Re: Does a good 3D Artist need to be a good 2D Artist?
I had this stuff called clay growing up, I always prefered sculpture to drawing....doesn't mean that I had no interest in art :) I cant really draw to the level that I can sculpt....with clay I can make the shape thats in my head, which I cant do with a pencil. I stick with three dimensional materials most of the time, and… -

Not a necessity but you will improve as an artist, giving you depth in your skill set to grow upon. For example doing traditional life drawing forces you to test your observational skills and trains your mind's eye in articulating what you see and translating that into a medium. It also forces you to constantly assess how… -

Sorry I wasn't being totally clear ... what I mean with the quote above is that if you have two applicants for a modeler position, chances are, the best one of the two is the one who took the time to do 2D drapery studies, anatomy sketches, and so on - because this training transfers instantly to modeling. It doesn't mean… -

Didn't really want to contribute to a thread thats become more about stating your own opinion than discussion but w/e.

When I started out, zBrush was very fresh to the industry. Actually it still is relatively new technology. So what you were seeing is new people learning it as their first art tool. Then at the same time, you had people that already had a background in sculpting or painting, so they already had some knowledge of anatomy,… -

No you don't have to be good at 2D. I always suggest traditional art courses for people dead set on getting a formal education because 3D courses are usually garbage that have to spend way too much time focusing on how to use software and not enough on learning what makes art good. A problem that is less intrusive with 2D… -

Of course... come'on now :) Personally, I draw all the time. And I sculpt with Chavant too in my spare time. This wasn't an argument against 2d... that's just ridiculous. You should give me the benefit of the doubt and assume I'm not just guessing what's best, but I tried it and I know. And mind you, I'm not making a…
