Hello everyone, Here is a low-poly hand painted sword that I made based on a concept image I found online. I was hoping that I could get some critiques on what I could improve on. The demon head wasn't added due to time constraints and I noticed that I could have merged a few of the UVs to make my life easier after I was…
Heya - I don't think anyone in this thread implied this. As far as I am concerned my point is that it will without a doubt make some creative work environments very toxic, very fast. To sum up my above points I can see this happening in two ways : 1 - Loudmouth "idea people" (either high up in the executive ranks or from…
Hi all — looking for thoughts from experienced artists and technical folks on a workflow challenge I’ve been thinking about. I’ve been examining common pain points when moving assets between Blender and Unity, especially around: * Export pipelines (FBX/GLTF) and unexpected mesh transforms * Scene hierarchy handling and…
Diffuse = midtones Specular = highlights Normal = shadows that's generally the way I look at it... it's more complicated than that of course, but... yeah. diffuse is the natural color of the surface if everything was evenly lit... most everything should be in the same or similar value as to not compete with the lighting of…
Hello ! I have a problem with a project on blender. I have 2 objects (a character and his weapon) and each of them has been atached to amatures and weight paint. The goal is to make animations like run attack and then import the mesh on unity. So I want to join the objects inside the blender project to avoid multiple…
Here is the finished model. Started doing some colour blending. Currently working with fill layers. The tutorial uses regular painting layers and he jumps around to different hues a lot... Will experiment with that to see if I like it. It scares me a bit because its more of a destructive workflow. Leaves are missing from…

Hey, so I was recommended that you guys may be able to help out with a project I'm working on for my sister's 14th birthday. She has an original cartoon character she's created, and my parents and I are interested in 3D printing a model of him for her as a present. I have access to the 3D printing technology but all of my…
I think what you're seeing is less a hand painted style / technique and more the results of the technical limitations of the time. I'd guess the art direction was aiming for realism in the texturing and shading, but low texture resolutions resulted in some exaggerated shapes and details. Probably some light information…
There can be a pretty significant difference between what bakes/packs well and a layout that is painting friendly. If you do a lot of painting, you can use two separate UV channels. UV1 bake/packs well, UV2 painter friendly. Then transfer UV2 to 1. I tend to do this with ultra low poly meshes that are mostly diffuse only,…
