Re: Successful 3D artist without drawing skill?
Well thats true but those can all be learned in 3d I don't think drawing benefits in any single area other than speed. And if you aren't already competent with a pencil you might aswell stick to learning while using 3d. -
Re: Anyone else still use MS Paint?
I use it for sketching. I just start up the program, select the pencil tool and draw. Paint is compatible with Cintiq so I use a stylus also. That's just a sketch though. Painting/texturing is done in Photoshop but I don't like to draw in that program. I scan in a drawing done by hand and work on top of that. -
Confederate Broadside Suit
Whipped this up in Photoshop in a couple hours. Can't remember how many I've done before, but not much. I kind of like how it came out myself. What do you think? I drew the line art freehand with pencil and paper, scanned, then painted it in Photoshop. Some links to some tuts would be nice, if you had any. -
Re: Student looking for advice
These are my thoughts: - Create keyframe animations / hand made. Produce pencil on paper keyframe / animations if you can - animators get boners over the raw skills. - Pick 3 styles - cartoony, realistic - other. - The graphical quality shouldn't matter but the expression will. Sell the animation. -
Re: Environment concept art
This is wrong on so many levels. The fundamentals are the only thing that matters in all forms of art. 3D is nothing more than a tool, no different than a pencil, sculptor's clay, or crafts. The more you learn the fundamentals the better your art is regardless of the tools you use. -
Re: Drawing/Anatomy advice
I think you might be overthinking it a bit.. so long as you start putting in the hours, the questions of pencil+paper vs photoshop and 'how do i start' and 'how do i learn drawing and anatomy at the same time' are answered by experience, not by watching or reading. -
Re: Truly Hand-painted Textures
I think cuphead on xbox one is all hand made and then scanned in or something afterwards You can see some of the pencil animations here http://jake-clark.tumblr.com/tagged/cuphead Edit: here's a physical model of the background from the dragon boss fight and here it is in game… -
Re: High Society
Ha the first thing I thought of when I read the thread title was Cerebus. Nice going so far its looking great, Gerhard would be proud! You're going for the penciled crosshatch look? That could be pretty cool. I could see the crosshatch as part of a shader over some semi painterly textures. -
Re: Looking for critique
Thanks Striker! I will try that, I'd definitely been doing the color picking to get as close as I could. My next exercise is going to be a pencil sketch and see if I can recreate these materials, I'll definitely grab some refs so I can push them further. Thank you so much! -
Re: TRON - SCENE - Joshua Stubbles
Okay screw it, I have some free time right now. I kept the shading on the textures very simple (using the pencil tool at 5% opacity) so to have a very rough feeling. Lightjet texture: model/wire: Recognizer texture: model/wire: Guard tower texture: model/wire+vert lighting:
