>the secret to making low poly waifus is literally just having 10 years of drawing background and tracing over your drawings with vertices and cleaning them up afteryet another win for 2d
>>984946>the secret to being OP is being a massive fagyet another win for homosexuality
>>984946The secret to good lowpoly is to be a good 2D artist but the actual reason is that 95% of lowpoly is the texturing. There's a reason Syntyslop looks like garbage while PS1 games still look great
Agreed, but being able to produce high quality orthographic concept art to simply "trace over" with vertices allows you to jump right past all the beg and int level 3dlets. It's the reason any time you see someone creating a low poly model, they build over the art rather than building through something like zbrush or polymodelling. In fact none of them do it.
>>984946is this actually true? ive been getting into blender lately with the goal of making my own low poly scenes/characters but i am mediocre at best when it comes to 2d art and dont even have a tablet i can draw or sculpt with (i do all my drawing in sketchbooks mostly). is this actually something that will greatly impede my progress when it comes to achieving my goals in blender or are there ways to work around/through it with persistence & effort?
>>985150No it won't impede your progress not knowing how to draw. Knowing how to doodle and stuff can help though. Especially when it comes to sketching out ideas and stuff for later use.Really the biggest thing is art experience if you're trying to make shit that looks nice like scenes and stuff, 2d is one way to get that, but there's other avenues like photography, graphic design, and all kinds of shit that helps you learn your fundies. 3d is kind of a mish-mash of all kinds of different practices, so having some experience in some of them helps. If you're just modelling real world objects and mundane shit though, art experience won't hinder you.
>>985160thank you
>>984946this looks great. are those shades from dynamic lights or baked in texture?
>>984946Only because Zbrushes UI is a cluster fuck of bullshit that I'm tracing over my own drawings edge by edge and vert by vert. Other than that, its all about them textures.Once I get Zbrush down, I'll be using it for quick sculpts and Maya for retopology. Mayas retopology tools are intuitive.
>>985150Yes it's true, >>985160 is on copium and wants you to smoke with him to validate his beliefs. Go ahead and look up the top 10, even top 50 low poly waifu makers. They all draw. They were all drawing their whole lives, long before 3D. None of them poly model or sculpt. They all use their own digital art concepts as references and build over them vertice by vertice.
>>985218Wrong
>>985219I accept your resignation
>>985218sorry im really new to 3d in general so i dont know if i fully understand what you are saying, where exactly does having a strong 2d background come in handy besides getting the initial idea down in a way that it makes it easier to bring it to life in 3d?
>>985226Accept you are wrong
>>985228nta, but a lot of the issues and mistakes of beg artist are the same when they make 3D. You'll even see it in their edge flow. Nothing lines up with the form of the anatomy, even simple low poly models lack a good shape and flow, or their textures are painted the same way the would paint if they were making a 2D art. You're going to have to learn a lot of the same fundies 2D artist already learned.There are a lot of 3D artist who never picked up a pencil, but they learned a lot of the same thing 2D artist already learned.
>>985179those are just 2D reference sheets https://x.com/Priichu/status/1602111863633895425
>>985305Why is she standing on a man
>>984946the secret is to not limit yourself to a dated style. it will look better if it was a fully fleshed out model and not a shitty lowpoly body with a texture stretched over
>>984946the problem with this style is that it often looks good in the editor but completely falls apart when you try to do ANYTHING with itsure your model looks good from the front, because thats how you made itdoes it still hold up when viewed from the side?can you do complex facial animations?what about lighting?hand drawn shadows will naturally look better than automatically rendered ones, theyre just worthless as soon as they dont match the scenes lightingthe reason why we do 3D is that we can make assets that we can drop into a scene that automaticallty work reasonably well in all conditionsnone of these "handdrawn to 3D" fags actually manage to do that
>>985372>sure your model looks good from the front, because thats how you made itStopped reading right there.You think people are not looking at their model from all angles?>>985305You really don't know what youre talking about. Low quality bait, rage all you want, i'm not reading your reply after this.
I started to get into Blender a few days ago and of course like any retard decided to learn how to model a character. Thank God i used to draw as a kid because the knowledge i have about anatomy helped a lot. To the point where i can sketch a character from front, side and back, and then make said character in Blender with vertices.
>>985372The fuck are you talking about? It looks good from the side views. The whole point of this style is to paint/vertex color the light, and not have any on the character model. If you do want light to impact character then you can just do light probes and transfer that color to the whole character.
>>985218>is on copium and wants you to smoke with him to validate his beliefsWhat are you on about? I straight up said to learn to draw in addition to learning other mediums."Won't impede your progress" was meant in terms of learning how the program works and the technical side of things. Drawing experience won't help you there.Learn to read, retard.
>>985423Incorrect, it’s a mixture of oversimplified and pixelated art. You see it on 2D games too when they don’t go all out on background.
>>985433What part of what I posted looks bad to you exactly?
>>985434AntiAliasing, lighting, realism pictures over cartoon scenes, possibly crimes against rigging and not understanding how 4chan sounds work.
>>984946>tracing over 2d with verticesIt's the secret to high poly modelling too. IT's how every 3d model was made before sculpting and it's how most sculpted models are made too.
>>985450None of what you said has anything to do with the webm I posted, fucking ESL.
>>985484Your webm is an example of developing teams doing cheap work in games instead of being better and greater. Wonder why Mega Man Legends isn’t great? Why it’s not remembered by the Mega Man fans? Well now you know, cheap game to help promote the brand, the real brand, Mega Man.https://youtu.be/J6lravGmPPQ?feature=shared
>>985500>Mega Man Legends isn't greatNTA but you take that back>It's not remembered by Mega Man fansRevisionist history here, jesus christ
>>985500>Why it’s not remembered by the Mega Man fans?lol lmao, go to another thread lowpoly isn't for you.
>>985531You’re only liking the looks not the better opportunities and practice of low poly models. Did you really think Captcom would ever allow to spend alots of money on a game that would sell less. No, they won’t and it’s why you people won’t get one.
>>985544>*a lot of moneyFTFY, be sure to check your grammar before talking shit
>>985544>You only like the aesthetic, not the ease of use and clarityYou what now? Crapcom wont release a low poly thing because just like every other infested AAA they are incapable of taking any risks or making anything thats not ultra normie realism graphics tm.
>>984946great
