Painted 3D models + 3D -> 2D environments

[Perihelion]

I wanted to try redoing it so I can make the head turn all the way to full 3/4 perspective, so I'm working on that now. Manga Studio has awesome and cool watercolor brushes. Also wonderful line art tools, but I couldn't be bothered inking this.

Reference sketch for view. I traced a model for both face positions to make sure the features lined up exactly correctly. I have no idea what I'm doing, but we'll see how it goes?!

I wish I attempted digital art more so I could use Live2D. Pixel portraits would probably look silly.

Maybe. o.o

 

[Perihelion]

Try Manga Studio. It has an amazing feature to make your lines better (not used for this drawing lol).

Whenever I click on the Live2D exe installer, it never loads. O_O

 

[Perihelion]

That's weird. Have you tried both the x86 and x64 versions?

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I don't think so. I didn't know there were two versions. o.o

I posted this in my other thread, but I'll put it here too. First background for my Unity contest game.

Peri, that's insanely good.

 

[Perihelion]

Thanks! I'm definitely getting better at these. I think it's still not quite there, but I'm not sure how to make it better.

 

[Perihelion]

Another background.

You'll notice the reflections are better than in the last one. I did them differently. I probably should revisit the last one at some point.

Edit: Changed the floor color.

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

I think I liked the red floor more than the yellow one. Other than that, it looks great. I've been replaying FFIX and I really do miss the pre-rendered backgrounds, and I know that this will look great.

 

[Perihelion]

Thanks! I hope so. I've done the easiest ones first. I'm going to need to figure out a good workflow for exteriors in particular, and some of the models are going to be hard to source.

Beautiful. And I guess it wouldn't be too hard to just rotate the camera and rerender if you ever needed to in future?

 

[Perihelion]

Well, that was the original goal, but I have to render so many different passes and do so much post-processing that it ends up being quite a lot of work. It certainly would be a lot easier than doing one from scratch, though.

Oh, Super cool scenes!
Your painted models are super awesome!

 

[Perihelion]

Thank you! I don't think I posted all of the most recent ones in here, so here are a couple more. Just the ones from my game thread.

 

[Perihelion]

Some more.

These give off a Silent Hill vibe.
