3D Backgrounds (coming in 2020)
Added 2020-01-19 14:37:53 +0000 UTCHey guys, I'm in the last stages of shading the animation for Killgar's Kode 2 but wanted to share that I've been learning the 3D modelling/animation software Blender.
It's early days but I think with some more learning and experimentation I can create some of my backgrounds in 3D and use clever tweaks to make them look hand-drawn. The hand-drawn factor is really important to me and if they looked "too 3D" I'd probably give up, but so far am very encouraged by the results. This method would seriously cut down on drawing time and could lead to some creative shots and otherwise-impossible camera movement!

Hey harry! Yes, if you can re-use the „rooms“ and show them from different angles - YEEEEESSSSS! than it will be a huge time saver. But PLEASE try not to go crazy with details ;-) i‘ve been using blender for a couple of mouths - i‘m still on the donut with coffeemug ;-) have fun!

2020-01-20 19:13:26 +0000 UTCLooking good so far! It took me a second to see any 3d look, and I was actively looking for it, so that's something!

2020-01-20 11:27:54 +0000 UTCI don't really see that being a huge advantage (yet), but I'll keep my eye on Grease Pencil and see if any more tools/features are developed for it that can improve the workflow :)

2020-01-20 00:00:20 +0000 UTCSince Blender now has grease pencil, are you looking into doing full 2D/3D animation with just Blender?

2020-01-19 18:24:34 +0000 UTCThis makes a lotta sense! Really hope that in the end this saves you time instead of being one more thing to get perfectly right 👍

2020-01-19 18:21:37 +0000 UTCSo happy to see you finding new ways to improve your work. Congrats!

2020-01-19 15:52:33 +0000 UTCI mean my use of 3d is very much just messing around with tools in VR. My usual cycle is seeing how cool blender is, trying to learn it and then getting frustrated when I can't figure it out and going back to my VR apps lol. Thanks to you I believe that cycle is about to start again, maybe this time will be the time I figure it out though 🤞

2020-01-19 15:09:12 +0000 UTCLool, coming from someone who actually does 3D, that's a compliment. I gotta lot more learning to do first, but it''s exciting
Harry Partridge
2020-01-19 15:03:19 +0000 UTCYes!! I think so :)

2020-01-19 14:58:56 +0000 UTCThanks, Eydi :)

2020-01-19 14:58:42 +0000 UTCVery impressed by these shots
Gregor Scott
2020-01-19 14:58:41 +0000 UTCExactly my plan!!! That said, I want to get OFF the ship as I'm so sick of seeing it, haha!

2020-01-19 14:58:31 +0000 UTCThat's cooool!

2020-01-19 14:52:43 +0000 UTCCould make the whole ship in 3D, as a lot of things happen in the ship and once you have it all in 3D you don't really need to bother redoing backgrounds for it over and over. Could do that for the gladiator arena too as it's just a big circle and then rows of seats :P
