hey how u doing? your models are beatiful so if i may ask could u tell me what is your process for texturing them or what materials do you use for them?
im doing good, and yeah no problem! the computer i did it on i never did a recording but basically i start with a concept and in blender i do like? shift+A then find image empty or empty image? and i put it upright 90 degrees
and so i start building my guy (you can use Z to switch between like the solid mesh form vs just the lines form/frame
this is the current render of the model finished besides the hair cuz i like doing that last
and the materials i use is just the normal face coloring but I have it marked as “shadeless” option! as you can guess it just keeps it from having any shadows so you can get that lowpoly 2D look!
i use Adobe mixamo which is like a library of poses and animations? things like running, jumping, to certain poses (i used this to make a game with my character also! so it’s very useful if you don’t know how to rig, it uses an algorithm to rig your character for you. you could stop there and download the version with all the bones now to pose yourself or you could look at the adobe library!)
and heres another example! so making that concept drawing is super helpful and makes things look right (the first model I ever made looked so wonky because I didn’t)
so you want to start with simple shapes then progressively make them more complicated, you can add more sectors by i think control+r and that creates something called a loopcut which is very helpful
thanks for reading, im sorry this is so choppy and fast but these are the images i have on me! I used youtube tutorials to teach myself, Blender Guru is a GREAT resource and I’d watch his stuff
