Draw character concepts from any angle & any lighting. Gamechanger tools! 

Very good stuff, ty so much!

A content creator that actually updates an older video?! INCONCEIVABLE! BRAVO, Marco... You rock!

@@aopaul haha, thanks!

I can't find the apply button there :(

@@alice.2562 I just checked in the latest version. It's there! The little down arrow (looks like this: ⌄) next to the 'X'.

ping pong sameeeee

Cannot agree more

Haha couldn't have said it better !

MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO

Man, i'm a car designer and i def know how to paint, but i keep going through Macro's channel every few months and still keep learning. His tips are so crazy insightful.

Show us what you can sculpt since then.

You mean snake hook?

@@fo1711 A slightly deformed circle so far

I'm not a sculptor but I found sculpting to be more intuitive. It's much more time consuming though. Most people can get the proportions right. We see a 3d world and drawing is a 2d illusion.

Ikr !! 😂😂

Tbh the best way to learn sculpting quickly is start from just the skull with reference. Then then add the rest. After about 40-50 head sculpts you should be decent xD

I found sculpting human body more easier than to draw it by hands.

@@SirusStarTV I poly model my hands, or use the skin modifier

Ghost in a shell did it too

A lot of work done by studio Ufotable is done this way. For instance, there is a famous fight scene in the Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai) franchise which has a lot of dynamic camera movement. This entire scene is basically 3d animation, with only the characters being drawn ontop of the 3d itself.

A lot of sakuga animation employs that, during high-fidelity combat scenes where the camera flies around a massive 3D space. Although when it comes to anime, they can also do it without using any 3D assets for the characters. Pretty insane.

I Lost My Body was literally made this way

The dragon prince is made like this, its a show tho not a movie

This is a better solution, thanks!

Kinda new to blender, I wish I could see this explained in a video,

@@kelvinchuks8885 Maybe this will help: 1. What we're trying to do is change the color of the model to be identical to that of the background, that way the model will seamlessly occlude the lines that shouldn't be visible without appearing like it's 3D shaded. 2. To do this, click on the model of your head to select it. 3. Then click on the "Shading" tab on the upper side of the screen. Depending on your screen layout, one of the Blender windows will now be a dark grey grid with two rectangles full of numbers and options (called "nodes"). One should say "Principled BSDF" (a photorealistic shader) and the other should say "Output" (the final shader). The Principled BSDF node should be connected with a line to the first socket (called "Surface") of the Output node. 4. Select and delete the Principled BSDF shader as it's responsible for the realistic shading of the model. 5. Press Shift+A to add a new node. A little popup window will appear. Click on the search bar it has and type "RGB". From the results it gives you, click on the RGB node to place it down. 6. Connect its "color" output (the only one it has) directly to the "Surface" socket of the Output node- basically we're directly using flat color (instead of a proper shader) as the final material. 7. Now we need to make the color of the model identical to that of the background. You can either do this manually by tweaking the RGB node, or you can copy and paste the color of the background directly into the RGB node. 8. To do this, go back to your original tab (from the top of the screen), find the World settings (bottom right), hover your mouse over the world background color and press Ctrl+C to copy it (Blender copies whatever value your mouse is hovering over, including RBG values). Then head back to the Shader editor, hover your mouse over the color rectangle of your RGB node and press Ctrl+V.

Im new to blender, is it possible you can show this in a video?

@@northwind6199 thanks, this was helpful

I was thinking the same! especially when you have to draw characters from every angle

not as simple, you still have to draw 24 fps, in 3D its a lot more work, could be useful in some scenes with minimal movement (like blinking, talking) . I'm totally going to try this

@@smolder6366 Yeah ! A lot simpler and it would help so much in changing composition and lighting in few minutes if we have character sculpted beforehand. But now I need to study sculpting more lol.

@@gothiquegmail No, you misunderstood something... I said for comic book panels not animation, no need to worry about fps if person is just using it for comic book panels reference. But I guess, sculpting skills will still be required. It would make great reference if we could sculpt the character, then the artist won't have to find lighting references in web. We could just change the light position in blender itself for compositional purposes etc.

@Bobert Wiltshire Haha shity or amazing, as long as the artwork satisfies me it's all good. Nothing wrong in having bit of fun, if you start to work just to please others then you are done for.

Huh, thanks!

I HAVE BOTH KRITA AND BLENDER!! Fuuuuck I’m gonna have fuuun

@@chimedemon show some damn

Although, why you'd go with godot is beyond me. There are many better alternatives.

@@SyndicateOperative Why wouldn't I? How do you even know what is better for my needs and preferences?

100% this. That is why I find most tutorials boring

That would be me lol I'm terrible at remembering shortcuts so I just click stuff

See this tutorial: Blender for beginners ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KQSQTvW_oVg.html

clip studio paint will give you a 3d model to draw over, just paste the 3d model in one layer, pose it, add another layer and voila! draw over. Gives you all the freedom and range and all your favorite brushes too, just no lighting.

There's an iOS app that lets you 3d scan stuff, you can download the scan and open it with blender!

Mopolo can I please know the name of the app?

@@piixalvarez I once saw a video, a guy who take 3d photo of a dead chopped tree (I forgot the word for that, is it stump?)

@@piixalvarez it's called meshroom, the process is called Photogrammetry

YESSSSS

exactly, same here. gotta love this man

Blender's been getting some nice updates recently, so it's a better time than ever to start using it.

Once you learn the most important keyboard shortcuts, I find Blender much more intuitive and fun to use than Maya.

true

If lighting is not a real issue, check out clip studio paint, lets you pose a 3d model.

The sculpting options he shows here have been around for several years. Unfortunately the "dyntopo" feature has stagnated and is likely to be removed eventually unless the Blender Foundation can find a programmer willing to take responsibility for that section of the code. Their current sculpting programmer doesn't want to touch it but has been adding amazing new features over the last few months: twitter.com/pablodp606

Don't want to learn sculpting to draw from any angle/lighting? Well, you can search 3D model with "rig" then you can pose it.

@@shubhampranav There are tools to pose your 3D characters. The easiest way is with the "pose brush", found in sculpt mode. You can control how much part is affected by changing the radius size. It's not that popular because it came out relatively recently, and there aren't many tutorials about it. A more advanced option is by rigging the model.

2d on the other hand....

@@doppled you can do well with flipaclip or firealpaca if you know what you're doing. It's not industry standard, however. You will, sadly, need to pay for Toon Boom or Adobe Animate.

@Cade Mahler blender interface changes a lot ._.
