I had another go with Ebsynth, a non-AI tool (often mistaken as AI) to synthesize an inputted style onto video or animation frames using stylized key frames. It is a tool for digital rotoscope animation. There are limitations to this tool insofar that the keyframes have to match the video frames pretty closely for the…
This is a selection of personal notes on some of the technical aspects I’ve made over time using a program called 3D Coat. 3D Coat is for sculpting and painting 3D models. I mainly use it for painting models at the moment although I would like to use the sculpting tools more. Because the program…
The point of this blog is (hopefully) to help like minded people find resources and inspiration to perhaps try new things. I am still learning how to do digital sculpting myself and I have written a few things about that on the blog. I started learning general 3D art skills in 2018 (perhaps I dabbled…
I’ve written a few things about this subject over the years and you will find quite a lot of information around the internet on lighting sprites with normal maps and doing things like making 3D models from depth / height maps. I wanted to add a few things I’ve been playing with to the mix….
Earlier this year I sculpted this rabbit in ZBrush and then painted it using 3D Coat and Krita. It is also available on my Sketchfab page to view as a 3D model. Handpainted Jumping Rabbit by Christine on Sketchfab If you would like to see the process for the texture painting I recorded all of…
I’m currently working through texturing some 3D models I’ve made and in the process I’ve been learning a few more things about the software I use and trying some different workflow and technical approaches. At present I am using a program called 3D Coat to do the UV mapping, baking and the PBR based texture…
Baking is the process of transferring high sculpt details onto a normal map texture for a lower resolution version of the model for texture painting. I’ve made a few new videos for my YouTube channel you can watch if you are interested in this subject. Baking a Goldfish in 3D Coat 2021 Baking a Rabbit…
