      This is literally the video I was looking for, Fortnite has the same Galaxy texture that move's in its own space instead of being stuck to the model and I had absolutely no idea how they did it. Although its in Unreal Engine Im sure its done a different way but at least I know where to start instead of being bamboozled.

  • @FutureWarrior8k
    @FutureWarrior8k Před 5 měsíci +5

    Man a pet peeve of mine was when some 3D artists would claim to make their models look exactly like the reference image, when there were still some key features missing from the model that the images had.
    I understand the difficulty it takes to replicate 2d art in 3D, hell I’m trying it myself, but it bothers me when some artists miss very important details like that and then claim it’s exactly like the art work.
    So I’m very happy that you were able to do what other artists, and I, couldn’t. Now I know it’s possible to make models look straight from 2d, it’s just gonna take more time than I thought.

    This is so cool!!! I see your post on X and I thought it's was done with parallax effect but it's much simpler than that 😲 Would it be more simple for you to use a already rigged base mesh with good topology, pose it and adjust the mesh in sculpt mode?

    • @VertexArcade
      @VertexArcade  Před 6 měsíci +5

      Yeah it probably would be a bit more simple to use an already rigged and retopologised mesh, but all of the characters I make have very different faces and proportions so I find it easier to do it this way! When using the mannequin, I don't have to worry about weight painting and joints, I can be free to move it however I need to move it and then worry about the topology later

    Great work, looks really nice. You do the posing work twice, I wonder if you could re-use the pose you do in the beginning for the actual rig though. Of course there will be the need for some further adjusting but in general that sounds like it should be easily possible.

    • @VertexArcade
      @VertexArcade  Před 6 měsíci +1

      I could do that, but the way the adjustable mannequin is set up isn't ideal for actually posing a character, it has all sorts of constraints and drivers that I don't actually need, so I prefer to use a clean rig

    Amazing work and I learned something interesting for any future projects I might have.
    correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the "Rest Position" Mode in the Object properties of the armature alleviate the task of re-rigging the model to put it into a neutral position or is this just a quirk of having to use the mannequin?
