Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

[darktiste]

Thanks, and yeah I think it'll be really useful for lots of things. architecture, setting up scenes with lighting. I had plans to combine it with a program that makes landforms so I could model interesting environments. I kinda just think it's cool though.

I definitely need to do more models, figure out mirror mod and manipulating the form the way I want is definitely a big one. I don't really need to spend a ton of time doing realistic rendering since I'll probably be painting over stuff, but it's fun to mess with different materials. I'll probably do some more tutorials to get more mileage with it for right now.

oh yeah the grease pencil thing is really cool, i hope i get to that.

With grease pencil you can literally draw on your 3d surface it similar to a texture without the unwrapping but what is even more insane is drawing as a plane which i think might be more natural way of drawing in 3d instead of drawing and extracting from a cubic shape your drawing become the shape which you then fill with edge.
 but you need a specific camera projection if you want to see it from a specifc point in your scene this what you can stack .
