This tutorial volition rapidly utter over well-nigh the workflow of turning 3d homecoming into anime trend background using Photoshop together with Blender3D.
3D Models
Start the procedure yesteryear modeling all the require models inwards the scene. By using 3D, these assets tin goes into your stock library together with last reuse inwards other projects.
Arrange the 3D model according to your artwork layout together with design.
Object Shader together with Materials
Since nosotros are going for anime trend background art, the default diffuse shader is what nosotros need. Toon shader volition final result inwards 3D objects that hold off apartment together with cartoony which is non what nosotros are aiming for.
For unlike objects alongside unlike colours, changing the cloth colors is to a greater extent than than enough.
Scene Light Setup
Scene low-cal setup is real elementary too. What nosotros require are one Sun light which shape shadow together with one hemi light for ambient light. Ambient low-cal volition decide the color inwards the night expanse (shadow).
Layers
All the 3D objects are homecoming inwards unlike layers of alpha PNG. Organizing artwork inwards layers volition deal a lot during ikon together with animation.
Sky
First matter to pigment is background sky. Sky together with cloud color tend to last the Sun light together with hemi light color nosotros used inwards the 3D render.
Paint Over 3D
Step to pigment over 3D homecoming is conduct forwards every bit well. Color selection (ALT inwards brush mode) from the homecoming together with pigment over it. Repeat the steps until nosotros got that painterly experience for the artwork.
Sometime, nosotros only require to pigment the brighthest specular/bevel expanse every bit shown inwards the paradigm above.
Painting Extra Objects
Some objects tin last pigment inwards 2D instead of rendering them inwards 3D. From my experience, trees together with bushes are best to last pigment inwards 2D.
We could also composite to a greater extent than or less photograph origin elements into the artwork. In this case, distance edifice are added into the artwork using photos I took. Remember to color degree together with pigment over the photograph too.
Before together with After
This is the in conclusion final result of the pigment over. Reload pages if images are non loaded.
Artwork
Below are unlike version of artworks using the same 3D models.
