Anime help =[

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

Me and my sister teamed up on a game project and we ran into a dilemma. I don’t have GLSL currently so I can’t use toon shaders, so I have to fake it with textures. Some low poly anime modeling/texturing tutorials and/or anime models would be nice =D

I’m not begging like GIMME ANIME MODELS!!!

I just could use some help as I never really tried at 3d lowpoly anime. Please don’t just flame, I will modify the meshes so it won’t look the exact same (I have reference images)

Please and Thank You!

I don’t think I’ve seen any anime models out there.

As for low poly modelling here is a video tut on vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/1048354

I’m fine at low poly modeling, but it’s the art of 3d anime. I can draw 2d anime decent but I never attempted anime. I’m almost done with some hair (the easy part)

Ok I got a “basic” hair style done. I’ll update it, but I think for basic it looks alright.

Funny, I was just watching this. Maybe it could give you a few ideas.

Also get GLSL.
>_>

What do you think about the hair? It’s kinda weird because I need like 10 alpha planes for the hair =/ that’ll lag the game when your in a city of anime people ontop of logic, python, particles, etc.

Modelling an anime character shouldn’t be that different to a normal human model, on low poly… wait, how many polys has a low poly object? For me low poly is like 500 triangles (not quads)…

What do you think about the hair?
I think the hair looks perfect. I won’t change it.

hmm. I see. Well, I’ve noticed that when the camera is closer to an alpha map it tends to lag. However, there is very little lag with alpha maps if they are viewed from a distance. Perhaps you shouldn’t place too many anime characters close to the camera. =)

I’d like anime models mostly, as I have like 10 characters in my game and no models. It would take a while for me to do them all by hand.

12

Ooh just saw you replied… got any models or links to anything that’s free and legal? As I said I won’t keep 100% as you give me, I’ll modify it.

13

I’d make the hair a little longer. Otherwise you nailed the contrast and colors.

14

Thanks =D

Do you know of any free anime models?

15

there is a blend file somewhere in this thread: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95491

as you can see, it is high poly, so you will have to model a low poly mesh around it. (retopo could hlep…)
but that should be fine, since you said you weren’t just asking for a free model to be handed to you.

Thank you! I never realized there was a blend! I think I’ll when I get my new computer I’ll use toon shaders. That makes the most sense. That way I have real-time anime shades.
