3D character creation process


Hey everyone! Thought I'd share my process for creating 3D characters, which is probably quite different from the norm. Mainly I use these tools for speed and I find there's a natural wonkiness that adds to the vibe.

1: Model on my phone

First off I create the models on my phone using a free app 3DC.io. It keeps it simple and of course it's fun to make things on your phone. 




2: Paint in Photoshop

A lot of people don't know this but you can work in 3D within Photoshop; I love Photoshop for this because I have access to my custom brushes and palettes. Here I'll paint the models using a tablet and export a texture. 






3: Animate

Finally it's rigged and animated using Mixamo and then business as usual in Unity!

As someone who is uhhhhh not great at 3D yet, I found this really really helpful to get me up and running quick and figure out some basics to start experimenting. Thanks for sharing!

Yes! Long story short you don't necessarily need Blender etc... to make things in 3D. If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out!
