Here’s a bit of my hand-painting process in Blender. I’m not an expert, so any advice is very welcome!!! I usually start from black and paint while thinking about where the light comes from #GameDev #3D #Blender #IndieDev #Texturing #speedpaint

Had a creative block, that’s why I haven’t posted. Thought I had nothing worth sharing… not true Been exploring the game idea and making rough sketches. Ugly, but very valuable for me and the process #GameDev #IndieDev #AIArt #3D #thinking

I usually go from general to detail, but this time I tried a different approach. I started with the details and will blend them into broader changes later. Wish me luck 😅 #GameDev #AIArt #3D #IndieDev #Blender

Not a big update today. I’ve been exploring ways to improve the textures and see if they fit my art style. Starting to wonder if I really know my direction… or if I should go back to planning #GameDev #AIArt #3D #IndieDev #Texturing #Blender

Found something interesting 👀 #PicoBerry meshes had more vertices but fewer faces than #Meshy Turns out it splits the mesh into parts (not perfect cuts), that’s why Pretty useful for game dev PD: UVs are chaos :3 #GameDev #AIArt #3D #IndieDev #Unity

#PicoBerry is by far the most accurate so far (based on the references). Great textures, solid mesh. I’ll check the UVs next, but I like that some parts come already separated. Very nice work @UModeler 👏 #Unity3D #Unity #GameDev #AIArt #3D #IndieDev

Tried #PicoBerry today 👀 For a beta tool and my first low poly attempt, this is pretty impressive. Topology is better than most tools I’ve tried #GameDev #AIArt #3D #IndieDev #LowPoly

Fixing the textures now. UVs aren’t great except for baking, but for simple hand-painted work, it should be fine #GameDev #AIArt #3D #Blender #IndieDev

I’m continuing with the retopology of a character generated with #Meshy. At this point, I’m not even sure if I’m saving time with AI… or just spending it fixing things 😅 Maybe I just need to improve my workflow somehow #GameDev #AIArt #3D #Blender #IndieDev #Retopology

There are still some topology issues, like you can see here… Looks like I’ve got a lot of work ahead 😅 #GameDev #AIArt #3D #Blender #IndieDev #Topology

#Meshy also has an animation system… not great, to be honest. I’d still prefer doing animations by hand, but it might be useful for references. I’ll test it later once I fix the weights so I can compare results #GameDev #AIArt #3D #IndieDev #Animation

Still experimenting with my workflow. Tried #Meshy for retopo… not great. Then tested #Hi3D, is better, but still not quite there. Re-applied textures with #Meshy and now jumping into Blender for manual fixes. Wish me luck 😅 #GameDev #AIArt #3D #IndieDev #Retopology
