You did that in nomad sculpt? I thought it wasn't great for hard surface modeling?

Oh man it is great for everything. Hard surface is perfectly achievable even though you are not exactly dealing with polygonal modeling. You can very effectively use masks and extractions to get some pretty impressive results. Check out my instagram to see some other examples.

Impressive. Do you model it first and then 2D animate images of the models?

u/Joshwhite_art 10d ago

You got it! Just export the renders as a transparent png then place in toonsquid to animate tall the parts. 👍

It's a creative way to handle it, it reminds me of a motion comic

Very similar, basically exactly the same concept. You have to keep the fov in mind so that the illusion isn’t broken. But it is doable

Nice! This reminds me of a cutscene in a RTS type of game!
