It's impossible to make a 2D illustration and a 3D model match perfectly, and in the case of 3D, they must look good from all angles.

Learning how to use software is one thing, learning how to make 3DCG is another, and to make what you want to make, you need both... it's hard!

There are two kinds of things you need to do to get better at making computer graphics, and one of them is "things you need to do by the numbers.

When creating a 3D model for work, it is safe to check with the client about anything that cannot be determined from the information in the reference materials alone.

When creating a model of a character from an existing illustration, it is common for the character's face and hairstyle to differ from picture to picture.

The 3D model, both for the character and the hair, is created with the four elements of proportion, volume, silhouette, and detail, which is the Toha style.

Character models for games often create tousled hair. Extrusion method hair modeling is recommended for tousled hair

3D models of characters range from those for smartphone games to those for the pre-rendered video! Mixing them up can be confusing.

When making a character's hair, it is difficult to create the hair if the facial outline, eyes, nose, and mouth are not defined.

Modeling hair, both long and short, is hard! The type of difficulty is a little different.

Reason of don't use a halved sphere object as the base of the hair model when modeling hair.

How to add a Rim light-like effect to a material using Fresnel in the Blender node to make hair shiny.

How to change the shadow color of ambient occlusion using a Blender node and multiply it by the texture color.

The way to get the texture colors to come out as they are in Blender's rendering settings is to change the color management from Filmic to Standard!

When creating polygons for the back side of the skirt, the vertices are slightly shifted so that they are not in the same location as the front side.

If you want to apply the same material to multiple objects at once in Blender, use Ctrl+L to create a link -> Material!

When hand-drawing textures, use the UV image output from the UV placement export as a guide for drawing the texture.

How to open a face UV in Blender with a straight frontal view and put the drawing on the face as it is on the texture.

I want to align the size ratio of the UVs that are scattered by averaging the UV islands when I expand the UVs in Blender.

How to use Blender's UV expansion add-on UVToolKit 2.0 to expand the skirt's UVs into a straight grid

Apply to object created by Blender's link duplicate will cause an error, so let's unlink before we do it!

Blender's UV expansion is weird if you don't apply the object's scale value -> scale to 1 before you do it!

Blender Alt+D is a link duplicator (like instance copy), and all duplicated objects can be edited together.

When the mirror modifier mirrors to a strange position, reset the object origin position to zero.

When modeling characters in Blender, it is recommended to set the focal length at about 150mm.

When making a difficult model, keep a copy of the finished model so you can proceed without fear of failure.

If you put a temporary texture on a face model with a UV projection modifier, the texture doesn't shift when you move the vertices!

The wrists are positioned at the crotch and the elbows are positioned at the waist, as is usually the case with the human body and character models.

Simple and standard way of splitting polygons for knee joints and such, which is common in low-poly character models.

When you're modeling, it's easier if you divide the polygons while thinking about what to do with the texture at the end.

The more polygons you have, the harder it is to model polygons, and the easier it is to organize the polygons you don't need.

Unless there is a special reason, it is safe to make character models in realistic scale.

If you're modeling with a mouse and feel like you're going to get tendonitis in your hands... try modeling with a pen tab.

I want to make it easy and beautiful - but I don't need to know all the useful functions of 3DCG software.
