Meanwhile in a tiny dimenson...
I created this Virus Comic with Blender. Hopefully, it's funny enough and not offending. I'm new to Comic creation. Please tell me what you think about it!
Thanks for any kind of Support!
Here are some insights about how the Comic was created:
Scene in the live Viewport (without Strokes):
Every Object in the Scene was modeled by me. The Flags in the Scene were created with Cloth-simulation (takes Gravity, Stiffness, Bending, Collision and Selfcollision into account). It took a while until i had good settings.
You can also see a little bit of the Material settings. I tweaked even more values to get the Virus Material to look like that.
Wireframe and some of the Freestyle Line Settings:
The sketchy outlines were hard to create with parameters. It took a few hours until I had the right setting and I'm still not 100% pleased. I need to add more parameters and tweak the old ones a bit better.
The problem is, Freestyle sometimes decides to make strokes where they shouldn't be. Many strokes on eyes, little details for instance, or bold outlines in the middle of a pillar.
I needed a way to control the amount of Strokes painted in specific Areas. And my solution was pretty easy and only a bit more time-consuming. I just rendered one Version of the Image without strokes and combined them in Gimp. The upper Image in the Stack was without strokes and I used the Rubber Tool to remove it. The strokes appeared and I had the solution.
What about Hive specific Comics?
I'm thinking about ideas for a Hive-Comic too and if you have Ideas for a Hive Comic maybe you want to let me know? 😊✌
If you have ideas:
You know, I'm doing this alone and in my free time so I need to simplify Scenes a bit. Simple Characters are better and bees are hard to animate. ;)
Please let me know what you think and
Thanks for reading!
Hive on!
