>>4104918Which based are we talking about here; the literal form of "based" readit speak, or "I was only being unironic" based? In either case the issues I have with 3D models is the following:
1. 3D pose models does not create the ideas for you
Yeah, you can pose virtually almost any standard pin-up pose. But what's the point when it's not creating the ideas for you? You'd still have to thumbnail your idea and plan what you want to finalize. For if you don't it's just going to be another trite image on the internet we've seen a billion times.
2. Pic related. 3D models lose a huge amount of expression loose drawing can convey. Good luck finding a model to massage sketches that look natural like an animators here.
>but aaaaanon, animators trace over 3D models all the tiiiiiiiiiime Are you not looking at the image. Or for better reference there are a ton of animator sketches in pencil on pinterest right now. I have a board dedicated to it. If I find the time to not be lazy I'll link my reference board.
3. 3D models are unpredictable. And because of this, you can bend and twist a figure so unnaturally so that it breaks the pose. That's because most models have to limiters. I know of some that have been user created that have limits in the joints but even those are unpredictable.
4. 3D models do not help you with your anatomy. They simply do not. You still need the anatomical knowledge not just because you need to show the surface muscles buuuuuuut--and this leads into 5
5. You need to still know anatomy to do drapery well. And at this point if you're lacking in both departments your 3D tracing is going to look like amateur shit.
I have 5 more reasons but I got some anime to watch and my time is valuable. I'm still waiting for those stream videos.
