What s your favourite graphics instrument?

**xibo** · 08-11-2008, 07:31 AM

I don t know if this is the right section, but i think it s not 'general' or 'spam', so i'll post it here >_<

So, what instrument(s) do you prefer?
feather x includes predrawing/sketching with pencil, 3D CG includes 2D CG texture maps and includes all range of 3D computer graphics from your selfwritten opengl/direct3d program to CAD+raytracing.

I prefer pure pencil drawing with shading -> pencil greyscales.

Pencil Greyscales if im drawing

But any type of 3D CG preferably if its on the PC. (As you can see by my 3d model thread)

When you say manual post-processing, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean anything added after the initial rendering process (ie, taking renders into photoshop or AE) or what?

**Raguna** · 08-11-2008, 11:12 AM

c4ds and smudge,gotta love using both,also my favorite tool for shading is pen tool :3(now that i got the hang of it its pretty easy)

i would consider everything as postproccessing by hand that makes changes to the final render and is applied by you by hand ( e.g. applying some effect in photoshop or outrightly drawing something ). an automatic postproccess would therefore be something like laplace or so that is issued by the renderer in some extra step.

Oh, in that case, 3D with both automated and manual postprocessing.

I don't really have a favorite, I just try a bit of everything...

MysticAngel · 08-17-2008, 08:59 PM

well personally i use a bit of everything like sensei-kun did... :s
so i would had to said that i don't very had a favorite instrument. but i'm sure do use a lot of brushes and effect stuff.
