Because it looks really bad
Which Youtuber told you that?
How blind are you?
It really is baffling how thoroughly people have been brainwashed into automatically rejecting ANY kind of art that isn't a 2D drawing. It's kinda creepy, honestly. No thought or consideration, just pre-programmed behavior, like a cult.
Thread over in one post.
Are you going to keep making this thread?
3D looks like dogshit.
3D models nowadays look much better than when they were used to make comics in the 2000s but they still look awkward. I've seen a lot of attempts and even ones by 3D animators. Their animations look great but their comics look weird. The way to make it work is to have a filter that makes it look 2D or at least look like it's painted.
The models isn't the problem, the action is. You can't get comic book action from 3D models, it's always going to look stiff and awkward, like people just hovering around posing instead of being in the middle of performing an action. No sense of weight or movement.
And yes, 2D artists who suck at that should be criticized too because it's their job and they shouldn't be shit at it if they're getting a paycheque, but replacing it with 3D makes the problem worse. 3D action works fine in motion but not in still images.
3D gets used for animation because it’s less work than drawing every frame. this doesn’t apply comics, which are still images. and even if you do shit in 3D you still have to conceptualize it in 2D regardless so why even bother at that point?
>even if you do shit in 3D you still have to conceptualize it in 2D regardless
Not really, no. You're more or less creating a diorama.
if you want it to look like shit, sure
There's a "sweat equity" people expect out of comic artists. It's not real art if it's "easy" to them.
I saw some guy thing it was a big deal that they were using 3D models for backgrounds and grunts.
That's fricking stupid, and just sounds like butthurt entitlement.
How does that looks like shit? Explain.
When you say 3d you mean Ai shit, don't you? But even if that isnt the case, 3d comics tend to look awful
1) Nice job ignoring the part about -current- tech, because apparently we're supposed to ignore that stuff like SFM and Blender exist.
2) Your example quite frankly looks better than the vast majority of modern house style shit from the big two.
I think it’s just about the expectation of 3D and how it just looks better in motion. Also just think about the games that have come out in the last 15 years that you initially though “wow this looks amazing!” Then going back to it and seeing how antiquated it looks in just a year sometimes.
>better in motion
Again, which Youtuber told you that?
Point to a good 3D comic and let me know why you think it looks good. I’m not going to say it’s impossible for a comic to work out of 3D, but it’s just not what that particular visual medium was ever created for
>Point to a good 3D comic
Point to a 3D comic that was made after 2005. Nobody bothers to try making them because they're invariably shouted down.
>not what that particular visual medium was ever created for
Oh spare me this pretentious prostituteshit. 2D drawings weren't invented for the specific purpose of being arranged into a series of panels to indicate a sequence. By that logic, comic books inherently can't work at all.
>point to a 3D comic made after 2005
The worst issue of Batman Inc. Only one guy has regularly tried to do 3D comics for the Big Two and they too have uniformly looked like shit. There's a reason it's the artform of choice for autistic pornographers who can't draw. Said pornographers also tend to do better with 3D animation than still images, because it looks like shit in stills but much better in motion.
When your entire argument is that it COULD be good OP, it helps if you actually have decent examples to back it up rather than endless what ifs or attacking the people who point out you don't have any positive examples to back up your incredibly flawed position. If you want to read superhero comics that just look like shitty 3D porn comics rather than shitty tumblr hack artists more power to you, but neither of those artists can actually draw. If either of them could they probably wouldn't be making superhero comics.
>one guy does it mainstream, but bad
>that means that the concept itself is inherently bad, and nobody else should ever ever try it
I'm done talking to you, you brainwashed drone.
Is that made in Poser? Cause it looks pretty alright.
I have no idea.
Seems to be some 3D software but painted over.
