Technical Exercise #329742-W
Another Photoshop meets Blender artwork. This method seems to be very effective for concept artists, and Thomas Brissot made this amazing work with it.
How do you guys feel about using Photoshop or any other program to aid in your concept art creation with Blender?

Take a look on AzPainter 2.x

The software you use and the methods you try are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things in my opinion! If you get the result you need by doing 50% Blender and 50% Photoshop then who cares! If the result is a pleasing image, then any method or any software is acceptable.
I often use Photoshop to ‘finish’ something and just use Blender to basically shortcut 95% of the hard aspects of working with 2D art, eg: to get the perspective right on details and shadows, etc, then skip the hard 5% in Blender of the fine details and just use Photoshop for those instead. Layer in a few images, liquify to fix mistakes or silhouettes, etc.
I don’t think of it as ‘cheating’, ‘cheating’ implies there’s a ‘right way’ to do something, and a ‘bad way’ to do something. There are no ‘bad ways’ to do something, if it’s the ‘right result’, then it was the ‘right way’!
And if the result you want is just a pretty image, well, 2 decades have been spent making Photoshop the perfect tool for making pretty images, might as well use it for more than just textures!
Nicely spoken!
people who use the term cheating are hung up on the idea of perfecting their technical ability
but the creative process does not care about the tool used but about the achieved end result
there is no cheating – there is only using each tool to its best abilities
that is how I teach my students at my university.
Thanks USER1!
I thought that MyPaint and Krita were the only Linux suitable for drawing, I didn’t know AzPainter existed, going to try it now :’D
GIMP is great for photo manipulation, but the brush system is too slow sadly, hopefully the day that they optimize it for painting is almost upon us :D
It is often, i have a problem in blender, so i have to look for a solution, sometimes it is faster to solve it with other programs.
The only what matters is the finish result!
