My dumb self just found out that I can use Sketchup (a 3d program that's commonly used by many Webtoon creators) as a computer program, instead of on a web browser which was what I'd been doing all this while ๐
Anyway this makes things much easier now. No more browser crashing every 15 minutes, and I'm finally able to purchase actual 3d models to use, etc. I spent today and yesterday teaching myself how to use it properly, and this is a scene I've rigged up for Ep 7, so I can rotate things around and get more creative with the camera angles! The final scene will look nothing like this because I need to rework most of it, but at least I'll have a better visual idea of object placement and things now.
I've always hated doing backgrounds. I also hate working with 3D programs (because everything is so technical and I can't just 'feel' my way through things). And I promised myself that I'd hire a background artist as soon as I could. But somehow, by a strange twist of fate, I'm doing almost all of the background art myself, now ๐คฏ๐
Also, the next POM episode will be up later tonight, or tomorrow afternoon depending on where you live <33
