Hey everyone! Thought I'd share my process for creating 3D characters, which is probably quite different from the norm. Mainly I use these tools for speed and I find there's a natural wonkiness that adds to the vibe.

Modelling

First off I create the models on my phone using a free app 3DC.io. It keeps it simple and of course it's fun to make things on your phone.

Texture

A lot of people don't know this but you can work in 3D within Photoshop; I love Photoshop for this because I have access to my custom brushes and palettes. Here I'll paint the models using a tablet and export a texture.

Result

Finally it's rigged and animated using Mixamo and then business as usual in Unity!

Quick thanks to all my fellow jammers! Really it's been a blast so far! :skull:

If anyone still wants to check it, here's my HTML game 'Group Chat'.

And here's a devlog I posted earlier about my 3D character process, hopefully I can make another one before the end that'll go 'behind the music'.

So many great games, time has flown by.

And if anyone's looking for more HTML games to play, * here's mine! *

Hey everyone, just want amplify my friend's Windows game. It's their first completed game, let alone jam, so let's show it the LD love and get it to 20 ratings!

Only 13 more ratings needed! TY!

Thanks Ludum Dare from the gang at Group Chat!

The past week I was definitely stuck in my own loop enjoying everyone's games and comments - so many great efforts and wild ideas. See you all next time! :v:

Oh and go rate some more games in the Danger Zone!
