so ive been catching up on kingdom hearts series. im on 2. they have a really wide spread of character styles, even realistic ones for pirates in of the caribean. they also really love to jump in and out of the low res and high res models.
the thing i noticed that really sells the characters across all the styles and levels of detail is the painted lighting. so my nexy project is going to be trying out different techniques for such and I'll share my results.

Would you say the character models in Breath of the Wild are more anime style or just generally stylized? Their faces are more defined, with detailed noses and mouths, but the rest of their bodies aren’t all that different from typical anime designs.Which approach would be easier for a newb to learn?

I don't know if this has any value as reference material, but recently the gacha Tribe Nine announced EoS. Some people dug through the game (some previous version) and extracted the 3D models. Maybe this could be helpful for those trying to do the Danganronpa style in 3D?

I downloaded a model from a persona game to see how they solved the hairstyle of yukari in topology, and I'm wondering what the workflow of it must be like
Hair is one of the things I have genuinely never gotten a result I'm happy with yet, I've tried Curves, polymodeling, Sculpting and even the obscure lattice setup but never ended up with anything that both looks good and isn't a complete nightmare topology wise
Any tips? Even just in general I'd really appreciate it <3

Anyone have examples of appealing 3D anime faces that don't rely on normal trickery to look good? I can only think of Xenosaga 3 (picrel). The current paradigm is to sharpen the "snout" of the face like the blade of an axe, but this creates odd albeit expected shading artifacts (as can be seen here ) that must be manually adjusted

I personally use (an open source) program called Activity Watch that records app usage times.
It records actual live activity time inside the application window, when you're idle or program is open in background, it doesn't count that.
Very useful to know exact time you spent on certain projects or some activity in general.

I'm kind of weirded out by head models that don't have noses with nostrils.
Also almost all 3D anime models are scaled down chibi heads on realistic models.
Why? Who started this and why will I be accused of a western style if I have both nostrils and eyeballs?
2D anime doesn't do this.

I have a question. I’ve been studying 3D sculpting around 2023–2024 but my results have been abysmal and I’ve felt demotivated since November last year. Right now all I do is sculpt, yet I still struggle with things I want to accomplish, like sculpting from 2D to 3D. I avoided using turnarounds because I didn’t want to rely on them, but could they act as “scaffolding” for learning? Is there a “right” way to learn stylized sculpting? I’d prefer a more linear approach instead of just doing whatever I want. I sadly don't have any example works because i don't wanna shit up the thread with an off-topic work.
