PostHeaderIcon The Sky's The Limit: Tips for Creating Sky Backgrounds

One of the main advantages of using 3d programs in your comics is re-use. Once you create a scene, you can change elements like lighting, cameras, and weather to use the same environment in new scenes or panels. Here we focus on how you can achieve different shots by changing skies and camera angles in Bryce 6.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tools Used:

Bryce 6 from Daz

Bryce Masters Series: Cloud City

Adobe Photoshop

If you are a comic artist creating your comics on the computer, 3d applications are likely an indispensable part of your toolbox. Even if you draw your characters and most other elements, a good 3d program can be useful for backgrounds.

This tutorial is going to show you how to get different shots from your backgrounds by re-using one 3d scene file and changing only the sky and/or camera angle.
