You can get both a one-time license without updates and a monthly subscription with updates. Back when I made this video there was only a one-time purchase and you still got all the updates but CELSYS changed it since then - understandably so. They need to make money somehow. XD

This should be Sketchup Pro 2019 or 2021.

Greetings from West-Potatoland!

No, I don't think anyone agrees on that. lol

Thannk you so much! 😭

X3 Why not do it? It's a very hard language to learn it, but if you really want to, just start. ♥

@@SoenKaiArt I study languages as a hobby and I honestly find it very fun to learn the culture as well, I’m going to start watching your videos as a sort of tap into the culture (and I honestly love the content).

@@-Moony-nickname- ^w^ Aww, thank you very much! I'm happy my videos help you along in studying German, haha

Haha, Willkommen, welcome welcome~

Danke Schon, und Hallo aus den USA. Ich bin Amerikan und Ich sprecht kleine Deutsch.@@SoenKaiArt Hope I said that right lol forgot "den" the first time

@@noahparker1384 =D That's already pretty good!

Haha. XD They were incredibly fast in doing the gens, so I was admiring that while absentmindedly throwing a hatchet and actually hitting someone. XD Didn't expect that because I usually only hit one out of a thousand lol

You are right. =) It is now called "SketchUp Free" and works browser-based. I can't say much about the usability of that though, since I'm using the standalone 2021 paid version. ówo

You opinion is not wrong, but also just your opinion. I work in the print-comic industry and it helped a lot with cutting time. =) Not every webtoon is an original with inhuman deadlines and even then this may be a way to cut time and still have good looking backgrounds. So what was your comment supposed to do here? ;)

​@@SoenKaiArt to start off, I understand that my original comment was lacking in explanation but to my defence I was in the middle of working and in a hurry; and I'm not really a fan of writing THIS much because most people on the internet doesn't like to read a wall of text, especially not in a youtube comment. But since I'm trying to explain myself please pardon my rambles. tl;dr I don't really know how you perceive my comment but I wasn't trying to shit on your video if that's how it came off, if it came off shitty I apologise. I wouldn't call my comment an opinion because I was speaking from my own experience and is indeed facts at least for the people I intended the comment for. -- For the sake of reference and background, I've worked in this industry for 5 years now as a lead artist; working in a team of 8-ish where time is of the essence, if one fell (especially the lead artists ;;) the rest follows suit. I work mostly with SK publishers; the competition over there is hella fierce (15 publishers, 100-ish production house) hence the tight deadlines but demanding quality. I was trying to see if I could change it up and somehow make my background look better, but didn't find what I was looking for so I left a comment intended for those who are in the same situation as me; tight deadliners. Again, I wasn't exactly explaining it properly because of time and that was my bad but I really don't think my comment was anywhere near rude to receive such a defensive reply; at least that's how it came off for me, but if it was rude for you I do apologise. I put the cool at the beginning so you'll know I thought this video was neat but not for someone who as I mentioned "actually work in the webtoon industry with all the tight deadlines" the tight deadlines was my point but maybe the misplaced "actually" is what gets you because as I reread my own comment it could insinuate that you are not in the industry when you actually are, I greatly apologize for that but still... I don't really appreciate the passive aggressiveness of your reply just because my original comment may look negative :( But rice has became porridge and water has turned to wine, misunderstanding happens and it is what it is, but I just want to explain myself so you wouldn't further misunderstood my actual intention. I'm not going to edit my original comment as a reminder for people to proofread their comment if they want to avoid misunderstanding. Cheers!

Yeah, you'd have to do that manually. (if it's just about shadows I usually make the ceiling disappear and set the sun really high)

You need a plug-in to open obj files in Sketchup. I use FluidImporter for example.

@@SoenKaiArt thankyou so much i'm in trial period now XD

Sorry for the late reply! =) Actually the Warehouse has a general model license in their terms of use, stating that you can use the free models (for commercial purposes also) if it's part of a larger work and / or has been significantly altered, which is both the case if you use the models for comic backgrounds. You can read the full general model license here: 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/tos/

Phew it's always a little hard to give advice without seeing the actual problem. But I'll try. So what you're saying is, that the white around lines and the shadows are not transparent when you layer them on top if the texture in clip studio, correct? Maybe something did happen in between, but you can easily make them transparent by going to "Edit" -> "Convert brightness to opacity". Did this help?

@@SoenKaiArt thank you very much it worked!

You can't really use Photoshop and Illustrator interchangeably since one is a pixel-based program and one is a vector-based program. If you don't have Illustrator I'd recommend getting another free to use vector program like Inkscape. However, as I am not familiar with Inkscape I can't tell you how to achieve the "hand drawn look" in that program. (It would probably be easier to find a roundabout way to change the look of the lines in CLIP Studio EX for me.)

@@SoenKaiArt Yeah, i used "smart smooth" on clip studio paint as someone here recommended. Is it possible that you could do more tutorials on how to mix 3d background with traditional illustration? I like the way you explain things 😊

Thanks! =D I'm glad it helped!

¿Qué versión de Illustrator estás usando? Estoy usando Illustrator CS5. Puede tener un nombre diferente en su versión.

Thank you♥️♥️

Sorry, I can't give you tips for that. I tried something similar to no avail which is partially why I use this kinda roundabout way.

Thanks!

I know there are styles. But so far there was none that fit the style I'm going for so I had to find another way... =)

Agreed

@@SoenKaiArt ooh Thank you💖

Yes, Blender is a good alternative to SketchUp if you don't want to buy the pro version. (understandable) Blender has some really great tools for rendering backgrounds, but the learning curve is much steeper than with Sketchup. It is a free to use program though which is also allowed to be used for commercial projects.

Sweet Home 3D is open source and easy to use

Updated reply: There's now also ABLER by ACON that can import Sketchup files and exports pretty nice results.

I can do that, yes =)

I use Topaz Labs Clean and / or Simplify filters usually. But as they're paid filters I didn't show them in the video.

ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊˚ Danke schön!!

Oh! What version are you on?

me too AAAAAAwu

Glad it was helpful!

Could you if possible make a video about the photoshop filters you use for your background that suit your style? 🥰
