Using a 3D Blockout for Concept Art: Process

[@aaa-mt3tz]

Thank you for making this freely available, not littered with a ton of ads, AND breaking the video timeline up into pieces! So kind of you.

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you for saying thank you!

[@lassebauer]

Awesome tut as always, Jordan. Looking forward to getting time to take in all the details :)

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thanks :)

[@jordanpeoples2828]

amazing work! I'm a character concept artist I love what you do man!

[@robotomato5736]

last night i was thinking to blender as a base model and paint it. this morning youtube recommended this video XD I haven't even searched anything yet. this is creepy! Literally exactly what I need and great tutorial! thanks!

[@ok_listen]

I've paid a 1 year course about game art for (including taxes) 8400 euro. My parents struggled to give me this formation in hope to find a job in the industry, which is in a very early stage in my country. They didn't teach me this. They didn't talk about using 3d on concept art.. hell, they barely made me do concept art. I spent a lot for nothing. And you know what? I'm exremely upset. Channels like yours are helping me a lot retrieving that knowledge i should've learn 2 years ago, because in the meantime other people are taking my place, my job, where i should be right now. I'm extremely grateful for your guide. I'll religiously follow other tutorials of yours like i'm doing on this one. Thank you.

[@JordanGrimmer]

I'm so sorry your education experience wasn't up to what you were hoping, game art courses can be very varied in quality and there's only so much you can cram into a short space of time. It does suck when you don't get what you wanted out of something when you put so much money down. It's obviously easy for me to say this but definitely don't give up. Sometimes things just don't work out, but the fact you're still trying to learn shows that you're determined enough to keep going. There are so many resources online like you mentioned, keep digesting all that's out there and you will find yourself where you think you should be. Also, I would limit your expectations about what you get out of education like you mentioned. Even though courses like that can be useful and give you a head start, the real work is the work you put into it after graduating. Keep going!

[@ok_listen]

@@JordanGrimmer thank you for the motivating words, it may seems stupid but they means a lot to me, especially now. The said course has evolved and now new students makes spectacular thumbnails, paintovers, 3d blockouts ond overall works that looks straight out of a movie studio, and thats what made me rage for a solid minute. But anyway, at some point we have to reach our goals if we push, and thats where I'm headed. Have a good day Jordan.

[@oscarjimenezgomez1372]

When do you live? I am from spain and I want to do a similar expensive course..but now, I think I learn by youtube and myself. Thanks

[@ok_listen]

@@oscarjimenezgomez1372 Italy, so you can imagine

[@ArtBySuushimi]

Thanks so much for sharing! Love seeing how you use a 3D blockout, can't find many people who show what the next steps are in Photoshop but you do :) Looking forward to the next one!

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you! That means alot :)

[@Skyflairl2p]

Your use of colours is amazing! pure genius, well done!

[@idrawdreams9536]

I am so glad I found your videos! Thank you so much for putting your time and effort showing us your painting process. It's stunning and super helpful! I watch the whole video straight and didn't skip a single minute :).

[@MelvilleG]

Traveling sticks salesman is out of stock today. Great technique by the way!

[@richard12347123]

Yayy!!! Another one!! Keep em coming 🙌🔥💯 Thanks Jordan

[@verilobosh]

This is amazing, not only the painting of course, but the editing, your inputs and comments. Thank you!

[@paintedfoxes9889]

this is much like airbrushing the oldskool way . Nice to see we use similar techniques

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thanks!

[@Katsujin2]

Love that you're showing how you do 3d! Since you're a fan of block outs and layers you should use cryptomattes to create fast masks. Also did you render this in eevee or cycles, use denoising? Love your work as always!

[@badumtsy]

Quick tip - you can very quickly make an ID pass in blender, that can speed up further post processing.

[@XonixDerps]

This is interesting to watch, never thought of using 3d blocks to setup backgrounds or rooms etc. I agree with the idea on workflow though! Im a beginner trying to get into concept art and the first thing I realized is... it didnt matter how good I made something if I was to damn slow haha. So I been searching for different ways on speeding up my process. ( Im really good/fast at lineart so I might incorporate that..) I don't know if this process would be quicker though then just painting it for me ofc but definetly for getting a feel of depth and light!

[@user-es8tt8cd2z]

I’m Always appreciated for your kind videos , Jordan! I can’t forget your channel.

[@gordon1201]

Incredible use of colour

[@Groovingforwardatx]

Love this! This is the kind of thing ive been wanting to do with illustrations I just ordered an XP artist 15.6 display tablet so this should be a fun journey, good to see someones already doing it I subscribed :-)

[@JordanGrimmer]

I'm glad you like it!

Wow without seeing this video I mentioned about Blender in your other video about concept art and now I am your number one follower :) (Y) Thank you so much for those videos

[@JordanGrimmer]

Thank you! :D

@@JordanGrimmer I will go on with Krita and as I see you use PS and do you have any experience about Krita and what do you think for those 2 softwares in case of differences. Thank you

[@trentkuhn]

[@vivekrserleena]

[@trickstar4880]

Thank you for sharing this amazing process!

[@geodraws]

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Jordan Grimmer's magic show

[@MohitBhattBCH]

You forgot to shade smooth xD . Nvm Thank you so much sir . Been looking for this for a while .Cheers

[@azizfitratama7769]

how long the real time you did this artwork? please your feedback!

[@ping-536]

This is amazing where can I get these different brushes?

[@diabovici]

Awesome Jordan, may I ask what tablet did you use for this painting?

[@oscarjimenezgomez1372]

Thanks for the video. Could you do a video using blender to do a 3d blockout?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Already have mate kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGa9qoptgMSshpo

[@lsw1789]

Hi Jordan! Wouldn't painting the layers on top of the 3D model covers the bottom layer?

[@georgex231]

Why you don't start twitch streaming??... or...can you make a full time tutorial?? I feel so confused in some parts technically

[@Jm-zz7cc]

How would I wake something similar to the gritty brush you used for the bright white light?

[@marinamaximchuk4859]

спасибоооо☺️

[@kiraart123]

Can I know what brush you use?

[@ilgilg9920]

i like it

[@Dan-yz3vd]

Do you mind If I ask for the name of the song?

[@prajitvishnukarthik8886]

From which software,this one is made?

[@FX-Tracer]

what render engine in blender did you use?

[@midassnap9028]

Can you take a quick snapshot of the scene in blender with shadows without having to render it out which takes forever?

[@JordanGrimmer]

Sure, just print screen it. That's what I do if I'm in a rush and my scene is too busy.

[@eliodonvito9252]

how long did it take you :) ?

[@swethak8189]

Did you use any reference for this one?

[@Bahileb]

I wonder that you used any reference photo such as coloring or concept reference. Because this one seems pretty complicated to painting from imagination in my view

[@JordanGrimmer]

Nope, this is from my imagination :) but even if I had been referring to some reference that would be fine too. Using reference is important!

[@langianimations416]

I am not a very patient man, I stroke too fast and my laptop turns into a lightsaber... not the handle... just the saber................

[@leogravinsky4868]

отрендерить и обработать было бы куда проще и лучше

[@danielhead8202]

awesome symmetry is shit haha
