How To Make Smooth 3D by Rogue Ranger

Press PLAY and turn on 3D halfway for an #animation featuring a #tutorial on how to turn layers in Colors!3D into #smooth3D!

#rrtutorial I haven't done animated tutorials for a long time, but this is one people have asked me for a lot, so I hope this inspires you to try out some new 3D techniques with your art! :D And I tried to be thorough, but if anything was unclear, just ask.

If you're going to try out this yourself, please leave a comment so I can check it out. :D

nice tutorial =D
tbh i don't view 3d well, unless it's really effective then i can't see it because i have no depth perception, oh well xD

lol thx! i wish i was psychic ^w^

but she was actually a character for 4-5 years (as was Whitey and Blewy, they're actually like my first characters) but i had only recently come up with backstories and powers ^w^
and yeah, it may be weird, but i actually do daydream about my characters XD not them as in the personality or talents/abilities or anything, but them as in their backstory

Hi there! :3 Remember me? Lol anyway, me and a friend of mine are trying to do a collab and we're having trouble with the uploading part. Any tips on what we should do?

Very good animation! This was very helpful! I would love to see how you would animate with Flipnote 3d!

I used to need this, I was always amazed by your way. But I just learned by downloading your painting and looking at the layers. Oh, and for the collab, I was thinking it could be a person, (or a wolf, if you don't mind, I'm kinda bad at humans...) jumping in between two dimensions, one could be full of my drawings, the other could be full of yours! And I guess email, Do you have a disposable account I could email you from? And could you please make an account? Sorry for asking too much at once!

I don't use this method because there's no blurred eraser feature and I can see the erase edges even at the lightest setting, also if you leave the upper details on the lower layers you start to see double and it blurs said detail. I've found that a good way to hide a 3d edge is to make one in a solid color area, or you can avoid making an edge alltogether by only painting the closer details on the upper layer, and giving them a blurred edge, or otherwise adding an airbrush edge to the upper layer and blurring out the details of the lower layer.
