3D modeling style guide/tutorial request

[AlienPolygon]

Hello,

I'm interested in making SRB2K themed models, they seem to have a unique shading method and textures. I'm an experienced modeler, but texturing/sprite work I'm novice at best. Are there any written tutorials or comments regarding capturing the specific SRB2k look? Or are there any .blend file floating around?

Please let me know, any information is helpful.

Flarn had created this and used it for their character, Sparks. This one should be able to render the 8 required angles you need from your model

[Open Assets] - Blender template for rendering SRB2 sprites

I created this as an alternative to drawing each angle of a sprite manually. If you're skilled with 3D modeling, you can use this template to create (what I think are) pretty decent looking sprites for SRB2. Included is the .blend file...

I appreciate it, I'll study this and see if I can learn how the shading is done. A really cool style!

I fiddled with it a few times and, despite my limited blender knowledge, I made decent looking renders for a proof of concept boss. It’s really useful for bigger characters or objects like Brak (who is actually prerendered if you didn’t know)
