seems ta me a lot of coloring was done with image comics using 3d shading also...


...*runs back to thread*... poser dosent have a website anymore that I can find... is DAZ 3d any good???

Depending on the theme of your comic, Poser might be your best bet. I say this because there are hundreds of sites dedicated to Poser and millions of models. Thousands are free. I've accumulated over 20 gigs of models so far (and always growing).

The problem with Poser is that it's evil when placed in the wrong hands. Poser models don't bend well and Poser's render engine is horrible. It's just a tool, not an artist. Make sure you're comfortable with post-work when using Poser.

It's so true. I use Poser a lot in order to figure out the dynamic lighting on figures, but when you see a straight render from it, it's pretty clear that there's all kinds of things that just don't look right.
