The difference between modeling and vertical drawing

Modeling and vertical drawing are two common techniques in the field of digital painting. The difference is that modeling mainly realizes the presentation of three-dimensional realistic scenes, while vertical painting is painting on a two-dimensional plane, mainly presenting figures, roles and other images.

Three-dimensional realistic scene

Modeling: refers to the process of transforming a 3D object into a virtual 3D model with the help of computer software, which can be realized by various softwares, such as Maya, 3DS MAX, Blender, etc. The process of modeling mainly includes creating or importing basic geometric shapes, modifying geometric objects, mapping and rendering. The advantage of modeling is that it can present a more realistic, comprehensive and three-dimensional effect.

Role card, game scene layout

Vertical painting: (also known as portrait material) refers to drawing a three-dimensional plane image on a two-dimensional plane through digital painting software, which is usually used in the fields of role cards, game scene layout and so on. The drawing tools for vertical painting can be Photoshop, Sai, Clip Studio Paint, etc. Different from modeling, vertical painting can only be presented in two-dimensional plane, and its three-dimensional sense usually depends on painting skills, color application and so on.
