Description: Gives a list of softwares to use with Wacom tablets, with descriptions of what they offer.

Overview

I recently received a Wacom One tablet, and wanted to look into which art softwares work with it and work with it best. As far as I can tell it seems that most general digital art tools will translate decently to greatly when working with a tablet in this day and age, so it doesn't seem limited in that aspect at all. Now I just need to figure out which one(s) make the most sense for what I want to use it for, and this resource seems like a decent starting point.

After this, I want to work it down to one or two softwares and start to round up some tutorials to get my footing with them. Most likely I will look to start with Adobe Photoshop since I have a little experience with it already and it's always at least a decent option for almost any need. From there, I will most likely see what options those who make 2D game assets tend to use if possible, or which are just easier to pick up.

The list they provide is as follows:

  • Adobe Photoshop: (image editing, digital art, sketching)
  • Adobe Illustrator: (logo design, vector illustration)
  • Corel Painter: (digital painting, sketching)
  • Clip Studio Paint: (comics, illustration, 2D animation)
  • Autodesk SketchBook: (digital art, sketching)
  • Affinity Designer: (digital art, logo design, vector illustration)
  • Krita: (digital art, sketching, 2D animation)
  • GIMP: (image editing, digital art, sketching)
  • Inkscape: (logo design, vector illustration)
  • ArtRage: (digital art, sketching)
  • Corel Draw (Bonus): (logo design, vector illustration)

Exporting FBX from Houdini with Color

April 17, 2019 Exporting From Houdini FBX and Color Information Exporting the Model Using my balloon Houdini example from class, I was able to export the geometry using the Educational version (the Apprentice version does not allow exporting FBX, but you could export an OBJ for my purposes possibly). This was very straight forward, as you can just use File -> Export -> FBX in Houdini. Since I was doing this for a class to use in a Snapchat filter (using LensStudio), I wanted to reduce the poly count a lot. I opened the FBX in Maya and used a basic Reduce to reduce the poly count a lot before exporting that for use in LensStudio. While this was good enough to export the geometry, I could not get any of the color information to come with it. I originally exported out an OBJ and had the same issue, so I exported FBX in hopes it would keep the color information somehow, but this was not the case. Exporting the Color Information My first thought to get the color

Houdini Assignment - Fuse and Group

Image
April 8, 2019 Houdini Assignment Fuse and Group I worked on a Houdini class assignment to make a basic model and decided to try and create the bulb on the back of a Bulbasaur, a Pokemon that is half plant and half dinosaur. I figured I could use a lot of the basics we learned in class to get me pretty far, while also needing to cover a few new things to get it exactly how I wanted it. In class, we created a basic hot air balloon. This consisted of tracing a curve over a background reference image of a hot air balloon, creating a section of the balloon from this original curve, then replicating that section as many times as needed to fully encompass the full balloon. These were a lot of principles I used for creating my bulb. The biggest hurdle I needed to overcome was that that top of each of my sections would all need to connect at a single point, so I would need some additional nodes after simply creating a "left" and "right" variation of my addit
