As part of work on Shopkeeper's Tail, we've been polishing up the art to bring it closer to that mixed-media vibe!

Great question! Basically the solution is a little bit of photoshop to ensure that you're getting all of your correct color values. This process is not entirely perfect for models that are pre-painted (as you have to go in and adjust stuff from time to time) but for a blank model it should be fine!

By hitting real-life objects with RGB colors at the correct angles, you can make your photos have normal maps! Incredibly useful for mixed-media.

You can read more about it (and the project we used it for) here!

Devlog #2 - How we used Blender to simulate claymation One of the first things we did when we set out to make a mixed-media style game was ask ourselves this: How do we make something like this even possible? Working with a friend of mine, Pann Prechachev...

For Shopkeeper's Tail, we had one semester to explore claymation in game development. We used Blender with clay-like shaders to simulate the look, which worked great!

You can read about the process (and get access to documentation) here!
