Visulization, 2D or 3D

[Thevious]

This I feel has been a massive factor in my forcing sessions lately. I don't k ow if I picture violet in a 2D manner like anime. Or 3D like a person. I want it to be easy to impose her (as easy as I can get away with) but I just don't know.

 

Being 2d like anime, I can picture all angles, and rotations ext.. and this is easier than doing 3d to me. But, how would this go with imposition? Will she look like a moving talking, walking cardboard cutout?

 

Alternatively, would I go 3D and work extra hard to get this down so that when imposing starts down the road violet would look more realistic?

 

Plus I grow her in a 2d manner right now, like anime. So its hard thinking of a more 3D look. Thanks for Abby advice.

This guides pretty much shows you what you have to expect with the 2D scenario:

If you go for a full 3D visualisation it would surely be more realistic, but it would need a lot more work on the same time. People tend to have a hard time to visualize a realistic looking person. You could also aim for something in between, similiar to anime related video games. They use 3D models while keeping the anime look:

With imposition, it's usually going to be something that's more along the lines of 2.5D, where they would still look like your average anime waifu, but they would appear as if they're 3D. The images on this page should give you an idea of what it would look like.

I started with 2D for both visualization and imposition. But as I got better at the skill, it began slowly transitioning towards 2.5D and 3D. So really, there is nothing outright wrong with either, just personal preference. And training wheels if you want to eventually switch over.
