I'm thinking of making all my backgrounds in 3D like the one in that page, but I wonder if low polly level screen shots will subtract from some of the seriousness of the issues in the Ghost Blade comic. (Ghost Blade will have its humor, but on occasion it will get on the serious side, but hopefully not all too much.) Also, making backgrounds in 3D takes a LOT of time. First positioning the geometry, then creating the textures means double duty to get those backgrounds done, perhaps 4 times as long if not more. However, if I wanted to make a game of Ghost Blade, I'd have the maps that much closer to completion. (Ghost Blade was originally a game idea anyways). Having the backgrounds made up in 3D does have it's advantages though, like I won't have to redraw them over and over, and I could come back any time I need them and take screen shots from any angle I need. Also textures are highly reusable. The first comic of Ghost blade needs shots of a city from a couple locations, then some shots inside a specific house. Lots of work, and that is only what needs to be done to make the backgrounds. Darn I hate using up so much time, though.

Bless you, comic #2, 'cause all I need is some empty wilderness ... Oh wait, darn it, I guess I'll have to build another city for that one too.
