Drawing from a 3D model (skeleton)

on: January 10, 2013, 07:57:15 pm
Hi,

i know this technique is old, one of the game I like and which is very old used it, Legacy of Kain Blood Omen, they drew their characters based on a 3d model which could be viewed from every angles.
I need to draw exactly the same angle view than in this game (45° top down), I already drew some animations but more from a 20° lol if you know what i mean.

So do you know how should i proceed ?
Can i download free to use 3d model of a knight for example and observe it in a free program like google sketch or blender ?
(i have no idea of what i'm speaking)
Are there already pre-made sites/animations with this kind of thing to inspire ? i don't need details on the character, the minimum would be the skeleton !


For the moment I only need walking anim from 45° angle and sword attack/shield pary.

Thank you for the eventual help

Hmmm....

Ok...

But I have no idea of what he is speaking, he may be targeting people who already know a lot about 3D

I thought more about a 3D viewer tool, i'm currently searching for this
