Gamedev Post: Backgrounds with perspective. (Patreon)

For complicated backgrounds, I create a simple 3d model then I use a photo of this model as a base for drawing the scene. I'm not good with perspective and it helps a lot.

Imagine the time if I had to make the background from nothing. Or look at Avril's Ex backgrounds where I didn't use this method.

I don't always proceed like this, it depends of the environment.

You can recognize this place in the game.

If the scene needs to be from another angle, I can open the 3d model and change the photo I will use. But I still have to do draw over the photo reference to make it 32 colors and good looking.

Do you want to learn something special about the creation of the game? Leave a suggestion for a future Gamedev post. These posts are to show the work around the making of the game.
