LOW-POLY ART

This is the sweet spot for your low-poly models. Post 'em if you've got 'em!
Low-poly hasn't really been a requirement in the games industry for a long while now. This thread is for low-poly art style appreciation, so please take note of these rough guidelines:

Low-poly hasn't really been a requirement in the games industry for a long while now. This thread is for low-poly art style appreciation, so please take note of these rough guidelines:
- Keep models under 1,000 triangles.
- Scenes are fine, if all models are low poly.

and a little variation
@Inseto: nice! please make a trippy hippie texture for that! :P
This guy is now called lolbat. These recent lowpolies are for a mobile game i'm working on.. So anyway we needed a mummy-venom-exploding-bat-thingy and i thought what the hell!
Also first WIP of Clives anims

@Sixton, insanely good yet again, awesome wingsssss. A good use of 16,384 pixels xD
@PogoP, shure
@Sixton, nice idea! I made a quick and dirty one, but the result is acceptable.
plus one more variation
The lowest one looks like rapistmobile.
Yeah, paint the words "free candy" on the side and it's perfect
I love campervans, you.
InSeTo: neato, really enjoying the pixelart style
the headlights feel a bit blurry/misplaced, compared.
RAWTalent: looking interesting, maybe he should put some more energy into that "Energy Zap", it looks more like he is saying Hello! :poly108:
So I am still working on the Samus textures, but I felt inclined to do a quick pony. 398 tris without the hair, anyone know some good curly hair tricks?
Brought to you by 3dsmax and the magic of friendship!
He said he did that in about an hour.
Edit : Except if you meant the 'weight' of the image.
grime is repeating on the last one and it's quite noticeable
AND
black lines around windows and windshield wipers are too black. it's distracting... maybe make them the same color as the tires?
Here's a little something I made:
Note the funky UV to avoid jaggy angles ;D
Face reminds me of the speedball 2 artwork.
694 tris and an in-progress texture (sans hair at the moment). C:
(Post edited to save some space.)
iLKke: aaah so sweet with that chiselled look, I saw you try to post it earlier but the mod took too long to let it post.
Dewclaw: the face is almost human :poly122:
Working on this texture still, I do think I'm getting better
450 tris (but the hair is twosided for now). 3dsmax is grabbing a bit of stuff near that midseam, I don't really know why but I will have to find that trick that just makes the UVs mirror at the edge and it will be gone.
2 questions: is 256x256 too much for a 450 tris model/thread specs? And how bad is it to feather your alpha map a little? Oh I guess these things would answer themselves if I was making this for anything but fun <:)
WIP base textures main character of iphone game..... and his pet boar ofc!:D
Gilbert The Hunter and Porker:
Edit: little update on face textures, Textures sizes are 256x256 for Gilbert, 256x256 for the boar and 128x128 for the gun..
@krisCrash: Cute! i'm sure you could get that down to 128x128! Feather? doesn't hurt to try i guess. Keep it up! Oh and now that i'm looking at this i'm thinking if you could add something that doesn't belong there. Nasty tattoo or something
Did this for some hand painting practice.
Comes around at 157 tris and a 256*256 uvw map.
The wires.
Dunno if I can be arsed, just felt like making a quick lowpoly of my bass
@krisCrash: Yeah, I waited for like a week for mods to notice me. Now I'm waiting for my avatar to 'kick in'.
@b1ll: I comply, here's more:
I was really pushing it with a tiny texture.
This time you can also see the mesh, and I'm all open to critique. Please bear in mind that these two models were my first ever, so I still have a lot to learn.
edit:obviously it was never meant to be animated.
im working on something new, not just a truck a whole scene this time.
It's awesome, you made an itelligent use of the texture... I love it!
Not too happy with the shirt, will probably go back and adjust it alot once im done with everything else, only just started on the shorts, alot of random things going on xD
PS:still WIP

your model brings a smile to my face!
Maybe it needs more shadows down the sides though, you've got the detail definition going, but maybe something that gives shape.
Maximus!: I dig it!
Yes, that is a good idea but I think it's been done. I think a tribal tattoo would look neato on these, even if a GRITTY NASTY one is more tempting. ANYWAY, it was about time I gave a little polycount tribute a shot
Thanks a lot for the continued crits everyone, I learn a LOT from this thread.
Looking awesome, keeping my beady eye on this ^^
512x512
Later I will update with the final version
Sweeeet and you add some some sound FX nice too!!!
dude your horse is amazing!!! Can we have it like a SDK model? please?
