LOW-POLY ART

hawken

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:

• Keep models under 1,000 triangles.
• Scenes are fine, if all models are low poly.
  

Some dedicated low-poly modelling tools now exist that make this art style a lot easier to produce; Crocotile3D & Blockbench

Here's a handy list of ways to make your art look right in mainstream 3D software: Low-Poly Art Style Guide

A little over the tri count, but here's a low poly fox I did.



Incredibly poorly optimised, countless modelling and topology mistakes, diffuse texture unnecessarily large, but I had a lot of fun quickly making this!

I'm digging the VG remix stuff. I don't suspect anyone minds the cross-posting.

As always, great work, folks.

My first Post here on Polycount and my first try at Low poly Modeling
Compared to all the amazing stuff here, i feel out of place, but we all got to start somewhere.
Girl: 1095 Tris (Most for rounded details)
With sword and strap: 1225 Tris
Crits more than welcome though its simple design with flat defuse is on purpose.

There's something to be said for a first attempt that's simple and attractive. That's a pretty decent ninja model. Keep it up!

Wow these VG remix's are feckin amazing!

I am thinking of using 512 x 512 for the head and another 512 x 512 for the body and weapons.But then I could just use 1024 res for both head,body and weapons.

I hope you don't mind me chiming in. I would suggest making a 512x1024 map instead of a 1024x1024, you would be doubling the amount of pixels/data otherwise. I don't know if you're aware of it but going from 512x512 to 1024x1024 is 4x more pixels/data, which is not intuitive at all if you haven't thought about it as square units before.

Even though devices today are quite powerful I think having one texture map is better than two. It should improve texture lookup performance if I'm not wrong, for the same reason a texture atlas is used.

I just want to say that I don't think you kept in the spirit of the competition with your entry. The idea was to take a game and make it look worse. Not better. Definitely not like 100x better...

You definitely cheated.

And I'm not bitter at all.

Hahaha. Oh man, you scared me there. I started reading the first line and was all "What?? What did I do wrong???" :poly122:

Thanks, dude!! That's extremely nice of you to say. I just hope I did the original game justice. I'm a huge Advance Wars fan.

Awesome the VGREMIX stuff guys! congrats to all of you

Here you can see some pics of ultra lowpoly models which I made for Railroad Island, an iOS/Android game from Summer Time Studio

Hey guys, first post on here.

Critiques and comments are very welcome

I know that the vg remix challenge is already over, but the concept seemed cool and I wanted to create sth aswell. my game is splinter cell. the first one (aahh... memories...:) ) this is what I got so far: https://tastypudding.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/vg-remix-splinter-cell-wip-1/
the texture on the rifle needs cleaning and the guard is very wip. also I havent build the pistol yet. and no environment.
I'm thinking maybe the one splinter celly-corridor, where sam is doing a split as the guard walk beneath him

I only added sam here, because the post would be to long :P

Wow! I really like the style you used here! But the face seems a bit weird, I think it could be improved, right now it's to small to spot what seems weird, but I guess something about the nose/eyes is off. Maybe show us some closeup?

But great work! Loving it. This makes me wanna see Vincent! Haha!


EDIT: His upper arm feels a little too long.

I'm also a big fan of this -- completely love it -- but agree that the face looks a bit off.
I think this could either help either fix or ruin it:
* Darken his eyebrows so they don't look like eyeshadow. Here's a good reference at the same angle as your pic
* Maybe drop the sides of his lips more (depending on how it's going to be showcased - head-on I'm sure it looks perfect; this angle looks a bit beakish due to his face shape)
* Lessen the saturation on his lips just a tad.
:thumbup:

I painted the texture for the guard today, entirely within blender.

dunno who else here was doing the 7 day fps but we're just submitting ours now.
We've only done one play-through in co-op but here's screens from it.

Do try it if you're interested. It's jank, but thats how 7dfps goes sometimes. Still playable.

The style is pretty much exactly like a lil sci fi dude i posted here recently, as it was quick to put together

char model sheet, more appropriate for PC forum i think


and some other assets

surt

Mouth-watering stuff Harry!

Wendy de Boer

Very nice work, Harry!
I feel the ingame lighting is too dark to go with the more lighthearted style of the assets, though. Not sure if you had any influence on that.

W.martin

I was board and stumbled across this forum, and though I would throw a car together. I don't know what kind of car its supposed to be, I didn't follow any references, just kinda made it.

It was kind of a difficult situation. We wanted turning the lights on to be one of the objectives, it was pretty much a sad reality that this means most the art never really gets shown off.

Also, if anyone likes the proj please consider voting, we'd like to get it more exposure and feedback.

ruberboy

My cheap sonic4 attempt. about 1000 tris, 256x256 texture. It was a practice so... Ill leave it like that. Im not that good at lowpoly

I know it could be done with quite less... next time I will better.
Here is the texture and mesh.

Wow..so much fun and great talents around here

This is awesome!!! The cameras FOV in sketchfab is an awesome approach. Trips me out man :poly105: just like the whole Alice in Wonderland genre. I like it.:thumbup::)

Even though it's a bit over 1k triangles, I feel like this belongs in the lowpoly section more

I know I posted this before, but I'm adding a engine!

MrJohan

Hello.
So after many attempts to embed my model via sketchfab and not geting the hang of it I finaly gave up and just posted a screenshot.

so this is a model I based on myself


The Char is 993 tris & 256x texture
and the guitar is 96 tris & 128 texture
