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

DELKO!!!!


that game is RIDICULOUSLY fun!
I can't stop playing it!

Are you going to disable a visible mouse? It would be so much easier to play without a mouse cursor distracting me

Looking rad vadim! reminds me of ol' Kennth Scott's Daikatana weapons textures (which u have probably never seen, and should!)
I'd suggest touching the darker tones with a bit of red. Just a few strokes here and there with a measure relative to how darker the tone is

Thanks for advice shotgun! I edited a bit tones and here is what i come to:

Not yet nellyb.. I wanted to make this a little exercise on rigging/animation before I jump into that class again.

I ... LOVE ... LOPO....

I cannot say this enough.

waronmars

I made these

Sonjool

Sordid23: Thanks, hope it didn't make you too hungry haha.

Blackmetal: Wow that's an awesome looking gun with super cool stylized shapes.


Here's another thing I made for class. Put it on sketchfab this time.
136 tris.

nice textures!

Sweetangel0467: Wooo! Bloom buddy I saw that and I was like "Hey, I know that little guy!"
Sonjool: the minor changes you made are rad, looks good!


So like, for Lighting and Texture.

Sonjool: I like the style!

This is a van I just finished up. It was inspired by some car models I saw in this thread.

Schoening

Hey guys!
This is actually my first proper 3D model
Quite surprised how well it went. I haven't used blender for about a year.
I am looking at some tutorials to texture it at the moment..

840 tris

(Suggestions are appreciated)

Aerial_Knight

Hey guys here is a model I been working on for a while. The before was my first try at modeling it. The after is what it ended up looking like using feedback from my awesome team. I really think this shows the power of feedback.

The head was modeled by Sweetangel0467



Bloom!

Haha neil let's have Bloom all over the place ^^ I'm not sure if this falls under their low poly budget though.. *shrug*

Aerial_Knight: Cool. Looks very much like a cross between Iron man and Gipsy Danger from Pacific Rim to me.

ESPECIALLY the hands !!

Low poly battery with 512 x 256 texture.



Edit: Optimized the mesh and added a new texture.

TimSkafte

I have been testing a sculpting/normalmap generation pipeline for a project im working on. Theres still some artefacts, but overall it looks fairly decently. The Pillar is 656 tri's and the vase/jug is 560. Its just a basic diffuse + normals shader in Unity.



dont mind the lightmapping/baking to the left.

snoop

Mask from one of my favourite games.

244 tris
256x256 Diffuse, Specular, Normal

Modeled in 3ds max, textures photoshop cs5 and nDo2.

Saay.. how did you make that nice 360 gif Revocare?

Unity, made the object rotate and screen capped it. Made it loop nicely in Photoshop afterwards!

I'm looking for feedback on my first character model. This is the main character from my comic, Selene, and I thought her proportions and outfit would be a good, simple enough project.

Working through the texture right now.

Wackimation

Nice job, snoop! By far my favorite Zelda game.

Blizz_kathyz

Very cool Zelda piece!

arlen

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Did this as an exercise to stretch my low poly muscles.

Jammes

I like it Zelda game.

senaji212

Yeaaahhh..! I like the concept you have there.

GrungyStudios

i love the mask it brings back good memories

Phrozin

I've been working on these for a bit. I'd like to make a game where you play as a scarecrow protecting the farm from pests, investment bankers, meddling teenagers, and giant monsters.

Scarecrow- 740 tris
Truck- 160 tris
Corn stalk- 44 tris

I'm not done with the truck's texture, but you get the idea.

Vizmund

I'm hesitant to post this here, since it is well over 1,000 polys thanks to the hair and godawful topology. But, what the hell, you guys might appreciate it anyway. If not, I'll delete the post.

This was made as style practice/portfolio thing, as it isn't too useful as a game asset without some modification (mostly the hair, since it is 4,816 tris alone...)



Here's the wires. The topology is pretty bad for anything other than a half-decent still.

And here's the quick random sketch I did at my desk that inspired it. Didn't quite hit the mark maybe, but I prefer how the model turned out.

Working on this for an app called minimon, 176 trio's. Will post more later.

Sweetangel0467: that chocobo is amazing!!


hi guys its me again. Ive tried to make a low poly sword for a practice of texturing. :P any good tips?

Sordid23

That's a lovely barrel megacorps!

Torch

That is some low poly talent, nice going Jessie

Have to say, I'm a fan of weapons, the barrel is awesome, and the chocobo is amazing as well.

Sweetangel0467

Thanks guys!

I don't know why you used so many poly's on the form inside the blade.. if it really has a very prominent silhouette from the side it might be good to show that in your preview too ^^

Sordid23

Mimiws: I just made a quick paint over of your sword. First of all I love the design! But it has some weaker points... well mainly one weak point... THE POINT! I think it might be the result of the render, but it would be worth your time to see if you can do something with it. The texture changes are mainly sharper highlights (since it is metal) and a big gradient from top to bottom. Hope it helps!

PS: It's a bit more red...

Magihat

Made a lowpoly Ellie from The Last of Us and posed it to emulate this promo picutre. I'm not used to do stuff under such strickt specs but I feel that I learned a lot. Will probably make Joel as well and perhaps even the bandit at some point.

Torch

Magi - Nice one dude. I think overall your texture's still a little flat, you could improve the face as well even under such tight restrictions as the likeness isn't quite there yet. Pose is cool though, think its definitely a good piece!

Thanks for your input, really appreciate it. I added more contrast and reworked the texture of the face to be more like my reference.



This is probably as close as I am going to get with my current UV-set.

My first post here, hope it's in the correct place!

Tri's : 1172
Quads : 600

Diffuse / Spec / Gloss / Normal : 2048 x 2048

This is my first true effort to model and texture a real-time game prop.

Programs used : 3ds 2012, Photoshop CS + Nvidia filter plugin and of course, Marmoset 2!

Any comments welcomed!

Cheers, Alex

Heyo, first post on Polycount. Just recently finished up this character. Im planning on using him in a game Im planning out.
