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

Shameless crosspost. I need all the advice I can get on how to improve.

Hey Guys ! Well, this is a bit above the 1000 tris mark, but at 1300 tris I feel it fits here ! The outputs are from unity 3D. These are two of the many characters in one of our upcoming games. These were modelled by Mihir Mehta (you can find him in polycount) and the textures were painted by me ! Would love to hear critics, and what more can be done to make it better ! Thanks to you guys in advance !

Fart flight? Lol can you give a brief description about the game? Cool models btw!

Made a tank to go along with my plane and submarine. Going to make a few more variations.

No secret really, just hand drawn in Photoshop.

Looks good how many triangles is this?

Thank you! 169... I think.




^^^ What I'm working on now just to keep the art going (197 tris).

Maybe this isn't as lowpoly as it could get just jet. But im still pretty fresh on the lowpoly theme.

Still it's at 700 tris, and im going to get it down to atleast 500 before i'm happy with it!. This was originally made for PC games.

izuzf

This is still a work in progress, was originally made for PC games. Now im lowering the tris amount. 700 so far!

Thanks ! Mihir did a great job on the models ! The game is about farting to fly, and keep flying, and eating on the way to build up gas in your stomach ! :poly124:

SanderDL

Please tell me that you guys are making games with those awesome stylish models.

Uberren

Made a crepe.

Slamtastic

Still learning. The first attempt of mine that I'm satisfied with so far. 442 tris, with a duplicate outline object. thinking about what additional details I can add to the texture and what the hair should be.

Uberren, Vizmund, both of you should make games this assets in those styles, they'd be awesome!

Uberren, gettin' hungry every time I read these pages!

Skylebones: you're very inspiring

Just a little grenade launcher I built. This is also my first post on here

This is what i've been working on since yesterday! I'm a beginner 3d modeler, trying to learn as much as i can! I still don't know how to apply textures to the model! If anyone want to do it, PM me! It still need's some "doodas" here and there, like trees, rocks, debris, and i think it can be used for a little game world! I want to create a game inspired form the Dark Souls series, and a few others, with NDS like graphics, and i think this would do for the world, or a map maybe, where you would fight the boss, at the entrance of the tower! I hope to receive some advice to help me continue my work!








Thanks in advance!

A little project I'm working on, total 140 tris.

Still some props to do tho!

rory

Created for fun. Based off Teen Titans Go. I was going to do the full cast but this guy took a little longer then expected so probably not.

Update

That looks awesome Rory! You should totally do the other characters when you get the chance!

Love that keychain Delko!

Sweet! What is your texturing setup? I'm looking for a way to improve my workflow atm.

rory

Thanks darkmag07 and Sweetangel0467!

I texture in 3d coat. My workflow for this guy was I blocked out each distinct area (skin, clothes, pink area*, etc..) in separate layers so I could lock the transparency. And then I just paint in color from my pallet/concept. I like having a thoroughly worked out pallet (base, mid tones, highlights, etc) especially for skin. On this guy I didn't though. When the piece is about 75% done I switch to black and white to refine the lighting/rendering. And then switch back to color and fix any hue issues and add any final details needed.

That's pretty much it.

I'm in the same boat, I've been trying improve my workflow also.

Hey there, noticed a while back a few posts on Bloom art so wanted to take a chance to post some of my contributions to such a great and fun project. Took a while with this one but it was a lot of fun working on it.

Hi!
I found this thread to be very inspiring and so i tried to model something lowpoly myself.
For now, it´s just a boring barrel, but it was fun and instructive to do non the less. It´s 60 tris and a 32x32px texture.
I ran into some trouble with the top/bottom-texture because of the low resolution/ orientation of uvws.
And i couldn´t get the model displayed the in the viewport without muddy texture (3dsMax2014). Anyone got a hint how it works?
Any critique greatly appreciated :thumbup:

This should help with crisp pixels:

Nice Gx, great shading on that!

It's so clean.. :poly115:
How do you do that? Especially those gradients..

Thanks , This is honestly the first time doing hand painted textures on a character like this, so at first i saw some of the art already submitted for the project and got some inspiration/reference so i could get the look right, but i gotta say yours was my favorite, AMAZING stuff btw.
For the clean gradients you mentioned i just used the circular setting for the gradient tool to mark of what was gonna look like occlusion and then do it on a second layer underneath with midtones and lower opacity merge them and take the base color and blend what was left. I experimented a lot with this process so i wasn't sure how well people would like it.

Thanks btw Bloom was my first ever project outside of school I learned quite a lot and met great and fun people Are you a local?
