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

Filcomet,
I like it. The cylinder seems very rounded, isn't?

Obscura

Here is a Lada 1200 with the previous fiat. The spinning is too fast now so the windows reminds me to rainbow, but I wanted to have movement in the window effect, so I used spherical projection instead of the screen coordinates. I'll play with the settings and a Trabant, and the Beetle will come next time.

Edit: Sorry but I still couldn't figure out how to embed a video :poly122:

Small update - 274 triangles and basic material colors (not vertex colors)


I've been going through older posts in this thread to get an idea of where to go with the textures. This is my first low-poly model in a low-res style.

Got time for a fast prop:

Glad my reflection "technique" could be of use!

I can see why you're still making cars in that style after 3 years: they're fucking awesome looking. Good work, very inspiring stuff.

Hey 4bidn, amazing guns, congrats! . It seems much higher poly, could you post some wires of them

Haha thanks, I've refined the style a lot since then. My early stuff was sloppy as hell.

@4bidn, glad to see the art of photo sourced textures isn't dead!

low poly subway station.
here is another one of my daily speed models. I have to fix the sizing on a few things but ill upload it as is for now.

@tucho Thank you. Here are some wires.

@Delko Thanks, but I do feel a little dirty doing it. :poly122:

Here's the stuff I've been doing, it's low poly aimed for mobile

wrong thread, sorry

@ Lumia Very nice village. Love the design of those trees.

@ Lumia I liked your renders. I loved your interactive stuff! Slick presentation!

Really like the lighting on this Plus that one texture pack you got there with the interior is really clever!

Delko showed his setup in a post before. It's a cool effect and he uses it really well with that texture style.

renderhjs: Those models and textures are really awesome. Would love to see that turtle and octopus when they're finished. Edit: Followed your link and saw the turtle, along with all the other juicy stuff in there. Damn, I need to get my ass in gear.

mavhn: Great character!

This is fantastic, thanks for the response guys!

Hello there... this is a WIP, not exactly that low (arround 5k)... but I hope you like :X

ImsumDave

Trying out a different style. I'm fairly new to hand painting. This is my first attempt. I used 3ds max viewport canvas to paint a base, then added color in photoshop. Excited to make more in a similar style. Tips and crits are welcome.

354 tris
256x256 texture

I modeled this based off a pencil sketch I had done a while ago. The original idea was of a giant automaton head with glowing eyes and glowing fractures on the skull. I'll do a retexture when I'm confident in my ability to pull it off.

tucho

Thanks for posting the wires, amazing work man! Did you bake the texture from highpoly models or did you directly made them haindpainted?

This is a low poly gun I modeled based on some concept art I found here.

@ tucho, These were all photo sourced textures. Pretty much being cut and paste, then blend the rest with some hand painting. Finally color balance the whole thing. There was no high poly model or baked textures.

Working on this concept by Jocelyn Joret from Gameloft's Monster Life:


I've got most of the structure in place (though there are still a few ngons to break up.) I'll be working on the trees next.

low poly modules and diffuse textures only

Looks great, love that modular system!

darkmag07

That all looks really great Ixumanu! Is this for a particular game or some kind of Unity Asset Store Bundle?

Obscura

It looks like a Temple Run reskin to me but the art is still nice!
I also made one earlier btw, this is why it looks like that to me I can recognize the modul types. Or maybe just every runner game use this template?

ixumanu

Obscura It looks like a Temple Run reskin to me but the art is still nice!

that was the "request" not my idea , i had to make somehow an 1 on 1 version for each tile, with some twists here and there, like the telescopic rooftop sections.

Not on asset store, it was for a game done in Unity

JasonLavoie

Beautiful work ixumanu!

Spacey

Great job ixumanu! Very clean texture work.

ixumanu

thanks! :poly121:

Sweetangel0467

Haha, gotta agree with the rest, this modular set is amazingly fun
I like how you "baked" the lights in those pieces. Was this to save on memory for mobile?
