LOW-POLY ART

hawken · Jan 2006

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

Flawed, but interesting project. I'll continue with it. Try to make a better face. I am no good with faces/cats/cartoony. Comments appreciated.

Buttlas · Mar 2015

Here's something I put together in a couple days. Left character is 884 Tris, right character is 1005 tris, and saucer is 176. Textures are 512s and could definitely be layed out more optimally

A 70's Arm Chair which I did an art test for a company. The prop had to follow Android mobile device restrictions.

872 Tris
1024 x 1024 Texture Resolution
Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 1.0

Really nice

I love it!

I know what you mean about the face, I got the same issues in my works ^^ that why I collect tones and tones of favorites on community website like deviantart, you should do the same

For this time I share with you somes, I hope it'll inspire you for the face ^^

Hey! Had a one week project in school, made a dragon

256x256 texture

Littlenorwegians · Mar 2015

Far too kind, jenioss. And those are some brilliant example. Last thing I'll post, but I was egged into making him do that PS1 JRPG battle pose.

It is very creative & inspiring to look at!

Bummer6 · Mar 2015

Made a buddy for my spaceman. Also changed the spacegun because it looked like crap (and still does).

Luciuspain · Mar 2015

That is so impressive you make me so jealous.

Luciuspain · Mar 2015

Huge fan of this thread long time finally tried to do a simple model my painting skills are so bad supposed to be a low poly goul.http://themightycelt.deviantart.com/art/FirstAttempt-518684269?ga_submit_new=10%253A1425768461

Im going to keep on trying to improve.

Ile · Mar 2015

Thought I'd finally try posting here. These were made in the past couple of days. They're the first finished 3D models I've actually made so far.

I've made some low poly chicken. 256x256 diffuse on the bigger ones and 128x128 on the small one. Maya and Photoshop.

Haha I like your chicken (especially the texture)! ^^

Snowfly · Mar 2015

Work in progress of a 998 triangle man with a 512 diffuse. The UV's are temporary while I block in the colors. I'll bake the paint down to a more workable UV layout on the next pass.

Been lurking on Polycount for a while but never actually posted because the quality is so high here it's intimidating! I've been working on a drone for a game I'm making

Obscura · Mar 2015

*GreyThought - You implemented my advices about the geometry nicely, the model wireframe looks fine now! Uv is better, but it could still use improvements. I can still see some repeating. here is one idea for how you could lay things out better:

You should use a few extra edges to tile properly from an atlas. Or you can use individual tileable textures with individual materials

Edit: - oh well, I forgot the lattice texture, but you can put it anywhere

achillesian · Mar 2015

Low poly, simple texture style dragonborn helm.

I'm pretty sure you missed the point of the thread. That might be under 1000 tris, but it's certainly not lowpoly for what it is. It looks good though. ^^'

Oh, forgive my inattention. You're right. Now check the statistics - 1040 triangles. I looked at the number of faces, 526

Yonderboy · Mar 2015

Started making this Wipeout craft as a hard-edge modelling project but I switched to lowpoly so I could get it textured a little faster.

Yonderboy · Mar 2015

oh, and here it is on Sketchfab (but please don't zoom in too far - you'll see the roughness

)

The texture looks cool except one thing... how is that the paint is going upside down? :P

This model was made from photographs of the original canister. The bottom of the canister was painted so as not rusted, painted upside down, paint flowed)) :poly121:

I really like the berthier-inspired rifle he's got. Dieselpunk WW1 is such a cool style.
