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

bothers me that they are not digging in rythm to the music. other than that cool

My first attempt at a guy, pretty Wind Waker inspired. I'm super new to this 3d stuff but having lots of fun. I am obsessed with this thread! Everyone is making sweet stuff.

I found out that I now have what whole summer off. anyone know of any good side projects I can get in on I need to do work on a game.

I think you should do a 3D-printed stopmotion animation of WW2. That oughta keep you busy a while...

Sweetangel0467

Oh man, I envy that free time maybe do a project with a focus on learning a new tool? Like a new engine or learning some new shader stuff, script something.. I dunno something that's obviously going to look good on your portfolio.

AtomicChikkin

Create, create, and then create some more.

Which sadly, I should do more myself... and damn NDAs. I want to show stuff, but some of you understand the fun part of "working under wraps."

Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for quite a while, this is my first post.

I'm from Indonesia, working at a studio game.
Here's a work we've been doing at our studio

Honestly, I'm ashamed of how unoptimized the mesh is, so you don't get wires. It's more practice for the texture, anyway. Pixel art isn't my strongest thing. I'm also colorblind (in case it's not obvious by looking at it), so let me know if the colors are too alien or whatever. I was going after "Ancient pillar that may be standing in Egyptian desert temple" sort of look.

Texture is still WIP. This is the only angle of it you're likely to see, so I just left the rest of it in doodle mode.

EDIT:

Started the second pillar thing. It's got a circle on it. These are for a playstation fanart scene. I think I'm gonna rework the side of that top-most stone, cause it kinda looks like ass now that I look at it...

irmirx

@Squiggly_P this is looking REALLY good! And no, it's impossible to tell that you're colorblind the colors go really well together. (I would have probably made the darkest brown a little less saturated, but it's just me). Awesome job!!

UPD: My first 3d car

DavidCruz

@squig NICE looking forward to more.

Umm...I have low poly stuff but how do I add an image? its asking for a url?

Small hand painted style test work in progress. 430 tri.

Haven't ever really tried low poly stuff, but after seeing Slipstream and Delko stuff figured i'd give it a shot. There's something kinda therapeutic about making these.

Hello All, Very nice thread! it is good to be here! here is some of my models, hope you like them, if you have any comments or questions feel free to PM me! Models are under or around exact 1000 or less Tris .

I'm a bit over the limit but since this is some of my first low poly work i wanted to show it off anyways! This is Ken-Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul!

Two recent lowpoly models I've made. Trying to make one a day if I can for practice. Inspired by the great lowpoly models in katamari damacy.

Little test. Little fun.

Yeah I love the KD style and you're capturing it well.
You're probably aware of this twitter account that tweets all the models form the games?

Very nice.

But sling is not so broad to separate from the model. These polygons could be spent on a bang.

hi there, i love this thread, good job everybody ^^

i just finished the textures on my first low poly character . i did it for Game artisans's lowlife challenge.

Nice model. A littletexture distortion, especially in the area of the belt.

thanks ^^

i see now what you mean... i think
lol
i'll fix that asap thanks for the feedback ^^

Nice tree citizen

So, decided to try some things after that Geralt model I made a few posts back.

Was very fun to do. Sort of a remake of a model I had done before too.

Here's a small gun asset that I've been working on for a few days, any feedback is much appreciated!

Nice work ^^ does it uses normal maps ? could you explain us how you did this ? i mean it really looks amazing, almost like a 3d sculpt handpainted. congrats, i love it

GeeGeeMac

Thanks TRAUMWELT75! No, it doesn't use any normal maps, it's just a diffuse texture applied to a simple low poly mesh. I just started with a sketch that I did, then expanded upon it



I'm glad you like it!

Tommy gun, ~105 tris, 16x16, kinda ugly

That's really sick man, well done!

The sketch to final model looks stellar! Great job on this! How many polys/tris did you end up with this?

Joebewon

First attempt at pixel work on a 3d model, don't know why I haven't done this before.

Hi everyone!

Here is my first more or less serious work:


Giraffe, 978 tris.

I'm new in 3D modelling, so any critics would be highly appreciated

I was wondering how to achieve that cool look that every face has an indivual colour, any tutorials for it for these render settings?

JFinn_UK

Jeeze you guys/gals are talented :polytwitch:



This is a simple tree stump done from one of my photoscans (alas, no artistry here), 931 tris (with 4k normal and albedo map, no spec yet):
