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

@andrew_spencer I realise 'lowpoly' these days refers mostly to a particular art style, but this thread's about making the most of low polycounts. Given that your eyes have more polygons than the entire first 10 pages of this thread put together, I'm going to go ahead and say it doesn't fit

Hey guys, some lowpoly characters I worked on a while ago that I wanted to share here.  I forget the actual polycount, but they were modest. Thanks!

I think you could lower the triangle count some more. Regardless, it's a really awesome piece. If you don't mind me asking, how does the actual texture look?

The BBB. cute toonz for the kidz



tris: 478, 482, 488, 484
colors: 10, 10, 12, 11
now i'm thinking the textures contrast can be upped on these guys, and the squirrel has an update so i'm re-rendering that out.

@MrQuetch thanks man. yeah, you can always go old school, scrub out polygons and let textures do the heavy lifting, and they are already doing that there. might update that but it is good enough. the Viper texture has been linked in the original post

@pistachio Cool model!!!

Do you have artstation or behance?

JayS

My very own mouse. I thought it would fit nicely here 

pistachio

ATM no, I'm thinking a few months, some solid lowpoly work w/ better presentation would be in that ArtStation, and these ain't that expansive



tris: 54
colors: 10



tris: 20

I'm gonna go back and rework the rocket dude. Not feeling that one. But if anyone has critique for it let it fly.

I haven't checked this thread for a long time, glad it's still alive and going strong! good job everyone!

Ryza 1350 tris

weapon 715 tris

wizo

qwerty - that is looking awesome!

The highest-poly is the fox in the middle, with 1700 tris (not counting the outline mesh, which doubles it I guess). I was more interested in animating them than being efficient.
The character designs are not mine, they're from a TV show.

Haven't been on polycount in years. Good to see that the lowpoly juices still flow. Gonna spend the next few weeks reading all that's been posted.
