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

cool Ghostscape! I especially like the brown tank and hummer!
not sure, but from this angle, I feel the brown comanche could benefit from a little bit more contrast...

here is a old one of mine to keep alive this nice thread ^^

stupimon N°1 "Ornitomouse" , 440 tri

BoBo_the_seal

That kicks ass! Great work Kak

Peris - I love the little monster looks so neat and its soo low polyed Good job!

indian_boy

luv that platypus/penguin/duck hybrid thingy 'kakikukeko.'

its...... cute.

obson

very cool kak!

poopinmymouth

Is that Kate Blanchet? Looks great man!

Emil Mujanovic

That's awesome obson. Great work!

Toomas

Three thumbs up to obson!

JordanW

nice pallete obson, its nice.

Peris

this was fun

Joseph Silverman

Maybe a bit highpoly, considering, but really cool.

Sharx

interesting character Peris, nice work

||Saker||

here is my model,it's W.I.P

Turoid

How many polies?

Zcubed

Saker, this thread is really for finished low-poly (~500 triangles or less) models. Your character is WIP and subdivided, so you would probably get more help if you started your own thread.

||Saker||

sorry .. but u can see the WIP model by Oddmind here ....
poly count : 349 poly for this model with out mesh smooth &^^

hawken

saker, this thread is for finished models under 500 polygons, please read the rules on page one.

you may get better feedback in the "so what are you working on" thread.

kakikukeko

I hope I will be forgiven for the 29 tri over the 500 limit
As his little brother was above, I thought of posting the Stupimon N2 : Parrozard !!

Sa74n

gotta love your texture work!

Goober

Oh, that's great Kakiku, really love the colors. What size textures are you working with here, I'd love to see what that looks like out flat. I especially like the color transition on the beak.

EDIT: Why do I feel like I always kick things over to the next page?

uk_resistant

Im not sure if im allowed to post this..but what the heck!
This prop is for my university final major project.
it clocks in at 202 polys and has a 256x256 texture.


cheers

Turoid

Looks cool! maybe you can touch it up a little by painting some shadows and highlights.

uk_resistant

the only shadows that would be visble is under the axe head. There are some baked in but because of the angles you cant seem them.
As for other lighting information it will be going into a game engine so i dont think il need it much, esp as i plan to add normal and specular maps later on.

cheers for your feedback though.

jaalto

Very nice models here

I'm beginner in 3D, but below is one fat skier I recently made.



btw. Does anyone know any good site where I could find texturing tutorials for beginners?

eepberries

It's Yotsuba!




I really regret unwrapping it the way I did. This is probably the first time I've completely skinned a model I've made, so hopefully I'll do a better job of it next time.

Dr_Graevling

So I thought I'd try my hand at this and contribute to this wonderful thread.

Joao Sapiro

wow man nice !!

Emil Mujanovic

Just a character I'm working on during my lunch breaks at work. Sitting at exactly 500 tris. It's been unwrapped and I've got a basic start on the texture.
Will post final when it's done.

using mostly quads will push your count up a bit, try merging some of the verts in areas to bring the count down / supply extra polygons to other areas

Acryl

Hi there, been years since I last posted here. Anyway did this one in 5 hours (modelling, texturing, riggin)



cheers,
Michael

rooster

hey acryl, are you the same acryl as this acryl(o)?

Acryl

THAT is old stuff, geez ... amiga times. Yes that was me once

cheers,
Michael

rooster

awesome! I still have some of your stuff on my hdd migrated over several PCs worth of 'inspiration' folders
old stuff but still cool :]

dur23

Frigin sweet acryl. Yours too Dr_Graevling, I think both of you shoulda tried to squeeze those textures into 128s, but either way, great work.

Japhir

i've been working on a monster like guy.. it weighs 578 polys so it might be to high for this thread, if so please tell me. Still gotta do the uv's and texture. took me about 1 hour total

MisterGoid

Looks like you could save some polies in the tailpuff and ear. That middle ring isn't adding to the form (unless its pulling in or out on the same vector as the camera). You could probably also nix the little toe vertex on the front feet.

That said, I like him. Kinda wish his shoulders were bigger and his hips were a little smaller (think looney toons bulldog taken down a few notches) but over all his proportions are feeling playful. And I like that.

dupikus

hello everyone!
This is James. I made him for the 11th mini challenge
398 tris and 128x128

Por@szek

Great work man, really cool. U can spent a bit more time and animate him. With chainsaw haha

Japhir

i've been working on my beast guy again, now it is officially allowed to be put in the low poly characters thread since the polycount is under 500.

one problem i've been having with maya for a long time now: my scale, move and rotate tool are way too big so i can't scale in one direction or rotate normally. any idea how to make them normal sized again?

tygereye107

Here's some stuff I did for art tests last year. Feedback appreciated.

dupikus and tygereye107, just love these characters...well done.

Slash

nice models tygereye, but read the thread rules again.

Low poly = <500

Arkus

My contribution in this thread:

He has 400 tris and 128x128 texture (diffuse + alpha)





hope you like

MisterGoid

Thats pretty killer, Arkus.

My contribution - self portrait. Ill give the flats once im done with the texture.



And for reference, I dug up the worst picture ever taken of me. I call this the "kid watching the moon landing" shot.

Kovac

Awwweee he's adorable!

Haha adam that has got to be the strangest pictures of you imaginable. Actually, I have stranger now that I think about it.

I'd definitely play with the jeans some more around the kneecap area and bum, but I just love the poly usage on that mesh!

fweezah

Arkus, that dude is awesome!!!
MisterGold, that's pretty sweet, you did a good job!

Arkus

Hej

Glad you like my work here is another character form the series





MisterGoid - I like your character a lot, keep it up

Japhir

woow cool stuff! I like the roman warrior! i always used to read Asterix & Obelix and you totaly have got the right style going on there!

ultra

Arkus: Great work man! love it!
MisterGoid: Great model very cool the tris usage. GL for the rest of the texture, its coming very well too.
Cheers!

Valandar

Arkus: Awesome! Is the polycount for Obelix gonna include the big ol' stone he'd toss? Or will that be a separate object?
