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

You will find the sweet ass concept HERE
Painted by the very talented Mr. Mcotie




He weighs in at 350 polys on the dot.

The zombie-ghost-pirate LeChuck! I love it! Good rendition too. Is that a 128 skin, or a 256?

KDR_11k

That Pacman looks like something I'd expect to see in a C64 game...

Valandar

It's like 'Pacman Meets R-Type'...

Ferg

All done, unless someone comes with a good crit. Perhaps a Guybrush next? Perhaps.

YAY ferg, awesome!

Here is my favorite ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, wearing the classic costume from the Xbox game.

LPR is great exercize and fun!

yeah i lost radd spencer on hd, so... here have rikuo in 350 tri!

Toomas

CA optimize the hands, they are like what, 45tris each?

Slaught

345 Tris 1x128² Texture

Sadner

Rayman, my hero :P

KdS

cool Rayman hehe :P

With the actual detail I think a 128 map renders the same did you try?

nkoste

Ripley with wires.

ok i rule

hawken

cheapy that is wicked! I always hated this fishy bastard, with his cheap gas / ink attack.

Surgey

Nice! You should do the Demon-Zombie-Ghost pirate LeChuck next.

skankerzero

Hey Cheap, that's really nice.

Try a gargy in that style.

Don't encurage him

I was happy he finally did something different.
That seaman is quite nice btw.

Eclipse

Not quite done, but close enough, just the back of the shield and a little tweaking probably...crits?

KDR_11k

Looking great, it's very hard to see that he's really lower poly than the GC version.

HonkyPunch

I love nothing more than the look of a well done low-poly model...that's why i play Half life 2 with the lod levels set to six and texture filtering off...
It just looks so...so awesome.

Slaught: Haven't seen Manny Calvera for along time. I'm getting all nostalgic for some grim fandango. Awesome man.

Valandar

Heh, love the off-center belt on the chick. Emphasizes her "womanly" hips.

hawken

Erik, there's no real rules for this thread, but that stuff doesn't look low poly. Try the "so what are you working on?" thread if you want to post but not start a new thread.

I'd say the upper polygon limit for this thread would be around 500 polygons.

Oops! I didn't realize that you were shooting to "ultra" low poly. You're right, those characters are between 1,000 - 2,000 polys apiece. Here are some 400-500 poly characters:

character

sweet! thanks for sharing these. do you have any closeups? they sure seem to have alot of detail. what size are the texture maps?

conte

Dragonshard is suxx, sorry. But models is nice.

Joao Sapiro

now thats not lowpoly is it i mean it seems low poly, but the triangle count i sure bet it isnt

Valandar

Just a wild guess, but counting triangles and not quads, it looks in the 8k-12k range...

rooster

aagh poly abuse.. someone call RSPCP!

hawken

some people just don't get it

Corry Frydlewicz

No... it's 1900 quads... Which would mean 3800 tri's

I was going for low-poly for current gen, my bad

jec1183

I don't know I think I would have to have that model selected with polycount on to believe you because it looks to be way over 1900 quads and well above 3800 tris.

Corry Frydlewicz

I've posted it in a new topic. I'll get the count on there for my next update ^^

Sorry for screwing up the rules in here

My very first character model so a couple of years old. He's an RTS unit. Ultra low specs of course. 320 tri and 128.

LOL, Aussie humour! I love it!
This thread has some seriously wicked models. Currently doing some lo-poly heads which I'll post once they're done.

Very inspirational thread, it's inspired me to create this. Hope you like it

steady

haha i like it, reminds me of my boss!
nice job on the texture, those joints would definitely be a problem animating though

Archanex

Thanks for the feedback steady, I reworked him a little to allow for slightly better deformations, still only 500 tris though
