Hi! My first post here. I'm a hobbyist game developer, I do programming, music and art. I've been experimenting with low poly pixel art recently. Here's a Halloween themed one:
Low Poly chemical vat from the Sonic Chemical Plant zone. I always thought these looked super cute in the background of that zone and would suit a low poly model.
Hey guys! First post here. This is for a school project I'm currently working on. I'm designing a Magical Plant Store. I'll be uploading more as I finish more props.
@1stAnd10 : Looks like you are counting quads, not tris. 1000 tris is not enough to model a character with full five-fingered hands and 8-sided limbs with a fair amount of gridding on them. More likely, you'd end up with 6-sided limbs and the middle finger, ring finger and pinky finger merged into a single box with only the forefinger and thumb separated.
That's a cool lookin Sonic you got there Marmita This is my first post too :d
I'm (almost) completely new to 3d modelling, but I want to get better at it, so today I made this low poly pick up truck Ugly as hell, but I still like it Constructive critisism is more than welcome. (I found the UV unwrapping part the most difficult. Anyone know of some good tutorials out there?)
Hi there! It's my (WIP) female character for indie game called "world_null". If interested u can see more info about our project here > indie-games.rocks
Hey there, folks. I recently started working on my modeling skills. I've been making pixel art for games for the past 5 years. I really like the low poly + pixel art texture look so I started working on that with some simple geometry. Still struggling with UV distortion, but here's what I achieved so far. Any tips?

Hi, victor_fl. You've been doing pixel art for the past 5 years? That's crazy cool! I've been doing art for the past few years, and have tried doing different styles. Actually, your low poly model is coming along well. However, I do think that you could use less texture space for the top of the mushroom. There's a lot of unnecessary repetition in the texture. Same could be done for the face, there's a lot of tan - you could squash the faces to the left... Unless you plan to do extra shading or other details that need to be there.
For the most part, it isn't a bad start - and again... It's coming along well. Maybe you can improve it and re-post your progress?

Sorry for the late reply! I'm currently working on modeling more organic stuff and also learning how to translate cool pixel art textures into a nice render. I completely agree with everything you pointed out and I might make another mushroom soon.
I'm impressed by the quality of this cute little mushroom ! Your pixel art textures are great !
Thanks a lot, Lysaena! I've been honing my pixel art skills for some time. I hope I can put them to good use.
In the meantime, here's one of my attempts to make a nice pixel art render in a 3D space. I call it "ImpossiBox". (but it was actually quite easy to layout the UVs!) I feel like I'm getting close to the render quality I want, but I'm realizing it requires a lot of planning in the modeling phase. I'll keep working hard on that.
Started and finished this one today, from concept to texturing! 952 Triangles! Here's the Sketchfab in case anyone wants to look at it in 3D/take a peek at the texture map or triangle count etc!
Hi there guys! I'm going to school for Game Art and my 3D animation professor wants us to upload finished projects for outside critique here. I have a background in more physical media/art so this was the first 3D model I spent any serious time doing and I had a really good time with it! I found the whole experience very relaxing. We were tasked with modeling a chest and this was my result My final poly count clocked in at 920. I know it's slightly rough around the edges but any feedback is more than welcome. Thanks!

Hi there, spncrbghmn!
I hope that someday I can work on making art for video games as a job - very cool that you are already well on your way. That's great that your professor says to post your projects outside of class for critique; gives a taste of the real world. I believe that your model is good for the most part, but I can see some excessive amounts of triangles where they ought not to be used - unless you have a texture that repeats itself or needs to be flipped. Depending on the style of your overall game that you plan to make, the direction of the chest could be completely different. This looks like it is going to be meant for more of a high poly game. You could easily make the same chest at below 500 triangles and have it still retain the same amount of detail. I hope this helps.
I don't know if this counts as low poly but the polycount is 939 so... here is a low poly version of a Rubik's cube for an asset pack I have been working on:
Wireframe:
This is still WIP, its not completed but this is what i have gotten so far.
Chest I made in 3dsMax for my 3D-Animation class. The look I was going for was on the left. I have a cap on how many polys I'm allowed to use, 1000. What are your thoughts on it? This is only the second model I've done on my own, go easy on me ^^
@msaab, looks good, but I'd run a FFD or a Taper-style deformation on the whole mesh to add a little of the character to the chest that's in the concept art.
hi there guys, I'm working on modeling c4 and i think everything has gone according to plan but my wires could be a little bit more efficient, does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey all, i am also working on a chest for my Intro to 3D class with my pal spencer here and this is what i got!

Low poly rock walls i made for an environment I'm working on, i tried to make them all as low poly as i could, each rock has less than 700 polys,
Here's a sketchfab and a render for you guys to see ! what do you guys think ?

This was my first attempt at texturing in class! Any feedback is appreciated!
First texture in my intro to 3D Class! feedback appreciated.
Hey guys I textured a low poly car ,would really appreciate some feedback!
Practice texturing a model. Model by Prof. Texture by me.
Practice texturing a model. need some feedback.
Textured this model of a cartoon-style car. Appreciate any feedback!

Hey guys, modeling a dumpster and would appreciate some feedback! (995 polys)
