Hello

Low poly challenge 2 is for the DS. (specs for the DS can be found here)

This is a snack sized challenge and you may enter multiple times. The challenge is to make gift items for animal crossing. The item may be anything you desire. Based on the animal crossing grid

RULES:

1. your item may take up one to four grid spaces
2. the way you submit your item must be via viewport grab only
3. each item has a polygon limit of 128 polygons per grid space
4. each item has a texture limit of 32kb per per grid space. this is the saved size as .png, so your texture could be 128x32 @ 16 colours, etc.


This is an exercise in pixel based texturing and colour reduction. Along with reduced detailing.

Some examples of animal crossing items and the grid that is used in the game:

In the above image we can see that the bottom left item is taking up 1 space, while the center item is taking up 4 spaces on the grid.

This might not be a challenge for the faint hearted, due to the low poly restrictions, however these items should be quick to make and quite wonderful to look at (in that pixely low poly goodness way)
