Kinda just to understand how Blender works, and possibly get something decent looking out of it. Instead of going all out on detailed renders, I thought it might be best to just start simple, not trying to emulate any console in particular, just working with the low poly style.

Yep, just testing out the add-on using Sprytile's tutorial pixel art texture. Mostly doing so to figure out how Blender works before going all in on pixel art tiles (although I already have quite a bit or practice on the pixel art end). I've been using Solidworks for most of my modeling career, so texture mapping and lighting are skills I'm looking to get better at.

That looks like cardboard. "Pixel art" only works when you're looking at it through a CRT screen where the pixels get blended together into a smooth image. This sort of minecraft style of intentionally blocky texturing only works in minecraft because the whole fucking world is made out of blocks.

Fuck off. Pixel art is a art form, there's nothing wrong with looking at squares as a form of style. Literally the same can be said about actual voxel games where every form of geometry is represented as a "3D Pixel" in resolution.

Just go to a school to learn 3D. Artists have no obligation to teach anything and unless they happen to have become some sort of a youtube personality who makes a ton of money from tutorials, there's no incentive. It's also impossible to just casually explain the process to anyone because it has a lot of layers and a long learning curve.

What is the proper way to get UV unwrap consistent pixel sizes like OP's picture?
Every time I try making a low poly pixelated model myself I end up with wildly inconsistent pixel sizes.
I also have a real hard time 'straightening' UVs while keeping their size and proportions.
Take a look at my picture, the belly area unintentionally ended up way more high-res than the face, for example.
I am using blender.
