I've never tried it, but I guess it should be pretty easy in a shader.
You could specify that colors (or values) in a certain range should be achieved by dithering, and determine the dither colors based on screen-space coordinates accessed in the fragment shader. For alternate effects you could dither in uv space or in world space based on the normal, etc. etc.

The pattern itself is called dithering or ordered dithering when it's in a checkerboard pattern. The way it's used in the image above is similar to how Super FX titles like Star Fox used dithering as an early way of giving faces lighting without going over the color count. although in this case it's used for faux 3D transparency rather than color. I use dithering in a lot of my pixel art work, picrel only uses 3 colors. I've found for flat textures places like https://doodad.dev/dither-me-this/
work pretty well. >>960192 might have a better answer for making the render work similarly to the SNES.

Blockbench(Free) and Crocotile(Not free) are both good, easy to pick up options, especially when it comes to texturing. There is also an option of using Aseprite + Blender + plugin that connects the two called Pribambase (allows you to draw textures in aseprite and autoupdate them in blender in realtime, project UVs to aseprite, etc). While its not as convenient as using a single program and requires a bit of setup, the benefits of having both blender's and aseprite's features definetely make up for it.
if you decide to give it a go, these 2 vids will get you started with the tools:

Yeah, people absolutely do make things other than MC models in blockbench. See picrel. But If you're talkin about using said models for games, then i doubt many people use blockbench.
Using either is fine. Blockbench was literally built for this style, so its naturally easier to get into, but modeling lowpoly doesn't require much technical skills, so with some practice blender will be just as easy to handle as blockbench. Blender however does come with more tools you might wanna use later (material editor, compositing, more in-depth rigging and animation tools, etc).
if you feel like you'll just be making your lil models with handpainted textures and simple animations for them, then blockbench will do just fine, otherwise i'd stick with blender.
Anonymous at Thu, 19 Oct 2023 18:57:11 UTC No. 961687
The Blockbench Discord is very active, lots of models posted every day. The blocky Minecraft style can be a bit hit or miss for me, I prefer more of a solid mesh, but there are people good at both styles. The Crocotile Discord is less active but there are good artists there too.

Looks like 256x256 and he paints on the model in Blockbench for the most part. Also sounds like the UV process is no better than Crocotile. Crocotile has been fun as a total 3D noob but I get burnt out fiddling with UVs. Going to have to try Blender next I guess.

Everything. I never really tried it. I don't know what I don't know. But I get the sense that there are more UV tools - various projection options, and UV mapping plugins to automate the process. Might also be nice to experiment with bashing meshes together and/or sculpting, not worrying at all about mesh integrity, just focusing on design. Then retopo to a clean mesh. Then worry about getting a pixel perfect texture.
Though I guess with the pixel art texture style there might always be some level of fidgeting with UVs by hand. One guy's Blender process: https://sketchfab.com/blogs/communi

I am one of those people who are stuck in tutorial hell, I know a lot of things but I hardly do anything.
If you would like to learn something specific tell me, and maybe I can explain it to you.
I think that for low poly models it is better to order the UVs manually.

Sorry but is not true, just paint everything is ok for a static mesh,
For a character as low poly as 256 tris you are forgetting the siluette, which is not as simple with that small amount of tris, also deformations, I have worked with a lot of modelers, and their low poly shirt sucks, because of deformations, you can try to make something like Megan legends, with separate meshes, but this usually consumes more polygons than a single mesh.
Anons usually say that low poly is simple, but they end up doing boxes with more tris than a mid poly character

truth be told I kinda didn't. it's actually got alot of areas that aren't totally matched texel wise, but with how I disguised the seams it doesn't really matter that much.
There's not really an easy way to keep the density in certain spots, such as the shoulder and back ended up much lower resolution, the legs and hands ended up higher, etc.
For the most part she's a mess, even if the UVs are very clean.
(she's split into multiple textures and I still have space on this one to add some extras to her.)

That's... certainly an interesting comparison. I can't say I really see it.
She is meant to look a bit uncanny though. Here's an alternate skin.

I'm not really close to hitting a hard triangle limit, but she's already arguably too detailed for Quake and nothing else in the game has thumbs.

Can you give some tips on using blender's texture painter for this kind of thing and how you generally go about it? Did you do the entire thing in those 3D painters and did you need to manually edit the UVs or did Unwrap do most of the work?

>Can you give some tips on using blender's texture painter for this kind of thing
Sure. So going into these sorts of models, I always try to conserve as much UV space as possible for the most important elements of the character. This means doing two things:
1. Mirroring whatever I can
2. Having a palette somewhere on the texture map so I can map islands that are a single color (benefits of going with a toon/anime style)
I was a bit lazy with Zakuro because of how simple her design is so I didn't do too much of the latter but this is what the process looks like. The texture in pic related illustrates the idea pretty decently.
With the UV mapping in particular, what I do is I mark seams as usual. Then, using UVPackmaster2, pack all of my islands with a decent amount of margin. I do this in order to make sure the islands aren't overlapping with one another if I were to use the fill/brush tools.
With the result I'm given, I then go in and manually scale the UV islands up or down to denote which areas of the character are more important than others. I then pack one more time for the final result.
I don't do anything special to make sure the UV map is pixel perfect or pixel aligned as the slight distortion you get by doing it normally really isn't a huge deal. Most people won't notice.
(1/2)
>Did you do the entire thing in those 3D painters
Yes except for the eye area and the stripes on her stockings. Was way quicker to do those in Photoshop.

Some general texture painting tips for pixel art as I hadn't done this prior to August. There's probably some stuff I'm forgetting so I might return to this post.
>fill tool is your best friend. use it to block in flats before going in with brush
>make sure to disable anti-aliasing on brush in texture paint mode as it's enabled by default. it's under advanced in the left window
>change brush falloff to constant
>use the color palette to quickly switch between different colors in the moment, this is a lifesaver
>the line stroke method is very handy in helping you block in shadows which you can then clean up afterwards using the default brush stroke method (space) set to erase (so the base skin color in this case). would definitely recommend giving it a shot
>if you're working with alphas like i am, you can use erase alpha to make parts of your texture map transparent

Overall, it looks manly and psychopathic - even beyond whatever odd kind of stylization that's meant to be. Maybe the psychopathy is intentional, but I'm gonna assume you didn't mean to make a tranny.
Mouth shape looks outright dumb, and I have no idea what emotion that expression is meant to convey. Lips would probably look better a pixel thicker and not as long.
Nose could probably get a tiny bit closer to the mouth, and have shading and/or polygons to indicate the shape of the dorsum and curve into the bridge... Unless this is supposed to be some kind of anime character, which I'm not sure has been conveyed well in shading.
Eyes have too much white compared to the iris. Shape is also odd.
The whole head could be narrowed a bit. Pinch the neck at the top to match.
That's all varying degrees of subjective of course, but I'm being so critical because you have one of the higher-effort models/textures in this thread and there's just a lot of little things gnawing away at it and making it look like some cringe DeviantArt OC donut steel.
Might not be so helpful here since that's a pretty complete model, but I find it useful to envision a character in a more realistic form before stylizing it. Helps to avoid dipping into the uncanny valley.

I... uh, wow. that's certainly alot of... whatever that is.
I feel like you'd like the other female major character better, she has a very different look.
The point was to make them look very different from each other, because before Strega had a much more 'normal' head shape that could have blended in with Riho, despite there being a significant height difference between them. Making Strega's head goofier, less sharp, and more expressive was part of that, and her mouth is explicitly meant to feel 'off'. comparative to other characters.
Also, the eyes specifically have a controller for making the iris bigger and smaller. I just chose the small for this render because it looks fun for this shot.
tl;dr,I really don't get the "tranny" comments at all. Maybe you shouldn't be so obsessed with bio-truths and realize character design can do more.

Would love to see someone do a walkthrough of how something like this is made. In particular the coloring/shadow side. I know it might be using vertex colors, but also possible texture baking as well. But just the whole process of those things to get this aesthetic.

I think the color palette on her body suit needs more going on. Maybe some additional orange, or some of blue panels need to be lighter or closer to a grey to break it up more. That's my main complaint but it seems fully realized otherwise, so good job

Awesome. Are you painting the textures via just uv unpacking and then in photoshop, or are you actually using something like substance painter to paint directly on model?

it's a mix of both, I generally go to substance painter first then do cleanups / adjustments in photoshop.

Have a question about the lighting here.
I think the scene is set to unlit, but so what he does here is make a copy of chair/fireplace/curtains textures, paints them orange, then in unreal that texture is applied over first texture somehow and then he somehow draws a mask of where he wants light to show up (not sure if this is done in engine or in UV of alpha channel of the models)
for light to appear only in those areas?

Anyone using Amplify Shader Editor and knowing how to get per-materials Keywords working?
In shadergraph you could just declare a keyword like it was a basic boolean input, and use that to actually toggle portions of code ON/OFF in each material instead of having to copy-paste your shader 40 times with minor variations.

Short answer: it doesn't.
Long Answer: Blockbench is a toy. It makes itself obtuse for making any kind of arbitrary mesh shapes and anything more than slapping a bunch of primitives around.
There may be people using it for serious development. This is almost entirely because they're used to the program and it's limitations. Do not use it for serious development under any circumstances.
If you want something meant for level/worldspace geometry, use Trenchbroom. For anything else, use Blender/Maya/Max. You will have absurdly more control over animation, deformation, UVmapping, and just about anything.
Anonymous at Sat, 25 Nov 2023 22:39:30 UTC No. 965358
>>965357
(Note: Trenchbroom is a suggestion for low poly level/worlds and it's explicitly designed for that. you can use it for more defined things if you want, but get used to the idea of shoving them into Quake's BSP Compiler or manually optimizing the work you do within it. It absolutely can be used for serious development and does get used for it.)

I mean this in a very general, out of curiosity way because I've barely dabbled in Blender so I don't need an in-depth answer - But when you do the pixel art that ends up on the 3D model, how do you know how big and what shape to make the pixels, and where they will end up in the end?
Anonymous at Mon, 27 Nov 2023 18:32:33 UTC No. 965469
>>965466
Vertices have six dimensions, UV, W, XYZ.
The UVs are a two-dimensional pair. You arrange all the vertices' UV coordinates however you like, and then associate a texture with a material.
When triangles are being rasterized, for each fragment the renderer samples the material's texture at the fragment's corresponding position in UV space, which is found by interpolating between the triangle's vertices. If you overlay a map of the UV coordinates (the UV map) over an image texture, you'll see that what's drawn onto a triangle in XYZ space maps to what the same triangle covers in UV space.
You rearrange the geometry in two-dimensional space and then draw a texture that aligns with the geometry in the way you want it to.
This is not an in-depth explanation.

UV = mapping the pixels. So if you make the UV look about the same shape as the polygons you have, it'll make the texture look 1:1. And you move it around wherever you need the texture. If you see some of those folded out texture files, imagine that they physically fold the model out to fit it - those are the UVs.

>Quake's BSP Compiler
I'd recommend the Quake 3 map format via q3bsp2. A compiled Quake 1 map is split into a fuckload of extra triangles (for the more primitive collision in the game I guess?) while Quake 3 just uses the existing textured faces.

You usually unwrap the model before painting a texture. Unwrapping is basically assigning every polygon it's space on a texture. Thats how you know where to paint your pixels
How big you make your pixels is up to you.

Toss a couple bones in there and see how it deforms.
Edges that are oblique to the (rotation) transform axis compress and stretch a lot worse than ones that are orthogonal.

really depends on what kinda model you want to make and how low you wanna go with your polys
My advice is just go to https://www.models-resource.com select one of the older/portable consoles and look for something that catches your eye
Some favs of mine:
Radiata Stories, Power stone 2, FF3, FF4, Bravely default/second, DS/3DS pokemon games all have really cool stylised anime characters and cute silly creatures
MGS, MGS Peace walker, Alien Resurrection, Lost planet 1 for military/scifi stuff
Among (relatively) new games there are things like Friends vs Friends, Due process, Starmancer, No sun to worship, Bomb rush cyberfunk, Fortune's Run and STRAFE

Blender if you want lowpoly specifically you'll need version 2.79 because they broke the paintbrush behavior and painting lowpoly textures has been a pain in the ass ever since.

Yeah makes sense but the core of the issue is that I don't know if I even like 3d modelling and I want try it out in the less painful way possible. I've had this itch for several months of "What would my OCs look like in a video game" and I'm sure I'll lose interest after I see how ugly they end up.
Blender just looks like it has a steeper learning curve while I imagine on blockbench I can get what I want in less time.
