Great, you should work on the siluette, and the colours, that character is not readable at all.
Start blocking colours, if you are bad picking them use a colour palette of the internet, fix a little bit the siluette and then paint some shadows so the cape does not look like part of the body

You need to learn actual art fundamentals. Grinding a 3D program without knowing why certain things look good and certain things look like trash isn't going to help you

I hope you at least also acquired a lot of technical skills in the use of the tools

i think i did?
i know how to rig stuff
i understand how UV unwraping works
i know some things about geometry nodes and shading
im familiar with the tools blender has
i can do simple animations
and i try to do good topology
i know some of the shortcuts
and i understand most of the modifiers and their uses
i know how to bake textures

sometimes i forget blender open while i do other things so a couple of those hours are from AFK
did i just waste all my time?

none of that is art fundamentals, that's just the program. That stuff is the 3d equivalent of learning all the different types of paper and how different pencils and chalk and charcoal behave on them.

You need to learn to actually draw, which is 50x more difficult.

If you are inspired by the good looking video game models of the past then 70% of their appeal is hand painted textures. The rest is mostly silhouette.

Sorry to tell you but you made an absolute mistake. You can add as many n-gons as you want as long as it doesn't deform in a bad way

Strict quad requirements depends on what you're trying to do and what the finish product should be

If you're doing lowpoly, sculpting or 3D printing. quads don't matter.

Quads matter the most when you're subdividing. What you really need to worry about are poles, vertices where only three or more than four edges are connected to them. Those bastards deforms your model even if your model is all quads.

If your model is a hard surface that has no organic deformations n-gons are okay if it looks good but that only really occurs on flat surfaces.

If it's organic and will be animated, try to keep quads at least 99.9% if possible. Shit topology is noticeable once the mesh deforms.

Tris aren't that bad and there are situations where they're the best choice. They are eventually converted into quads when subdivided anyways, it's just that there's a chance that could end up with a bad pole. Put tris in inconspicuous areas.

Your problem is you lack understanding of color theory enough to understand that BRIGHT BLUE, and BRIGHT YELLOW, and BRIGHT GREEN are not good color choices because they look unnatural. Also a completely unsaturated grey next to a brightly saturated BLUE looks like shit, like there would be a tinge of blue in that grey. Now if you were to follow my advice and add a tinge it would be either TOO MUCH BLUE or so little that you can barely tell the difference because this is what newbies to color do. They lack the confidence to push colors and rely heavily on using BRIGHT SATURATED PRIMARY colors because they lack subtlety.

tldr, just steal a color pallet from a generator or a website for now or learn to paint and develop your eye.

You can do it, you're just a little baby boy that needs to grow a bit more through practice.

I've been waffling on getting started. I fully understand at some point I need to just take the plunge and use it. My biggest interest is low-poly psx style graphics, they seem approachable and I really like the look.

My only question is if I should start learning by doing studies on ps1 games I like and using general guides and tutorials to learn how to use the program, or if I would be better served by taking the doughnut tutorial and learning to use blender for more modern style stuff before trying to go for a specific look?

That anon is being an elitist retard and went straight into shitting on you instead of understanding the context that this was done by a beginner to feel good about themselves without even specifying what's wrong.

Real talk, good UV unwrap can matter for pixel art. Most of the time it's to align the edges parallel to the pixels. In your case, it's good enough since it's not that distracting except for autists.

Anonymous at Thu, 8 Feb 2024 18:33:28 UTC No. 973384

>>973315
thanks for the feedback. I understand that proper uv unwrapping is crucial on pixel art. I find it most problematic when theres half or quarter pixels on the edge of a face that aligns with the pixel orientation.
in the case of straight up diagonal wrapping it doesn't bother me as much and it was more of a design choice in this case.

I unfortunately didn't finish the game this was made for in time. setting up networking, terrain generation, physics and bone animations in just a few weeks was a little much. but maybe I'll use the assets in a new implementation of the same or a different game using godot or something.

if I make more models in the future I'll make sure to have some diagonal pixels on all of them. can't hurt to ruin the day of someone like that dude.

you are doing fine, low-poly+pixel art is quite hard tho.
Some idiots will pretend it is possible to have pixel perfect drawing on your geometry, but it is not.
no matter how hard you try, you will eng up with cut in half pixels or pixel distortion.

if you make low-poly with very small texture going for a sharp style (closest filter, no blur on the texture you WILL end up with pixel deformation and half pixels.

the only way around that is to restrict your geometry to cubes minecraft style, in that case only, it is possible to be pixel perfect.

there are some tricks you could use however.
i tend to use black contour line in my pixel art, especially if i know it will go on some non-cubic and non character object. that way i can use the black contour line to blend the little issues (ex A,B)

If i want to work with specific material i have a little bonus trick for you, you can add geometry by cutting loopcuts following your pixels shapes and then extruding, its the best way i found to have pixel art with extra depth.

Can anyone ITT help me out with a proper best workflow (not cris btw) on turning high poly assets to low poly? I am not necissarily looking to preserve details. I want the psx/dreamcast look but I am a poorfag so I am looking at all these awesome kitbash things some chad yesdev shared with me, I saw these before but the ones I saw where all soulless TESlike slop. Finally seen some good fantasy ones. I want to decimate them so they look low poly and and properly reduce their textures into sprite like stuff. This may be a pointless task and it may be smarter to buy someones services to make copy cats or something but to be honest I dont have that kind of dough yet.

Even if none of them end up usable, they only have to look halfway decent. All of them will be items and environments, not players or mobs.

Unlike cris I dont think it's fair to talk about workflow without giving some kind of mile marker for what I'm hoping for; When importing your rig to game dev engines I use gamerig tools which is a bunch of scripts for making sure the rigify rig my modeler I use exports well to unreal. I'm hoping for something like this, a plugin script or process that will help just clean up a bit after using the decimate values, ways to reduce the texture resolution for the best effect if you have any. or even just color them automatically for re-texturing based on the trim sheet

If you know of any life saving tools like gamerigtools or just some simple tips that might help me do this that would be great.

I want to make a low poly model with huge fuckin tits but have no idea how to go about it. Any tips?

same, follow this tutorial

At the end it goes in into specifically making breasts. You could easily change it up into making them bigger

I use high poly but low detailed objects baked into low poly final objects just to have the lighting details baked so I can add details manually in photoshop just to match a certain game's artstyle

If you have the hipoly done it might be easier for you but dunno I kinda stumbled on my workflow if you can call it that

Can you post the high poly version or post your work in a high poly version vs low poly? I want to see the way it works on more complicated non human objects like that truck you posted. Many tutorials on YouTube are about preserving the HD look and not about making it seem retro. However this is closer to the mark. I won't be able to know without seeing where the details level started. These kit bashes are a little pricey.

this is just catching overall light for a 256x256 texture then I fill simple details in photoshop using bevel effects etc
you can let the baking-into object catch multiple objects too so you could add windows etc & add these objects in projection modifier but that's not worth it for what I do

Can you tell me how you decimate this? Do you just use built in functions? Is it that easy? Truthfully I was hoping to see something more complicated than this though like a building or other thing that has multiple geometries.

Anonymous at Sun, 17 Mar 2024 16:19:30 UTC No. 977993

>>977955
I only worked on what you see of geometric complexity
apply UVWunwrap to multiple objects
break faces & weld then offset symmetric faces to +1 U or V units away to save space
keep contingent faces weld to simplify texture continuity post edits in photoshop (base baked texture has continuity anyway so that helps preserving texture continuity)

umm. I dont know if I'm being too autistic to be understood but
I am not really all that interested in changing the UV mappings too much I just want the object to be less high poly. I dont want to bake lighting.

Is the base decimate really that effective? I got the impression that it wasn't ever going to give usable results with a low poly look like >>977727
if you fed it a high quality one. dont you have to define certain constraints or is it that smart?

if you change geometry you change the uvw

I'm not expecting anything anon, I am a total beginner here so when you gloss over things I dont understand what I missed, only that something was probably glossed over
So you DO use decimate and then manually go in and fix each model am I hearing you right? that's why you get outputs that look like this >>977727
If that's the only way to do it I guess I'll have to either take some blender courses or work overtime and let my experienced modeler tackle the problem. probably the latter because even if I did do the former I'd want access to their work advice in detail instead of continuing to pester you.

Am I on the money for how this is done?

i see, so you use 3dsmax. Well I'll head over there too I guess, maybe someone will know but I figured I'd try the low poly thread first. thanks for all the help so far anon

is it possible to make such textures in blender with painting? or do you need to make them in another program like krita or ps?
