The OP picture does not use sculpt or baking. There's no reason to sculpt a high poly model. Look at the face, look at the outfit. That's not a high poly model baked onto a low poly model. That's hand painted directly. You are retarded if you think someone has to waste 30 hours sculpting for a low poly model like this. Also links you gave are ugly higher poly characters. You clearly don't have much experience doing 3D if you can't see that the OP picture is entirely texture painted.

The fake ambient occlusion looks like it was very quickly added with a soft brush. I think you could replicate those results in about five minutes
I also suspect you could get decent results by texturing the low-poly directly in substance painter. Making an entire sculpt+retopo for that level of detail just seems completely unnecessary

It's faster to texture paint the shadow. If you are telling someone to spend 30 hours sculpting just to convert the high poly to low poly. ALL for the sake of shadows, you clearly are either retarded or don't have any experience at all with making a character. The fact that you been linking the dota shit for 6 years, and you didn't even know you could just paint the shadow is depressing.

Baking AO from 3d information (including painted or noise-driven height/normal details) can give you nice results and it's very easy in Blender. Doesn't require any sculpting, just paint on some bump details (if you want) and bake.
For the style of the OP, it's probably overkill, but for something even slightly less low-fi and stylized it would probably give nicer results.

but in skimming... its like holy shit, he is barely using the program to sculpt, at that point he in all honestly would have been better off getting a base model and then moving over to blender or any other poly modeling program rather than trying to poly model in z brush.

for a model as lowpoly as the one in the op image you definitely do not need to sculpt and remesh and bake etc its very clearly handpainted textures
to remesh it you would be losing so much detail theres literally zero benefit to sculpting and remeshing it all for a baked texture you wont need because op is handpainted
your method would require so much correcting and polymodeling you might as well have just polymodeled it to begin with, massive waste of time

oh, i'm not saying bake anything, I mean its far easier to shape the body with a sculpt and remesh it, nothing to the level of baking, just enough to get a low poly out of it.especially if you suck or if you are going into it with no model reference images, moving around some 'clay' is far easier than unfucking low poly mesh. then you build up the mesh from the sculpt correctly.

looks pretty simple to me, and texturing on it would just be dithering & posterization. shadows & highlights are painted in, but there is rimlight and bearly any shadows being cast so its not 100% flat-ly lit.

unironically just try and recreate the model you posted, fuck off this website, and see what you can do with your eyes. get stuck? look it up on youtube

Because it's not as easy as you think, when you have less polygons, your shape abstraction and style matters more, and most 3d modelers suck at that.

So we went for them because they told us that they made mobile too.
Yes, it was because of the style too, but they never could get the shape right with the low poly density that we needed.
Koreans nailed it at the first time with only a few corrections for the male characters.

Take your reference into blender and try modelling over it. With low poly stuff the textures are what really sell your model. Keep stuff big and readable at a distance, smooth over or simplify the smaller details. Just keep practicing and you will get it

I found a nice trick on YouTube where smaller, complex details like a triggerguard and trigger of a gun can just be a plane and it's all texture from there, so I think i will try that for the microphone

Yea? These are very usable.
>>987650
For designing more characters/background npcs/etc, and concepting in scenes its really more than enough and speeds up development. I use my own sketches as based for shapes, and this lets you see a 3d version of a sketch without needing to model out/texture the whole body/head for the same result. It's ai as a tool, not replacement.

Here is my first character I made recently, don't have alot of time to work on it. Anyone know how to properly rig something like the gas mask tube?

Low poly with hand painted textures is easier only in terms of how much knowledge of the software you need.

Artistically it's just as difficult to get a low poly, hand painted model to look good as it is to get high poly retopo'd PBR textured model to look good.

The reason

As >>983436 said, you don't see many artists still doing low poly hand painted because it's not easy, and it takes along time.

Yeah sure, I believe 30 dollars an hour, but I am unsure of how much was at the end because it's not part of my job, but it was around 2 months of work for the playable characters and humanoid monsters, the rest of the models were made in house.

Thanks that helps a lot! I want to make a small scope game and pondering whether it would be better to have some models just done by someone else instead of spending 4-6 months doing it myself.

If the models are not based on an specific design I recommend buying assets and modified them, it's more cheap that way.
We didn't had that option at the time.

not OP but how do you rig a model (in blender)? Like designate which parts move and how? Any good videos/tutorials?

Making the model seems straightforward enough but I don’t want to spend 12 hours making a model only to learn that I fucked up and have to restart it because I was using the wrong settings or something

Don't worry, not only will no one accuse you of being OP, but you also don't have to think too hard about the model itself. The major problem areas will be the bending points, but if you're going low-poly then the arm clipping into itself is not that big a deal. Here's a tutorial series about using rigify in various ways, but doing it manually doesn't take very long and might be a nice exercise, and don't forget that you can always reload a save and try again if there is a major problem in your model

Some programs let you paint directly onto models which in turn paints onto the UVs.

tried making a model following the MML3 method, i guess it does help making the head have a more anime silhouette and gives okayish shadows if you´re gonna use lighting. didn´t like my initial attempt at texturing, might repost if i try again with better unwrapping and something higher than 256x256

If the model is only meant to be displayed as unlit you can pretty much paint it like a 2d artist, the end result is mostly the same save for a bit of skewing. I agree it's cool though, kinda wish it had been done more historically instead of insisting on lighting models that had nowhere near the geometry for it with shaders unable to achieve an aesthetic result.

got, I wish someone extracted the models from monster hunter, especially the armors... probably the best example of relatively low poly "medieval" fantasy armor we have.

Translucent textures were so common on sony consoles, and I really don't know what you mean by the backpack, the straps are textures on the man and then you have a backpack.

I recommend taking your favorite character/your OC and attempting the 256 challenge. It might take weeks to figure out, but you will learn a lot about optimization and cutting corners without sacrificing detail. As a noob and as a personal project, you don't need to meet the requirements, but you should be googling every single problem you run into to see if/how others solved it.

Anonymous at Fri, 23 Aug 2024 02:01:22 UTC No. 992645

I've been going mental thinking about how I can cut in better topology to round it out here and there. It's a Kemono Friends Shoebill, so those extra bits are very important. Hopefully someone either sees something I don't, or I'm chasing ghosts.

That's my bad, shouldn't have typed that up so fast.
I figured out how to round off the legs and arms well enough, but because I plan on using this for animation and tracking, I want those joints and separate hands, which is costing me a handful of tris. My issue right now is the torso area, I'm worried it looks too blocky compared to everything around it, but I also don't have any room left to add detail.
The texture is a simple suit and tie.
