LOW-POLY ART
polycounter lvl 19
This is the sweet spot for your low-poly models. Post 'em if you've got 'em!
Low-poly hasn't really been a requirement in the games industry for a long while now. This thread is for low-poly art style appreciation, so please take note of these rough guidelines:

Low-poly hasn't really been a requirement in the games industry for a long while now. This thread is for low-poly art style appreciation, so please take note of these rough guidelines:
- Keep models under 1,000 triangles.
- Scenes are fine, if all models are low poly.

hopefully i can learn how to alpha texutre some grass. tank texture is actually 256x256. But those tanks are very low poly, and only there for cosmetic looks.
They are less that 100 poly
meanwhile the player tanks will be around 800 poly.
Check out last techmologies like Messenger or Skype for that
Sama.van - I would so gladly pay for a DS RPG game designed by you. The artwork is really, really impressive with such small specs and I bet if you crafted some scenes to go with them it would be sex. Make it so and you have a sale from me
Also, thanks for the mini tutorial. Would be great if you'd record a vid while painting sometime too
Im going to attempt the impossible and give you some advice. Whether you take it is up to you.
Here goes...
Start your own thread. Post your images. Listen to people and learn.
If you are having a problem with a specific technique, program, or texturing/modelling theory we will help you if you listen. Theres a lot of inconsitencies with your images and things which need attention but the waywo thread isn't the place to clog up with long winded explanations so i will wait to see your thread pop up in the wip section.
Excellent work and a great insight into your workflow.
Your hanger scene shows commitment and dedication, but by acting like a dickhead you don't make people feel like giving you constructive criticism. And no, this scene is not bad because you used wings to do it. It has mistakes that are independent on the program you created it in.
I would say, post that little bunker building again (and don't pollute a quality, inspiring head with bad model jokes like the cigarette). If you listen carefully to what people have to say, post your reference, and learn from that, you will be happy. If you don't, you might be stuck at being an angry little poster...
good luck
Hey, A critique that is actually valid. I will do that sir. Thanks:thumbup: Just need to scale the model down
So with that inspiration, here's something I came up with:
Comments much appreciated!
No offense, but this is my favorite thread and it's getting dumped on makes me sad.
Edit: crap, I just woke up and it looked like this was still ongoing when I posted, but now I realize that the guy hasn't posted since yesterday. Now I'm just adding to the poopy smell. I will model something to put here instead now.
Edit 2:
there.
104 tris + 64² texture
It's a box, it's 12 tris and a 16x16 color map.
Now get back to working on awesome stuff guys!
Also, here is a generic little well I made...
496 tris,
with a 512 texture
176 tris
That looks alot like wings? make sure to check off the "Draw Anti-Aliased edges. found in preference
And I don't use anti-aliasing because my computer is pretty rubbish and struggles with models of higher polycounts.
ahh okay hehe. I couldnt tell the difference becuase I am so use to seeing the pixels of edges.
HA HA! That's built into Max 2009. (maybe 2k8 too?)
Maybe my too bad english.... no body will understand
- Smirnoffka : yes, Facial animation. This will come later... I actually work all the chracter's body ^_^.
- odium : This is not for a DS game but thank you! Hope you'll come play when the game will be released in few monthes... I hope!
- PolyHertz : Hmm sorry, creating a movies will give to me some stress
- frubes : Thanks! yes with workflow it's so easy!! the most difficult is to find diffirent ideas of clth for each version
- All Other : Please learn to don't answer to stupid guys. It will help to keep a cool 500 poly thread. (actually 3 last page turn arround a discussion of shit !!! Seriously guys!!! Are you Polycounter???? Piorinet ... no... T_T....)
Or if you have shit to say arround, please add a low poly mesh with ^_^.. isn't it??
please make this your new icon from now on, best crate EVER!
Thats the new nav tools in max 2009 onwards. Think its called the viewcube and Steering wheel. To be honest, i find them more of a hinderance than a help.
Make a short segment that has the top, bottom, and 1 tile's worth in the middle.
Are you using 3 polys on the front and 3 polys on the back if so why not just make them two sided planes instead i know you can do that in blender but it would be good to find out how in your program it'll save on polys
I mainly focused on good animations and good textures
I want as much C&C as I can get!
Any more of that stuff and I will be handing out temporary bans, regardless of who does what or who started it.
It doesn't take much intelligence to simply refrain from replying to inflammatory posts, I would hope everyone here can manage that.
This thread is for posting lowpoly work and simple feedback/critique. Any name-calling or off-topic arguing will be deleted. If you want to discuss the merits of any particular application or workflow, make a new thread in General Discussion or Technical Talk.
Heres a low poly bash at a FF DS spec character.
My UV's sucketh i think...learn from your mistakes!:poly124:
EDIT: Now, with mesh!
This will be used for the Quake 1 Coop TF mod, quite fun and addicting
Here's an F14 done with mobile consoles in mind (not for a commercial project thought).
Triangle count is 156
Texture is 1x256*256 + 1x128*32
Awesome
The texture lacks some contrast though, you could accentuate the models shape by painting some subtle highlights on the edges.
Thanks
Don't know if they will in the new movie, but they did then. Those outfits were pretty tight too.
