Snader, I also appreciate the great detail and effort in your post. Thanks!

Snader, I hope, this sin't too much, but can I get FBX versions instead? I lack 3DSMax so i cant read em

No! ò_ó

...

just give me a few minutes.

First 3D model ever !

Edit: Sorry wrong category...

@Snader: So, understanding that for the purposes of a strictly low poly model, triangles are a must, is there some way to still maintain a possibility for all quads and a good technique while modeling an incredibly low poly model, to do higher res low poly (a la League of Legends models)?

Personally, I'm doing these so I can start practicing small, but I definitely want to do higher fidelity models. Is there anything I can do while doing these to build up to such a degree effectively?

Thanks for the post Snader. You helped a lot of people with that!

Lovey post Snader thanks !

working on this , still need to play around with shading .

Good show gentlemen, I believe it's time for tea now hm?

Dude. Hawt Koffee. <3 <3 <3

Only thing I might suggest is less subtle secondary movement on his bowler hat.

My complaint would be the inside pants shadow. Might make sense if he was always just standing there, but when do legs ever stay still?

It does add contrast to seperate the legs but there really is no corresponding contrast on the arms, so the jacket just becomes one shape when they overlap.

My first Blender project (well... half Blender - I still modeled it in Wings because I can't get used to the way Blender works). 30 polygons and 17 vertices, and my texture/material (still not sure what to call it!) is hand drawn in GIMP with a trackpoint mouse... yay.

The hilt appears to be many colors even though it's only one, and it casts a funny shadow on the handle. Suggestions for that? Probably a lighting issue...

I also still don't have any idea what constitutes a "low poly count" model. I see 1000 poly at the top of this thread - is that typical for sluggish computers/small devices? I want to write a MMOG in Python and implement some models from Blender and I don't know what I should allow myself as far as poly count

Alemja: This looks great!

@ Poop
I remember when I first started learning about game stuff and your site was one of the first places someone referred me to. *bows down to da mastah*

Damnit, I even did a search, oh well, the p3d link is new.

900s tris 512x, 256x

Finished up my space lady. The texture on the right is 512, but the model is rendered with a 256 version. She's just under 400 tris

ahh, so many awesome things on this page :-)

and here's my second attempt at making a tree, made a little forest ;p, 66 poly 256x256 texture and no texture filtering,

nice poop, they really need to add support for transparency huh
