  • Sharing a little bit of my process for creating low poly hand-painted characters in Blender. Still something I'm working and improving on but I hope you pick up a few tips from this!

    This tutorial is a GODSEND. I was looking into stylized low-poly for months now, and the best I could find was "PS1 style", which is totally not my jam! But this, this is literally donut of character creation, this is GOAT of tutorials

    As an experienced 3D artist who watches tutorials for fun, Id say this is most definitely a tutorial Id look for as a beginner.
    I love how youre not spoonfeeding every bit of information to the viewer
    Direct, easy to understand, good quality product.

    UV unwrapping and specifically textute painting was always such a headache for whenever I'd attempt to make a low poly character. You are a saint for this tutorial 🙏🙏🙏

  • @blackmark2899
    @blackmark2899 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

    Low Poly style is really good because it's a lot like making a chibi. You have design what's the essentials of the character and doesn't allow you to get lost in the details.

  • @cocoasprinklez

    absolutely incredible tutorial, i'm a college student studying game design and was literally just ranting to my friend about how horrible character modelling is, so having this tutorial be understandable and teach exactly what i needed to know is like a miracle really! thanks man, great stuff

    Yes! I love low poly style and this is exactly was I was looking for! I enjoyed modeling in this style in Maya but I want to switch to Blender and I've found few tutorials for what I wanted to do. I'll come back as soon as I learn the basics, lovely presentation and thanks for sharing!

    Hi, thank you very much for the tutorial. I had been looking for months for one of this style, and as I couldn't get any, I experimented in my own way taking other references and I managed to make a 3D low poly model that I liked. Now with this tutorial I can learn everything in a better way, make better models and improve the ones I already made. thank you very much!
