Thank you for your feedback! It's really important for me and inspiring.

Thanks! In this case, it simplifies and speeds up the work process. Especially when the plane unit has an exact value such as a meter, and you can easily copied and moved it with using Сtrl button.

this is how gamedev works. Tilesheets.

The "Official" name for it in 3D is created what's called a Texture Atlas. In old PS1 games, they would have have an Atlas either for the entire game or per themed area. So for instance, any "snow levels" or "Sewer levels" like you see in Crash Bandicoot would use the same atlas to texture the whole level. Interestingly, someone ripped every texture atlas from a emulated copy of Silent Hill 1 and all its models. I'm sure with some googling you'd be able to find it, just to see how they constructed it all.

@@hazchickgames2840 that's pretty interesting, glad to know that! thank you

Thank you for your feedback! Glad you like it. Good luck in your game project!

This style is probably close to many who played PS1 or something like that as a child. Good luck in your project!

Thanks for your comment! Glad you like it

Thanks for your comment! I'm really glad it's gives you a positive feelings. It inspires me :)

Happy you like it! Hope I can continue to inspire you.

this reminds me of lethal company so much@@Summmer85

Thanks! I just wanted to make it as close as possible to how it was in PS1 games. And it's quite convenient when all the textures are in one place)

@@Summmer85 you did an amazing job at that, I'll give this method a try really soon, it's such a creative workflow I really like it.

@@roselightmoon It's great that more and more people are joining this topic at the present time. Good luck on this way!

@@Summmer85 definitely agree! Thank you so much

Thanks!

Happy you found this useful. This was one of the first attempts to create something in a retro style. Now I'm trying to do almost the same work, only more meticulously.

Thanks! I think, it's situation like with painting, there are fans of realism, and there are fans of stylization. I believe that with the help of stylization, you can show an alternative reality, which is sometimes more interesting than realism, since we see the real world every day.

@@Summmer85 Well, I need to say that is also about performance and features or playing… For example, this is the perfect way to play games on my laptop up to 3 hours, while electricity turned off in Ukraine) And even not about that, just remember the GTA SA, which people still playing and modifying nowadays… But as you know, there are a lot of troubles with technical part there, a lot of bugs etc. But! That’s what I’m talking about! You can add a lot of features and content, while your PS1 style game will weight 20gb for example, just imagine how a lot of content there would be… And also, new and not dumb physical engines, I don’t mean “realistic” physics, we are not in a simulator, but nice and soft physics without any bugs… Better graphics also, I know you said about all stuff should be simplified etc, but this is also possible to create beautiful but simplified graphics! And in conclusion, of course I am now talking about mostly PC, but also, main idea is multi platform game with reusable content, to weight not more than 5gb. I think, with style and complexity like this we can add in this game a lot…

@@aleksandrrush4076 I still have little understanding of creating games and how they works, since I just set foot on this path. I want to learn how to create graphics, and later maybe I dare to go into gamedev. Hi to Ukraine from Ukraine)

Yes, using direct lighting is much easier. But I want to try vertex lightning sometime to fully experience the original process of making PS1 graphic.

Glad it inspired you. Good luck!

Thanks! I really dreaming to dive in game development, even if not alone then in a team. I wish there were 48 hours in a day instead of 24 :)

Thank you!

Glad you like it! Thanks, but you're exaggerating, it's not as hard as you think.

Thank you for review! It's hard to call it a lesson :) but I will have your wish in mind for the future.

@@Summmer85 Thank you. If there is a will, of course. )))

Thanks! Glad you like

@@Summmer85 please make more! :D

Thanks!

Glad you like it :) Thank you!

Thank you very much for your comment, but I think you rated me too high. It's like a separate graphical genre that belongs to a bygone era, just a matter of taste. Modern games are another story.

well its blender, not a game engine

People care about realism over art style People prefer laziness over Hours of Art Work People think Realism = immersion They think its better quality Fact is before required more work, more art direction, which created unique feels. People are stupid is all.

Don’t kid yourself, that’s delusional

@@oozly9291 you'd rather play games with bad graphics? stop fooling around

Glad you like it, it's interesting to watch your result. What about snow animation, I just found a tutorial here on KZfaq and followed its instructions. I'm currently working on a tutorial, but there won't be any snow there.

Спасибо!

Thank you! Maybe I'll try to do something in the future, but for now I'm still learning. I highly recommend a channel of Stark Crafts: www.youtube.com/@StarkCraftsYT You will find there a lot of interesting.

I would also love a short tutorial of how you did this! Amazing job.@@Summmer85

Thank you!

Thank you for review! Happy you like it. Yes, of course, you can use higher resolution textures, but we have a club here for those who are nostalgic for the graphics aesthetic of that time :) Well, yes, pixels will be lost in this case. At this stage I am only learning modelling, but as far as I know tiles are used in the development of different game styles.

I believe it's all about the image size. Many games nowadays use tilesets for high quality models, and still look good.

Thanks! Glad you like

Спасибо! Буду стараться по возможности)

Glad to hear/read) Thank you for writing, it motivates me to do more.

Thank you! In games for PS1 developers used resolution 128x128px and 256x256px. But of course, you can vary this value a little and see what will the best for you. In addition, textures on PS1 were also limited by the number of colours. You need to experiment in this way. Good luck with your project!

Maybe once. Tried to record my voice for my new video and it turned out to be a real problem as my english is pretty weak at first and listening to my voice is very strange. But I will try :)

​@@Summmer85 in that case you should do it in you language, and add subs in english!

I am glad that so many people are involved in this direction and that we can share our experience each other. If you talking about fallen snow at the end of video, yes, it's just planes with subdivisions and after I moved the vertices a bit to create bumps and shade smooth after. The method is primitive, but it turned out quite realistic.

Of course, somewhere there is already tutorial about

Yes! I’ve already figured out how to do this, I’ll try it in future projects.

Thank you! I have no experience in creating tutorials yet, but I'm planning on trying.

To texture like this first you need a trim sheet (a collection of textures that are on the same image) and once u have that make sure to model out your scene, but basically in this style each polygonal face has a separate UV rather than the traditional method of putting uvs together as an island. So for this style don’t UV unwrap (I learned this the hard way and after UV unwrapping I found it challenging to align the shapes with the right texture) Instead go to the uv editing panel in blender, open up the trim sheet, and select the face u want to texture and drag it onto the texture you want. Ideally make all faces as simple squares for best looks. To see the change in real time assign a material to the object with the trim sheet as the base texture image. This is a great way to texture quick assets for games honestly much faster than handpainting and gives a beautiful style. This works for photorealistic Hi-Res games as well, if you’re trying to make assets in the style of half life 2 or silent hill this is the same method they use. I don’t know how experienced u are but if u have any questions feel free to ask I’m bored at work and love talking about this stuff ALSO another note is I recommend leaving space between the textures on the trim sheet so there isn’t overlapping, sometimes when exporting to a game engine you’ll find lines in between UV faces that only show up far away, this is due to texture scaling being wonky. You should give space between each texture and extrude the pixels out a lil bit about 6 pixels is a nice safe bet. You’ll see better results that way and not have ugly lines bleed into your uvs on low res settings

This happens due to pixelation. I usually make a few settings in Blender. I recommend you to watch the video on KZfaq named as How to PS1 Style in Blender 2.9.

Glad you like it and thank you for your feedback! Yes, I have already started to move a little in this direction, regarding the tutorial. Other people are asking about it too and now I can't turn it back :)

Thanks! This is Ode - Silver Maple

also... document resolution on photoshop?

what I do is select the row of vertices I want to flatten, then figure out which axis I want to flatten it on. So, for example, if I want to flatten it on the Z axis I would select the vertices and then do press S + Z + 0 and it should do what was in the video!

Thank you! It's simple, you need to select vertexes and Scale them by X or Y and then press 0 (zero). You can use hotkeys like S, X, 0

Hi, this is just emission

Yes, it all takes time, but the further, the faster. Good luck!

Hi, glad it was interesting to you! I looked for textures on the Internet in different places. For example texture.com What about movement on the lines - this is due to the low resolution textures and some pixelation settings in Blender.

Thank you for watching! What about the textures, anywhere (Google, Pinterest, etc), but usually I cut it out from the photo and edit it rather than take ready-made ones.

Glad it was useful for you

Thank you very much and welcome! Something new soon :) In this location I used 2 texture files: 512x512 and 256x256 px. I tried to make something like a texture atlas, but it’s far from classic view. Lately I've been making textures for each object separately, and this is sometimes more convenient. Usually I try not to exceed the value 256x256 px. In most cases it's 128x128 px.

Hi, pixel effect is not settings of the camera. Please watch this video for understanding how to do this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcxlfrNm2s2wonU.html

Thanks! I did it via Particle Properties at the right panel of Blender. I watched some tutorial on youtube and followed the instructions.

Glad this was useful to you. Thanks for letting me know! I hope to make a full tutorial someday. In general, I have already started, but I have encountered certain difficulties.

Hi, Thank you! As I know this import way you talking about is normal practice by many people. But I haven't done it yet, because I'm still learning blender only. But I would really like to explorer some kind of engine in the future. Good luck with your game!

@@Summmer85 Hey, do you have any tutorials/videos you can recommend to learn your workflow in creating this kind of artwork? I'm ok in blender but I've only done more realistic works and my modelling is very beginner.

@@mysteriousstranger9496 Hey, I can recommended this channel: www.youtube.com/@StarkCraftsYT

I did snowfall via Particle Properties menu. There are tutorials about on KZfaq, I recommend watching them. Snow on objects is just usual modelling from the planes. I didn't use any shaders. For pixelation I used Nodes of Compositing area.

Hey! This is an interesting question. I thought about this myself, but usually I don’t bother too much and try to roughly match the texture resolution. If an object has a seamless texture (for example ground, grass or wall), then you can simply reduce or increase UV map. But if this is some kind of object like a TV, you can always change the resolution of the texture, for example, make it smaller and look at it. Sometimes I edit and resave the texture several times before it suits me. I try to create textures whose resolution does not exceed 256x256 px. But sometimes I neglect these restrictions :)

@@Summmer85 thank you very much for answer, I want to try to do as you said and I will definitely answer if it helped me!

Thank you for your comment! Yes, pixelation was purpose as I wanted to make it look like PS1 style. To do this, you need to use low-res textures, and also make some adjustments in blender.

Сan't tell it briefly. It’s easier for you to find a tutorial, they are on KZfaq

Thank you! I think that music in animation is very important, as in any movie, it creates the special mood. Here is two music tracks from Epidemic Sounds platform. 1. Ode - Silver Maple 2. Foreign Entity - Calm Shores

@@Summmer85 ty looks sick

I record the screen simply via QuickTime. Working on Mac

It’s difficult to answer in a message about the snow. It will be easier for you to find a tutorial about this on KZfaq. As for psx, this is not shader. For pixelation I use textures in low resolution and change Linear to Closest under Image texture in Material Properties. In addition, in Render Properties I usually change the Film parameter to 0.1 px

@@Summmer85 oh i didn't expect this quick answer thanks for help this is really helpfull! Awesome video btw. I thought the dither and geometric aberration effec (i don't know its name) is shader in unity or ue.

Just a big sphere with sky texture

Спасибо, значит надо пробовать) Не смогу точно сказать сколько по времени заняло. Я делал это где-то в течении месяца понемногу. Четкой картины изначально не было, поэтому творческий процесс растянулся, что-то изучал параллельно. Для создания таймлапса пришлось всё сделать заново, как чистовик в школе.

I don't have one source where I get textures. I often just search on Google, on Pinterest, then modify it additionally, or finish drawing something myself. You can find many interesting here: www.textures.com

You can find any textures by simply searching in Google

Found in the internet and made some modifications

Ode - Silver Maple

Yes, perhaps so. A lot of people here have also said that it's more like PS2. PS1 graphics were even simpler. This project is rather inspired by the time when I played my PS1 and PC in the early 2000s. Now I'm learning how to create retro graphics and somehow save the number of polygons and pixels. This process fascinates me.

I almost have not played games for the last 20 years I think. All the inspirations are from my childhood when I was playing PS1. Some people in the comments compare it to Metal Gear.
