You did such a good job on the model!! Thank you so much :D Can't wait to show this off in the near future ;)

We NEED a tutorial on how you make your hair for these models, there doesn't seem to be any really good tutorials for low poly hair out there.

Great fucking tutorial on showing few second of u modelling and skip to finished product. brilliant. Totally I could follow that yea totally.

The smooth mesh shading helped me alot on my models. By the way when texture painting, I find it a bit better to start off at slightly higher Res(512x512) to get more details when you downscale the image to 128x128 or 256x256.

I think Megaman Legends pulled out the best looking low-poly 3d anime character models, that also were pretty damn expressive. Also Vagrant Story is a good source of inspiration for low-poly characters with more edgy design.

If you wanna go the extra mile then model in triangles

Was helpful in a backwards kind of way. Everything said that's basically "a bad thing" in this video, is the exact aesthetic i wanted. example: I finally found 'shade flat'!

Modelling tip: You can have several 3D Viewports so you don't have to constantly switch (e.g between Front and Right View). At the very least, have one 3D Viewport in Camera Perspective (not Orthographic), and adjust the angles around the model so you can spot potential weirdness early on.

Now I'm curious why PHIA wants retro style of her avatar.

This is fantastic information - thank you so much for sharing! High res stuff seems so out of reach for me as a 2D illustrator but you've made low poly modelling very accessible!

dude your channel is a godsend for these low poly blender tutorials. I hope you make more because as a newish blender user I can't get enough!

OMG! this is exactly the kind of tutorial I was looking for! Alongside wit your 3d pixel art tutorial Thank you!! ✨

Cool! Thank you for this vid because I’ve been struggling with how to make stuff in blender and this makes sense, it gives me an idea of where to look into next

I actually wanted to do this but didn't know how I wanted to do it. This is a good start!

Im glad this exists! also immidiatly recognized phia from the tumbnail, which is good cause it shows you translated the design well!!!

I think the only part of this I'm not confident in is the rigging, I've definitely tried and failed at weight painting in low poly but I'm not sure how to get it to treat the separate parts as connected to each other.

Nice videos dude, I've been enjoying them recently!

Another thing you can do is assign vertex groups named after the bone you want it to correlate to. I use this for actual N64 compatible skinned models.

The most unexpected crossover.

Thanks! This was very entertaining and such a great idea.

oh wow your channel is not just game design commentary but actual game design too, nice

Wow this is a very underrated video great stuff this is extremely helpful!

This creation inspired me! Thanks!

Please do more!! You’re my inspiration !!

This looks cute! Maybe I'll try

you made video titled "how to make low poly models" without actually telling how to model them

Phia?! Let's go! Best collab ever.

Wow! Thank you for inspirational video!

you make it look so easy...

can you make an tutorial on how to actaully make the model, like how do you make those shapes

this is the type of modeling that is fun. i should do this more. the more complex, the more investment, the less fun. keep it simple, do it a lot, you'll get good in no time

Can you do a tutorial or time lapse video of creating this type of low poly humans?

BRO THAT REALY HELPFUL SO NOW IF I WANNA MAKE A HORROR GAME BUT I DONT HAVE A SCARY CHARACTER, I CAN MAKE ONE! THANKS AGAIN

Bro basicaly said do it yourself, like how...

Not a super great tutorial to be honest, more of a technique. Im pretty new to blender so seeing how you broke it down would have been nice.

video was actually so unhelpful it made me close the program out of frustration that a guy saying "you can make a low poly model in blender' somehow passes as a tutorial..

The collab i never thought would exist

thanks. i recently realized that texturing can make low poly seem medium to high poly, so this was a great video to add to my understanding.

Low-Poly Phia adorbs! 🥰 I love how the algo saw the two seconds of Minecraft and decided it was a video about it 😄

I need to try this one again later, I gave it a shot making a model for a friend, but texture paint gave me the hard time, most likely due to my uv unwrapping which didn't let me texture the model properly when texturing at 256 =(

your channel is fucking awesome for laymen that have an interest in game dev. also do something related to Guilty Gear Strive! seems like talking about its technical aspects is all the rage right now.

Oooh, very interesting. I did not know that for the purposes of rigging and animation having the body parts be separate is actually easier. I do know retro models did it, I've been consuming references by tonnes looking for solutions and inspiration. But I thought that I will need to make a connected model for ease of animation. Learning that I actually can not do that - makes it a loooot easier. Thanks!

Could you do a full modeling tutorial?

Thats awesome! Now I need to find a video on how to subscribe 2 times!

this is so dope bro

what shape is the best to start with? i've tried with a round cube mesh before but i can't get it to look right. i genuinely have no idea what i should start with edit: no actually using a rounded cube was the right choice!!! for anyone wanting tips, i recommend choosing either the octohedrod or quadsphere presets and changing the radius/divisions :D

this makes me want to learn 3D and make my characters come to life

I appreciate the tutorial!

You don't really explain how you were able to model it you just talked and you did not even say what to do besides the reference sheet

That looks great

I mean, you can rig it in the classic style with all the limbs separated, but you can also fix the topology and make a good rigging with weight painting. I just don't recommend automatic weigh painting since it's messy, and instead use empty groups.

One of the few artist on internt who like to show thier scerets !

Pleasee full tutorial of this modelling 🙏🙏

I needed this becuase I wanna make my own fall back model for VRchat

Looks so awesome man! I'm curious for what she is going to use the model for. Also God! I love phia's look and personality I would kill to collab with a vtuber.

YOOO THE PHIA FEATURE LET'S GOOO

I thought this was a tutorial on how to model it not just color it and stuff

Never thought about making separated limbs, makes total sense! Then how to rig it? each limb is full Hard Weighted? Tying that later

that was cool, maybe this will come in handy lol

even better if you have a ristricted pallete

Gonna make low poly models for a mod that's for 0 ad for performance reasons

I've been trying to do a PS1 styled low poly model myself where the model is seperate by chunks kinda like an action figure. My question is once you seperate the model and you rig a bone to each one of their limbs, what do you do to turn it all into one single mesh without ruining the rigging process?

Actally a good tutorial.

Man, now I really want to learn blender. This is making it feel a little less intimidating.

You have to remember that they couldn't have weights for joints back then; a vertex could only be influenced by a single bone in a skeletal mesh. It was very common to have shoulders that didn't connect to the body. They usually still connected the elbows because they have simpler movement that was easy enough to deform properly. Hands would depend on the game; if they did a lot of intricate hand movement like in MGS they wouldn't be connected, but for a simple shooter where all they do is hold a gun they would be. The only alternative was to use vertex animation which came at the cost of memory. It was common in PC games but rare among console titles.

que good que me he topado with este video, thank you brother

This could be useful for a fan puppet combo killer

Very cool also uncanny how much the model reminds me of someone I know.

I will save this for later

Gonna use this

couldve been more detailed on the modeling process when it comes to a tutorial..

What do you think about having the limbs seperate but still part of one mesh just the acording bones are fully wieght painted to the acording limbs for optimization?

I am gonna make my own version of v1 and use it now.

How do I go about rigging the model at the end? I have a model with each of the limbs as their own objects but I'm not sure how to proceed from here.

does anyone know what tutorials he used to learn?

It looks like something Directly out of play 1 or nintendo 64, Nice!

Heroes of the storm mentioned, YESS !

An important trick for making an N64-style model is to have varied texel depth. Your model here used a 256x256 texture, but for an N64 model you'd need to use 64x64. The trick is to focus that detail on the portions that most need the detail, such as the face, and then make most surfaces use only a couple pixels.

I'm struggling, but I must try

could you make a longer tutorial ? please? XD

can i have a more simple and step by step tutorial about how to make low poly models in 1990 style?

This looks so easyyyyyyyyyyyy but is probably so difficult, why must art torment me like this?

So, if i make a military helmet and want to add night vision goggles will it work

Thanks! ......how to make a model. 💀

i like the part wher u showed us how you made it

a 256x256 was huge at the time. try 64x64 for a character and try to stay between 50-100 quads.

Oh shit, I'm just getting into 3D so I was under the impression I'd have to sculpt and then retopologize over it to get a low poly version. How do I import my concept art as a background so I can model over it like you did?

a video on Godot character animation handling would be cool

A good channel 👍❤️

that tiny blushing anime face made me lol

Ah, i see your man of culture

Not the Jill sandwich cutscene 😭😭😭

Well… time to start over again… (I used the same shape as the full body for mine 😔 )

Ok, and how do i do all these things?

how do you export 3d model from blender to fbx/obj with paint texture (i use material surface emission,image resource) ? because when i export it, the paint not included

would try if I knew how to draw the characters in my head

now just add subdivision surface modifier and you get a high poly model

any tips on how to get references? I got this video, but no references/reference sheets

thank you now i can make my game
