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

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.
@lelagrangeeffectphysics4120
@lelagrangeeffectphysics4120 Ай бұрын
Pixel art/Low Poly/Chibi all focus on a simple silhoute, generally dont need very complicated details and rely on focus points(2-3 defining trais of a character, like glasses, a ribbon, perhaps a piece of armour or two).

This video should be at the top of the search results so that Blender beginners like me can find it easily and not waste time searching. This is the only one I found that answers the question of why texture painting appears darker in the viewport. And... most videos in Tube seem to assume we have experience with texture painting, even if they are intended for "beginners". This even single video contains most essential tips and information that we should know. Subscribed!

This tutorial is incredible. I can't tell you how many low poly tutorials i've watched and thought "yeah this is low-poly, but it isn't quite the image I had in mind." until I found this video. Your reference character is super cute and I love how simple and straightforward your modeling process was. Sometimes I stress out and overcomplicate things thinking that if I don't do it then it won't look good with textures, so seeing it done right helped me visualize so much. Thank you so much.

It took roughly 7 hours as a beginner to make this while following along. I was initially thrilled because your approach resonated with my goals for character design. However, it's crucial to clarify that the video isn't precisely a tutorial. My primary aim in watching was to grasp texture painting and UV mapping, so it was disheartening when, after finally completing the model, the video suddenly sped up, leaving me feeling left behind. This feedback is simply meant to be constructive; since there's no mention in the video that it's a tutorial, it's not your fault. However, the initial portion does give the impression that new users can easily follow along, which only adds to the frustration after investing hours. Despite these challenges, I managed to keep up fairly well, even resorting to slowing down the video to 0.25x speed during the UV mapping segment (such difficulties added significant time to completing the piece). I was really hoping for a demonstration of how to pose the model as well. Anyway, great art and thank you for posting the video!

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!
