pixel snap is on a flyout button under the vertex snap button

The model itself usually isn't hard to do. The hard bit is having a character design that works with a low poly count and being a good enough texture artist to pull it off - and in the case of Fear Effect, intentionally flat lighting.

Non-continuous meshes are less poly heavy and you don't need to worry about deformations. It's a thing I did in commercial work up until 1999, because you never noticed it if the textures were properly done to hide the transitions. The lower screen resolutions also helped a lot.

Nothing wrong with that? You can't do much better with the same polycount and no shaders. The limbs are separate like that because the hardware could not yet run weighted skins in real-time smooth enough for it to be worth the performance hit.

Also found this tutorial very helpful if anyone is interested in doing low poly with pixel art textures http://www.celsiusgs.com/blog/2011/07/low-poly-modelling-screencast/

I dont know anything about 3d so am a noob, but why so may triangles and no squares? I hear arguing here about if squares or triangles are better for "reasons" but never really understood that either. Figured it was performance based.

>> No.670360

>>670358
It's very simple, what's happening here is triangulation. If you notice you can easily merge all these triangles to form squares (quads, if you will). All game engines will triangulate all quads (i.e. split all squares into triangles) because it's simply something easier for the game engine to handle, as triangles are the most basic shape.
As for the argument, if you've seen us argue about that on /3/ before then you've definitely seen all the real technical reasons, just never bothered to understand them. It's okay, it's incredibly irrelevant to you if you don't do 3D art.

Absolute beginner here. If I'm beginning to build low poly assets for use in a game, what size should I start? Does it matter? Does this question reveal fundamental misunderstanding and idiocy?

>> No.671220

>>671030
Depends on the engine you're using. And I assume that by size you mean the number of polygons. Most modern engines can handle more polygons than any low poly model is gonna use, so don't worry about it unless you're really trying to squeeze out some performance, at which point you'll just have to experiment on your own.

Why confusion comes from not understanding how the data of a 3D asset compares to say a png. If I'm trying to optimize my 2D work, I make my pngs tiny pixel assets and limit unnecessary art with mirroring, etc. What is the equivalent in 3D? Should I build very small shapes?

Real world size? Like 1:1 scale? This statement confuses me. Sorry!

>> No.671364

>>671363
Yeah, real world size. If you have a bed a table and an stool, you build them in real world scale so that everything matches proportionally when you put them together in an scene.

I am confused with what you mean with your first question.
You can mirror and instantiate objects in 3D. If you have an object that is symmetrical, you model one side and mirror it to the other. No reason to do the same thing twice.

Let me clarify. If I'm making art that is not intensive on the computer for a 2D game, I'll make the sprites tiny, have few sprites in general, use tiles etc etc. What would be the equivalent in a 3D game? Does making a model real world size, ie a 4ft tall table, be intensive on the machine? Do you make intentionally small models so the textures don't have to be large? Ultimately this question is useless, as I'll learn this stuff as I go, it was more a quick query in case I was wasting time.

3d models become more costly based on their complexity, not their size. Think of increasing the size of an object like zooming in on a sprite. A 1 meter wide cube is just as hard to render as a 10 meter one, and a 10cm tall highly detailed character is more computationally expensive than any cube could ever be.
Think of you vertices as pixels, and the size of your model as the how close your face is to the screen.

Outside of the indie market, no one's really interested in low-poly? There's a reason why all the memepoly bullshit is only done by indie hipsters. Hollywood's too busy with photorealistic CG and the game industry's trying to push even more verts in every scene with each title.
It's very much a retro thing, it's like asking why they don't make CRT monitors anymore or why we stopped using optical media. Sure, people still like them and they have a very strong novelty factor, but the truth of the matter is that it's old tech and people want to move forward.

There's basically no discussion. Nobody talks about their techniques, nobody shares pointers. It's all just 'here's my new thing' and 'wow thats cool' and 'I'm taking comissions!'

Nobody is like 'here's how I modelled and textured this flame effect', 'Here's my workflow modeling these sorts of things'.

If you put it that way, then think about it this way: it's a niche that has valuable interest if people can make money off it (through commissions or even just the general exposure/interest). Since it's a niche, i.e. not many people know its inner workings, expecting all those juicy Trade Secrets to come piling out is kinda silly, right?
