Low poly models

Galdor · #1 05-02-2008, 04:43 PM

Well felt like trying some more 3d stuffs in milkshape after doing anubis banner, haven't really done much 3d models before so thought it might be interesting xD
you can mostly only do low poly with milkshape also coz texturing is a pain

the head, minigun and steel barrel are zone stuffs, the sword is my own design.

Chompy · #2 05-02-2008, 05:14 PM

That's pretty cool

Reminds me of very old PSX games

Mr_Blue · #3 05-02-2008, 07:06 PM

Never used milkshape before. Did you use a 2d reference inside the program or do it all from scratch? Either way, not bad for low poly.

It's best to use references in milkshape as you make poly by poly after vertexes that you put out, I made a sketch for the sword, the zone stuffs where based off stuffs I found in the zone image folder.

Mr_Blue · #5 05-02-2008, 07:14 PM

Well, I didn't know if you could import 2d images to draw against like in 3DS Max.

Galdor · #6 05-02-2008, 07:29 PM

well I add some background images that Im going to use as reference, could been made better its not too alike but just wanted to put together a few models for fun xD

Stephen · #7 05-02-2008, 10:36 PM

Not very good, but it's nice to see more of your stuff. If you have a place you keep your art (like deviant art) I'd love for a link.

Nice for a low-poly quick build!

Galdor · #9 05-02-2008, 11:38 PM

lol tried to make one of zodiacs weapons into 3d but... donno, the blade looks fine but the cross guard ect looks quite ugly xD

Elk · #10 05-02-2008, 11:52 PM

Special powers

Made another zodiac weapon, an axe this time had a bit of a texturing problem but w/e.

Robin · #15 05-03-2008, 03:59 AM

Those are good man but yeah might want to get some better textures :P

DustyPorViva · #16 05-03-2008, 05:23 AM

To be honest, the sword in the first attachment isn't really low poly :P
I can't do the count but it looks like it has more polygons than even the head.

Also, Robin is right... low poly means nothing unless you have good textures to go along with it. I wish I could post but pixelation has a few posts with low poly stuff that even makes a simple cube look nice because of the quality of the textures. You should use stuff catered for your models, it'll probably look a ton better.

I think it's safe to assume the work which Galdor has done here was for entertainment purposes, and the novelty of turning 2D sprites into 3D objects.

DustyPorViva · #18 05-03-2008, 06:31 AM

Ya, but he can also enjoy himself doing the textures himself

Elk · #19 05-03-2008, 07:12 AM

galdor i love how youve analyzed my sword like that...its exactly like that :3

xAzerothx · #20 05-03-2008, 07:44 AM

I'm gonna have to try this out. Your stuff looks nice.

tried a bow, very simple xD

and arca gems xP

cbk1994 · #25 05-03-2008, 11:01 PM

Do you just sit at your computer all day making 3D objects?

YOU'RE A MANIAC!!!!

Very nice

Thats wrong. It's super low poly. Games today uses many times as much polygons as any of Galdors models.
But no offence to you Galdor, I think they are really good, and I actually like the pixelated textures, they fit the models.

DustyPorViva · #28 05-04-2008, 08:39 AM

Just because it uses less polygons than a PS3 model doesn't make it low poly

I think just about everyone that dabbles in 3D modeling can agree, that low poly is not necessarily defined by the amount of polygons actually used (In most cases), but by the level of detail an object has.

DustyPorViva · #30 05-04-2008, 09:01 AM

And that sword has a lot of detail in just the polygons itself. I'd consider a low poly sword one in similar model design to the ones in Zelda:OoT.
That link you posted(ha, you're gonna get in trouble) itself says that low poly models mostly appear blocky(such as block heads). Like I said before, there's no reason a sword should have more polygons than a head in low poly stuff.

Mr_Blue · #31 05-04-2008, 09:12 AM

My mistake. I didn't look closely when I made that previous post and the one prior to that. They are, I agree, not low poly.

Now you see this is why I take the weekends off.

Don't hate me, I'm only human

trifle · #32 05-04-2008, 06:42 PM

The sword is low poly. And it's on DS level of details. PS3 uses like 6000-12000 polygons on a character, and up to 1500 on a weapon.
Lowpoly mostly means it's made for a game anyway, and with that low amount of detail, it has no other use then in a game.

Mafukie · #33 05-04-2008, 11:36 PM

I think they fit the graal style really well, expecially for a Graal 3D...

Galdor · #34 05-04-2008, 11:46 PM

a low poly graal server would be really cool, maybe a bit higher res on the textures but should still look pixeled

Shakram · #35 05-05-2008, 02:55 PM

yeah i hope Graal 3D will be in low poly or cellshading look :O
the weapons are cool and i think the textures fits
they only look ugly because of the zoom

ring of fates for the ds has a good low poly look
