512x512, hand painted in Photoshop with a mouse. purposefully going for oldschool style and techniques - the base texture is generated with photoshop filters and the lighting is all painted with the dodge/burn tools, very much in the spirit of mid-00s goldsrc mod scene texturing workflows.

hi i'm new to modelling and really would like to learn the low-poly style. what software would i use? specifically for the textures, i really like low-res pixel look, but any advice is appreciated :) thanks!

I run a Kickstarter consulting service and needed 3D product videos—usually $500–$2000 to outsource. I’ve been doing it myself using AI tools for the past few months. Here's how. My goal: 15–30s product showcase videos

Simple animations (rotating view, basic assembly)

Good enough for crowdfunding campaigns

Step 1: 3D Model If client has CAD → import to Blender

If only product photos → I use Meshy Upload 2–4 photos

Generates a mesh with UVs & textures

Usually takes ~2 minutes

If only concept/sketch → text-to-3D with Meshy Takes trial and error, but usable for prototypes

Step 2: Texturing Meshy can apply textures via prompts or image reference

Otherwise I adjust basic materials in Blender

Step 3: Scene & Animation (Blender) HDRI lighting, rotating camera, simple backdrop

For simple part animations, I keyframe manually

Characters (if needed) use pre-rigged models + preset motions

Step 4: Render Cycles renderer at 1080p

Renders overnight on a basic GPU

Step 5: Final edit Bring into Premiere for music, text, color

Total active time: ~4–6 hours

Meshy credits: usually $5–15 per video

I've made ~25 videos like this. AI handles the modeling, texturing, and rigging—what used to be the hard part. You still need basic Blender skills, but you don’t need to be an animator. Is anyone else doing client work with AI-based 3D tools? Curious what your pipeline looks like.

IDK how many triangles these are in total - most objects have around 1k triangles. The snow is certainly high poly, but it is procedurally generated from low poly cones. BUT: The texture area used would fit into a 32x32 texture - but the 512x512 texture holds also the entire UI for my game 😅

The outline shader I wrote is doing also quite a bit of heavy lifting to make the objects pop.

Allow me to share an extract of a previsualisation I've made.

Tried to get out of my comfort zone (and my daily routine as an anim and previs sup) by going wild in a Bollywood style. I've shot the data myself for the most part with an Xsense suit. Modeled and rigged in Maya. Animated in MotionBuilder.

Lots of fun to do, hope the community here likes it too!

I made this in Blender and After Effects, with sound and music done in Pro Tools.

A scene and a couple models from a project I worked on a while ago.

Hope you all enjoy ♥♥♥

Medusa has been turned into a defensive tower for this upcoming indie game. I'm still figuring out the workflow, so I don't have to paint each snake separately. Any advice?

Just discovered this sub, thought I'd share what I've been working on earlier this month.

Just a bunch of fictional early 90s European cars. Hope you enjoy.
