  • Comments are awful.

  • Interesting modeling approach using vertex extrude to create basic shapes.

• Detailed low-poly hand .

  • Just a showcase.

  • The fact that fingers are trapezoid-shaped was done without reason and ruins animation.

PSX

• Low-res texture by painting on a high-res texture and downscaling it with Img2Pixel .

  • Addon Texel Density Checker .

    • Tutorial .

      • It's a slow tutorial but a gem. (2025-09-11)

• Pixel Perfect grid and Changing the Grid to make it PixelPerfect {2:01 -> 5:00} / Use ready palettes while painting {21:03 -> 22:14} .

  • Addons: Texel Density and Sprytile Painter (for auto-update in Blender when saving the image in an external program).

  • For the Grid:

    • In 3D View / Overlay :

      • Scale: 0.0625  and Subdivisions: 16

      • Changing Scale does not seem to do anything. I don't know why it's done.

    • In Properties :

      • Scene -> Units -> Unit System: None .

    • Even in Blender 4.1.0, there is the problem of Scale not snapping to the grid.

• Dracula Flow Modeling .

• Using Photoscans to make quick scenes .

• Timelapse Industrial Complex .

Texturing / Painting

• Look into Substance Painter and test the workflow.

  • I can also test other 3D painting software.

  • Regardless of whether it's good or not, I can use UV techniques to paint in Blender.

• Texturing on Substance Painter with a pixel art filter .

• Creating structures with only one texture .

• Texturing with: 'Pixel Palette Texture' x 'Trim Sheet Textures' x 'Single Atlas' x 'Multi Atlas' .

  • Depends on the art style, but all are interesting.

• Painting with a Stencil .

• Painting with a Stencil .

• Painting with a texture as Mask .

  • While the Mask is active, the texture is visually wrapped around the object. If you paint while it is active, the mask texture will be painted on the object.

• Painting multiple textures at the same time, blending the result .

• Manually painting the Roughness Map and Specular Map .

• Manually painting the Bump Map .

  • A good way to give volume / relief to an object.

• Manually Painting the Emissive Map .

• Custom Brushes .

  • The brush changes shape based on the texture used.

  • Usually black and white textures are used.
