low-poly 3D artwork and sometimes translation! currently working on Return to Yoshi's island, DM for commissions 👀

@ivoofc it's too complex to run in the vanilla SM64 engine, but it will be course 15 of Return to Yoshi's Island (SM64 romhack)

@pukicho I do low poly, most of my textures I actually model and render in blender, then I do small adjustments in aseprite or with the texture painting mode

[biobak @biobak3D]

@WaterMuseum_ absolutely you should

[biobak @biobak3D]

@ticketytac You can use tris, quads and ngons all at once, meshes are just triangles internally so you can triangulate only when you need it

i made a bunch of very weird looking textures for this level! But through the magic of the combiner they make six super shiny seashells (try saying this one a few times)

It wouldn't be possible to have a texture of that size with that many colors, but using the magic of the ✨Combiner✨, we can make this fancy looking fruit!
follow for more graphics tricks that would have been useful 30 years ago

on the N64, a full 32-bit color texture can be at most 32x32 pixels. The console handles textures up to 64x128, but as the resolution increases, you can have fewer and fewer colors; 256, then 16, then only greyscale values, the largest texture being limited to 16 shades of grey.

thank you for the follows!! here, have an apple

Unfortunately, using vertex colors means this model can't have dynamic lighting, but Kaze was chill about it and found a very cool workaround.
