This tutorial served it's purpose perfectly, thank you very much!!!!

[@ethereal1444]

I've been looking for this style of modelling and texturing for months and now that I've found your channel, I can't help but watch your videos and make something myself. This is gonna help me immensely in my game development arsenal. I can't thank you enough my friend. Love from India❤️

[@StarkCraftsYT]

Glad you found me! Can't wait to see something from you at some point :D namaste man

great explanation and humor!

[@mcweiser]

this was the first blender tutorial of this length that I was actually able to follow through the whole time!! that isn't to say I actually did it in an hour (lots of pausing bc i'm a newbie) but I had fun and learned throughout!! well done!

[@StarkCraftsYT]

It's totally understandable! It's the same for me when i started :)

[@ArtfulRascal8]

iv been trying for years to figure out how to do this. Iv wanted to make a game with perfect dark style graphics for the longest. Thank you so much sir... seriously.... Great tutorial. Also, using a tripod or a shelf or some thing stable and stationary will help with needing to position the subject. usually also a piece of tape on the wall as well. May seem like alot of work, but it will make the photos consistent as well as cut out a bunch of IN process digital work. Thanks again!

[@SamPardon123]

This taught me a BUNCH of stuff I didn't know before. Thanks so much!

[@Bishop3ga]

Did IT! Thanks for the tutorial :)

[@StarkCraftsYT]

It’s a huge tutorial! Respect, I’m proud of you :)

[@Tehstroyer]

To be honest... why aren't you squaring your UV islands? It's how it was done back in the day because some stretching is still preferable to pixel misalignment on seams etc. And it wastes less pixels.

[@StarkCraftsYT]

Good u mentioned that! ❤🙏 i sadly had to cut corners to get that video under 1 hour. I also skipped the colors limitations and other stuff. Overall i aim for an "inspired" style/aesthetic like I mentioned at the start. the "psx" genre on itch.io is also not that strict. I hope somebody will still get something out of the video. I hope I didn't offended you or something :)

[@AschKris]

This is so cool and hilarious

[@ilikeshiba]

Fun idea and well presented. I followed through up to the texture painting part so far and I must say this is the most genuinely creepy thing I've ever made in 3D. Doing this also helped me realize that, despite doing some stuff with PSX style assets in the past for games, I'm more interested in a modern minimalist low-poly style rather than trying to emulate anything retro. Modern graphics capabilities are pretty incredible and I think for my own purposes using more triangles, materials, and shaders will lead to a more distinct and interesting result. Anyway, thanks for sharing this video!

[@StarkCraftsYT]

🙌♥ Thats such a awesome mindset! This will definitely take some pressure of your projects. Also your approach sound like you will sound endup with your own style :)

[@Bacherr]

If the face texture on your render are not pixelated like in the video then you should change texture interpolation to "Nearest". It can be made in Blender "Shading" tab on the top -> Find texture node -> Change texture interpolation from "Linear" (default) to "Nearest".

[@reamp0000]

Thank you very much. I already did a German Shephard Dog with stencils. But this gives me a bit of an idea how to make it not so cursed... specifically the use of the colored texture and the box unwrap to make the pixels even. Grüße aus München 😉

i love the tutorial, your whole channel is gold for a small project im trying to do. very well explained, and easy to follow. got one question thou, when i UV unwrap > cube project my island are all connected and stretch each other when moved. any idea how i messed this up?

[@oufukubinta]

[@Delgran]

I have followed the tutorial great so far and I'm getting great results, but from 28:31 I have had some issues from there. Firstly the pixel grid is not as pixelized as in 28:59 It looks more high quality than pixelized. In 37:31, My character has long curly hair like a mullet, and if i try making it like your making it here, it looks a bit flat and not so curly. It be great if you made a tutorial on other hairstyles for this. If theres any more issues I will reply them below, but if you can please help. (sorry if my English is a bit bad)

[@GILLS133]

Very cool video! I'm making a desert cactus in PS1 style, this is my first time working in blender. Please tell me why when I resize my texture it doesn’t become pixelated like your character’s face, but becomes blurry?

[@naircat]

ive always wanted to be a tony hawk character

[@StarkCraftsYT]

How doesn't :D

[@akasha9167]

could you do a video with a full-body in ps1 style? only making heads is a bit lame when you wanna use this in animations etc would appreciate it a lot!

[@StarkCraftsYT]

Its on the way currently I'm a bit busy with the game

[@StarkCraftsYT]

Here is a follow-up full body tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/emWakH1_dsh6f68

[@gothgirlplaya]

Hello Mr.Stark thank for the tutorial! I have run into an issue and figured out a work around but please advise me if you can. When texturing the face along with the nose my brush is not texturing the nose unwrapped mesh. When I hide the nose using L then H and brush in the image it does not apply the texture, my work around is to brush the image texture in the uv wrapping view port and not the texture paint viewport. Any help with fixing my nose texture would be great thanks if I cannot fix I understand that we can continue without a nose. Thank you for the great FREE tutorials!

[@finalforest7561]

Reminds me of a Max Payne character from the first game lol

[@turbo8496]

I was waiting for the comment lol

[@kittyli9894]

I love this tutorial! Thank you! I tried to export the head as a simple rotating animation but for some reason it keeps showing up as part pixel grid though I have deleted the image, anyone knows how to fix this?

[@mezdez2424]

When Texture painting the shoes, the texture of the arms change. Does that mean there is some history associated between the two geometries that I need to disable?

[@dadou_space260]

I don’t know why but the pixel grid is not pixelised, its my first tutorial and its super cool!!

[@StarkCraftsYT]

Check if you changed “Linear” to “Closest” in the material under the texture like here on 28:29 It’s necessary to get rid of blur on low resolution images and to display the accurate pixelation.

[@3Ddex]

Is it possible to scan your face and wrap it as a material mesh??

Hi. I finished the tutorial and made a head and saved it and the texture UV map. However, when i closed down Blender, then opened it again to load it back in, the head and the UV map is just black. I can't find a way to put my UV map onto the head without it being black. I am completely new to Blender so help would be appreciated.

[@DaveSniperCoutts]

So I've made it thoroughyl through this tutorial ove the weekend, so far getting a lot down ... im not being too picky about details of the shape of my head, or perfection in the testure mapping, as its my first attempt. however, at the end when i reduce the size to 128x128, the testure map is pizelly like it should be, but the model of the head is giving of a blurred texture, which isnt what im looking for... i've checked around to see if there's any way to switch it off but i can't find anything that might be relative to antialiasing or that. any advice/tips for solving this?

[@DaveSniperCoutts]

nevermind, i actually just stumbled across the answer... for anyone in a similar predicament, go to UV editing tab, then in material properties/surface underneath where you have your head selected as base colour, there is a drop down menu that said Linear for me. you want to change that to closest

[@StarkCraftsYT]

Glad you figured it out by you self. I explained this so many times in alle the tutorials that I must have forgotten to mention it in this one. :)

[@DaveSniperCoutts]

@@StarkCraftsYT honestly I might have just forgotten to listen properly at that part... my focus is never 100% at anything lol

The texture in your UV editor is the surface of your 3D model but just flat

Saludos hermano! When i start to painting, idk why but it paint in mirror, if i paint one side, the other side is painting too, so the face is like a mirror, do u know to disable this? thanks!

qué pasa bro! There are multiple things to do. Apply the mirror modifier and UV unwrap the other side.

Hey! First of all thx for this tutorial it is really helpful! But i have a problem for the texturing part, i don"t know why, when i paint like you did, it paint the 'inside' of the mesh, so it's all messed up. I don't know if i made myself very clear...

[@_Corpo]

okay i found why! in case anybody has the same problem : idk why but my normals were flipped, so you need to go to edit mode, select your whole object, go to mesh > normals > recalculate outside !! :)
