    What Is Low Poly? Learn About Polygon Art for Video Games and More

    Learn about low poly: a computer graphics art used in video game design and other creative fields Low poly art is one of the most attractive contemporary styles used in video game design, animation, and illustration. You can create cool and simple-looking objects using blocky polygons. This modeling technique has been used to create low-res 3D models, thanks to the simplicity in which you can create basic objects and the fact that the rendering process is in turn reduced. What is low poly exactly? What does the term mean and what are its main features? Art director and low poly 3D modeling expert Daniel Gutiérrez (@danielgutierrez) explains more.

    Free Library of Resources to Help Take Your Creature Design to the Next Level

    Download a free collection of assets created by me, Andrew Entwistle, in Zbrush to help you design a unique character and push your imagination to the next level. So, what is my idea of an insane character/creature? I've asked myself this question many times, my style has developed dramatically since I did my first piece of creature art after moving out of the vehicle environment. Taking inspiration from other talented character artists and iconic movies such as Aliens/Prometheus, Akira, BattleLA and Ghost in the Shell. I've invested time, energy and much thought into defining my style, which I describe as gritty, dark, of high fidelity with a cinematic feel. I now understand how to bring a creature to life and I can give you the structure and platform to do this and create something that will give you a strong sense of pride.
