My role in the game is a 3D character artist, tasked with creating all characters for our game this will be including rats and humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Oh Rats! GDD we are following had a clear idea for an art style for the game, a low poly look similar to ‘Mega Man Legends’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

here is a link to Esi’s page which chows the art direction: https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/2024\/11\/28\/deciding-my-art-direction\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went on to do some further research to see some more examples of low poly pixilated models and found this: https:\/\/www.models-resource.com\/3ds\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A website with all Pokemon 3Ds models, you can even download models ad see the UV maps, which was helpful to see what my workflow should look like later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low Poly Models:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since are game is going to be low poly I wanna understand what the geometry should look like and how many polygons we are working with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game asset<\/th>Polygon count (UE)<\/th>Polygon count (Unity)<\/th><\/tr>
Low-detail character<\/td>10,000-20,000<\/strong><\/td>5,000-10,000<\/td><\/tr>
High-detail character<\/td>20,000-60,000<\/td>10,000-30,000<\/td><\/tr>
Simple prop<\/td>500-2,000<\/td>250-1,000<\/td><\/tr>
Complex prop<\/td>2,000-10,000<\/td>1,000-5,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I found this helpful chart for recommended poly and triangle counts for pc and console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
