Is there anyway to do 3D game graphics while implementing the charm of pixel art somehow?
Post your ideas and examples.

someone post that one doom horror mod

This Or adding filters that simulate pixelation
Isaac Thomas
just use low resolution unfiltered textures
Ryan Wright
3D models with pixel art textures. It's that simple.
Hunter Fisher
Octopath Traveler
Parker Rogers
This. Many old 3D games had good pixel art textures.
Aaron Sullivan
I'd really love a mor colorful version of Octopath Traveller. Like with GBC era colors instead of all that brown
Gavin Rodriguez
They really mastered it with HearGold/SoulSilver. Those are the most AESTHETIC games ever made.
I'm still not exactly sure what parts are 3D and what are sprites
Landon Cook
The new Mario & Luigi games do it pretty well. Too bad their artstyle is so sterile now.
Owen Flores
Too much bloom and depth of field it looks like shit
Parker Perez
fez, the game is mindful about lining up the object orientation with the camera in specific ways
Camden Torres
Visually more interesting than any 2D shit
Robert Bell
DT and PJ use sprites while SSS/BIS+ are entirely 2D.
Thomas Parker
so basically pixelated textures paper mario
Christopher Cook
Fuck no.
Everything that isn't an NPC or a generic ground/water tile is a model.
Hudson Clark
I fucking hate Depth of Field in all games, this is the thing I hate the most in console games, the fact that I can't disable it.
Christopher Evans
More interesting in a "how the fuck did they think this dog vomit looks good" kind of way.
Xavier Moore
:^)
Nathan Clark
fromsoft did it better
Owen Kelly
what was the point of even making this shit 3D when they just limit you to the exact same camera angle as the original games?
Dylan Long
Look at all that blurry shit, who the fuck thought DoF looked good in anything!?
Benjamin Thompson
Go back working on your game, you aren't getting my ideas for free.
Evan Barnes
Not even pixel art textures, just make the textures use few, but pronounced, colors. I will never understand why people wanted to add unnecessary detail to such low res, low quality textures.
Benjamin Sanders
Prepping for the future, as they were planning a full 3D pokemon. Good way to get everyone ready and see what needs work before moving on to modeling the pokemon themselves.
John Hughes
Holy shit I never realized Fromsoft did 3d dot game heroes. I remember renting that from the video store and... well shit it was so forgettable I can't remember if I had fun with it or not lol
Grayson Lewis
Voxels are ugly fucking trash.
Nathan Green
This. Fuck Voxels.
Anthony Bailey
My question is, when making a game that mixes 3D models and sprites. how do you make sure the pixel resolution matches up pleasingly?
Jack Taylor
Andrew Smith
1. low resolution rendering
2. no anti aliasing
3. no sub pixel averaging of colors
Colton Williams
Yes, see Breath of Fire III and IV.
Dominic Turner
also
4. no lighting
5. very limited color palette
Samuel Edwards
Said the retard who likes 2D pixel shit, pixel art is inherently blurry
Cameron Morris
The issue is how it's implemented, since most 3d models with low poly counts are hideous.
Justin Peterson
Carson Walker
God damn, I seriously thought the graphics were lifelike and groundbreaking like nearly a decade ago lol
Eli Diaz
Gorgeous.
Ian Stewart
If you're doing orthographic projection then you can just scale the view projection matrix evenly, but it's pretty much impossible with perspective projection.
James Williams
Joshua Scott
Pokemon Black and White did a great job with it.
Jayden Bennett
Is there such a thing as low poly h-games?
Ryder Brooks
Luis Garcia
that's a horrible filter though
Jacob Hughes
Jaxon Barnes
I'm sure you can find plenty.
Jose Adams
John Nguyen
None of the Pokémon games did a good job of this.
Asher Wright
Is that yours? I like it a lot.
Gabriel Price
Nothing comes close to this
Christopher Ross
I'm way more interested in flat shading at this point, I don't even use textures in my game projects now.
James Phillips
This
James Lewis
2.5d is wonderful.
Samuel Ross
No, just random set pieces I got stored for inspiration
Hudson Taylor
I just pulled this image off a google search, it looks like it was stuck through waifu2x.
I personally hate the full 3D aspect of the newer games but out of all of them BW is best.
James Lopez
This looks comfy as all fuck and I want to play this game.
Isaac Barnes

I like the way Gen 5 looks.
Joshua Ramirez
Ayden Fisher
these are incredible, but aren't these sprites based on models like how duke nukem and similar games did it? why don't fucking modern fighting games do this
>get 3d artists to do the work
>simple 2d engine
>no licencing
>less latency
fuck normalfags and their shitty desire for bestest giraffex
Ayden Green
Not a game. It's a promo piece for some software called Crocotile.
Carson Howard
Aiden Hall
lmao
Nicholas Reed
Ayden Walker
No. Breath of Fire III and IV are just 3d enviornments but with 2d characters.
John Wilson
Is this yours? Looks good but the arms are a bit stiff and awkward. I like his bouncy hair.
Benjamin Price
Adam Gonzalez
just look for old ones like polygon love
Jordan Phillips
this is dank
who made this?
Nathaniel Morgan
this is fucking godawful. How anybody thinks this looks good is beyond me. It looks like a remaster of a 2d game with a bunch of bloom and depth of field slapped on it.
This is the sort of stuff they should be going for. simple models, and clean, unfiltered textures.
Vagrant Story is damn near the pinnacle of how good low-poly can look. Imagine what we could do these days with proper non-baked lighting systems and shaders adapted for low poly textures.
Jeremiah Bennett
Nolan Nelson
Damn those look really good.
Angel Lewis
I played the demo of this and it made my eyes hurt
Josiah White
Juan Davis
I still want to play it.
Eli Smith
This is very nice. It reminds me of Xenogears.
Aiden Sullivan
this is amazing
Matthew Baker
To add on to BoF
You'd think 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds would look awful like modern Wayforward games, but Capcom was really able to make it work.
Capcom kinda got how to make aesthetically pleasing 3D earlier then most devs, others struggled with the PS1 but Capcom was able to leverage their sprite artists into the 3D realm.

Leo Perez
something that has always bothered me.
If somebody posts a screenshot of an emulated game with a smoothing filter over it, people lose their damn shit.
And yet when comparing Ps1 to n64, people always claim n64 looks better because it supports texture smoothing. Am I the only one who loves blocky, crisp textures over smoothed out blobby n64 textures?
Caleb Parker
seems like an excuse to cut corners to me. but if you're doing a one man project i can see why it would be appealing
Dylan Morales
Jackson Ortiz
Hunter Watson
It was only published by From in Japan. The developer was Silicon Studio
Jace Flores
Nobody claims that the n64 version looks better it's just a meme.
Jeremiah White
Kayden Hill
How much would you kill to play a metal slug game adapted in georgeous low-poly like this?
Sebastian Roberts
Sadly metal slug has been reduced to free to play gacha shit nowadays. A damn shame honestly.
Daniel Howard
seconded. Most people including myself strongly prefer the PS.
Although for some reason I prefer fuzzy N64 Harvest Moon over blocky PS Harvest Moons.
Logan Reyes
Literally "Non-devs share their ideas with non-devs on how to make a gaem" - The Thread
Jack Howard
damn it, this whole FFT/BOF isometric spriates on a 3d background style is so gorgeous. Why did more games not use it?
I'm a pretty damn good artist, If I ever get around to making an Tactical CRPG I'm gonna use this style.
Oliver Martin
Kevin Harris
Looks like shit, and the wobbly camera doesn't help.
Samuel Wright
>nobody is making games that look like this
FUCK

I don't know, I just don't like texture filtering in general. Vertex colors scale seamlessly like all vector art, but textures are only as good as their resolution and must keep evolving.
