What is 3D Pixel Art?
3D Pixel art is a form of digital art, created through the use of 2D-like raster graphics software, where images are edited on the pixel level in the form of blocks. Graphics in most old (or relatively limited) computer, console, graphing calculator and mobile phone video games are mostly 2D pixel art, and now we use the new technologies t have the retro-cool style with the amazing functionality that 3d technology provides.
Note: This course is great to take as a combination with the 3D Pixel art - Crossy Road modeling course.
* For educational purpose only

Software doesn't match so nothing is as it is being taught. Also, course really has a dependency on MagicaVoxel. It would have been nice to know that before taking the course. It would be better if the instructor would update the course.

I like the way the instructor works and how he organizes his courses. Each one covering a specific topic that works together with the others in a cohesive way. The courses I have taken from the instructor so far have been particularly useful to me, because while I tend to be good at learning by myself, I often find difficulty in taking the first step, so these courses pointed me in the right direction. This course in particular was particularly good for me because I'm a programmer and the artistic side of game making was completely alien to me. Now I know how to get resources and make some basic ones for myself. In addition to being familiar with how animations and events are handled. I am very satisfied with a course and I would recommend it, especially for beginners. I can only find two details that might cause difficulty or confusion for user which are: First, the instructor's first language isn't english, so I guess that if english isn't your first language or your level of english isn't good enough it might be problem. But for me, since I have a very good level of english, it was no problem at all, even with spanish being my first language. The second detail is that in some lectures continuity is not perfect, for example, when going from finishing wonder woman to starting with ironman, I had a bit of trouble getting the base setup right and had to consult the finished project to double check animation parameters and such. Nothing major though. And that's it, not perfect, but very good. All in all, thanks for this course.

MegicaVoxel is a bit different than from the video, and I had to use the forums to be able to make the animation work in Unity. But so far I am excited of what I've learned so far. I can see myself using what I'm learning in the future and I'm really enjoying the course.

I really enjoy all the way through the course, and it gives me a lot of help to create my own characters. the voice of the instructor is very clear. All the information is described carefully. I really want to thank Mr. Yohann for his great courses.

Yohann is an excellent tutor. He walks you through each step that you need to take and is very clear with what you can achieve. I was surprised by how much content this course covered, from creating the characters, through animating them, to even adding a working laser beam - tres bon! I am looking forward to taking more of his courses.

some of the software used in the course has changed it's menus, but that is not the fault of the instructor! The lessons and tools are still the same, but you may need to go a bit slower to find where and what the things are called now. This course will give me sooo much more I can add to my games, i'm really happy about it! Thanks.
By Travis Parks on 3/21/2016
I'm a complete beginner, and this course is perfect for me. It shows where to get great free tools to help me do the things that I can't, and teaches me the basics so that there's more possibilities for my game creation.
By Howard Wolosky on 1/29/2016
I'm still going through the course, I'm reserving giving out all 5 stars until I've had a chance to review all of the course material. My previous review gave some critical feedback to the instructor on missing-but-necessary course material, and he very quickly went and got the material added. While I can't yet speak to the quality of the material in the entire course, an instructor that responsive to critical feedback bodes quite well for the course overall.
By Damian Lord on 1/10/2016
Once again Yohann has produced a great course with easy to follow tutorials, which (for me at least) allow the production of some excellent looking game assets for the non-artist. One of the areas I always struggle with is the art (and the temptation to download assets), but Yohann shows how easy it is to create voxel-style characters and how these can easily make your game come alive and retain the personal touch!

I must begin by saying that i have been learning unity on my own since its 3.0 version. With tutorials and books i have learned to use unity at an intermediate level but i was always stuck in my projects because i am no artist, At All!!. This course actually gave me the tools and the know how to tumble down the art barrier and actually finish my first playable game. I was so excited because i have used tutorials and high end programs like maya en photoshop but never came close to doing something artistically nice compared to what yohann introduced in this course. I deeply appreciate the detail and the time the instructor has put into the course to make it so simple and yet so efficient, and the best of all using free tools that give me that extra edge to compete with others. Finally i feel that i can work and share my imagination with the world, Thanks Yohann.
