Low Poly Art for Illustrations & Video Game projects
In this course you will learn the basics of how to emulate this trendy art style which has been used in popular games such as Journey and Monument Valley. For games, lowpoly is important for optimisation which is measured with the polycount of your model. The higher the polycount is for your model, the longer it takes for the system to render it. Content & OverviewThis is a great way for beginners to introduce themselves to 3D programs like Cinema 4D. Starting with a basic overview of the program, the course will help familiarise you with the tools you will need first. With the basics complete, the course will take you through how I created the lowpoly wolf step by step. We will break down the model to make understanding the process easier, starting with the body of the wolf and finishing with the paws.
Students completing this course will have the knowledge to create basic shapes and characters in the lowpoly style in Cinema 4D.
I have included the Cinema 4D file to download at the end of the course for you to use as reference. So you'll be able to work alongside the videos to create your tree. Please feel free to share your creations as well! Who this course is for:
  • Complete beginners who are confident using a computer.
  • Digital Artists
  • Indie game developers
  • Illustrators
  • Graphic Designers
  • People who are looking to learn 3D software & modelling techniques

Best course for low polygon creation Basic

By Hemmanis Kar

EVERYTHING WAS VERY GOOD, But I would have appreciated more if you could have demonstrated how to add the low poly background or sort of how to make it because I am a beginner to C4D. I learned a lot from this tutorial.

By Ahmed Abdo Al-kawaliny

it was a great path, but I think if it provided with exercise files it would be better.

By Kanno Floris Adebanke

Such a delightful tutorial. I love the fact that he went straight to the point in explanation.

By Anchit Kawaatra

It was ok, easy to follow for someone who knows 3d already. Its just the tree that is modelled here. I felt instructor had more knowledge of Photoshop than Cinema 4D.
