How To Make Low Poly Car In Blender
Introduction
Low Poly is a style of 3D modelling that is popular for use in video games and animations. It is characterized by its low polygon count and simplistic design. Making a low poly car in Blender is a great way to get started in 3D modelling and animation. This tutorial will walk you through the steps of creating a low poly car in Blender.
Step 1: Creating The Base Mesh
The first step in making a low poly car is to create the base mesh. This base mesh will be used as the foundation for the rest of the car. To create the base mesh, you will need to use Blender’s ‘Mesh’ tool. This tool is located in the top left of the Blender window. Select the ‘Mesh’ tool and then select the ‘Create’ option. You will then be prompted to select the type of mesh you would like to create. For this tutorial, select the ‘Cube’ option. Once you have selected the cube option, you will be prompted to select the size of the cube. For this tutorial, create a cube that is 6x3x3.
Step 2: Extruding The Mesh
Once you have created the base mesh, you will need to extrude it in order to create the shape of the car. To do this, select the ‘Extrude’ tool from the top left of the Blender window. You will then be prompted to select the mesh you would like to extrude. Select the mesh you created in the previous step and then select the ‘Extrude’ option. You will then be prompted to select the amount of extrusion you would like to apply to the mesh. For this tutorial, select an extrusion of 2. Once you have extruded the mesh, you will have the basic shape of your car.
Step 3: Refining The Mesh
Now that you have the basic shape of your car, you will need to refine the mesh in order to give it the desired shape. To do this, you will need to use Blender’s ‘Modify’ tool. This tool is located in the top left of the Blender window. Select the ‘Modify’ tool and then select the ‘Refine’ option. You will then be prompted to select the mesh you would like to refine. Select the mesh you created in the previous steps and then select the ‘Refine’ option. You will then be prompted to select the amount of refinement you would like to apply to the mesh. For this tutorial, select a refinement of 2.
Step 4: Adding Details
Now that you have the basic shape of your car, you will need to add details to it in order to make it look more realistic. To do this, you will need to use Blender’s ‘Modify’ tool. This tool is located in the top left of the Blender window. Select the ‘Modify’ tool and then select the ‘Add Details’ option. You will then be prompted to select the mesh you would like to add details to. Select the mesh you created in the previous steps and then select the ‘Add Details’ option. You will then be prompted to select the type of detail you would like to add. For this tutorial, select the ‘Windows’ option. Once you have added the details, you will have a more realistic low poly car.
Step 5: Applying Textures
The next step in making a low poly car is to apply textures to it. To do this, you will need to use Blender’s ‘Texture’ tool. This tool is located in the top left of the Blender window. Select the ‘Texture’ tool and then select the ‘Apply’ option. You will then be prompted to select the mesh you would like to apply the texture to. Select the mesh you created in the previous steps and then select the ‘Apply’ option. You will then be prompted to select the type of texture you would like to apply. For this tutorial, select the ‘Car Paint’ option. Once you have applied the texture, you will have a more realistic low poly car.
Conclusion
Making a low poly car in Blender is a great way to get started in 3D modelling and animation. This tutorial has walked you through the steps of creating a low poly car in Blender. From creating the base mesh to applying textures, you now have the skills to make your own low poly car in Blender. So get started and have fun creating your own low poly car.
