Since beginning my fairly recent & sporadic adventure in teaching myself Blender, as I’ve shared I have utilized a few absolutely fantastic & reliable resources to guide me on my journey.
This work was inspired and guided by the very talented, Grant Abbitt. He has a number of great tutorials and he teaches in a very clear, calm and fun way. I strongly recommend checking him out if you’re looking to get started. His Complete Beginners Guide to Blender 2.8 series was the foundation for this experiment.
As usually happens with all tutorials, I quickly veered off path to add my own twists and spins as ideas and inspiration start flooding my creative lil’ mind. I don’t know if what I ended up creating would still count as low-poly…but I tried and it was fun to play.
Working Low Poly made me feel very much like I was working on the Dire Straits music video, “Money For Nothing”. It was a lot of fun…and—don’t let the simplicity fool ya—not without it’s share of hiccups as you’ll see below…
Above is a turntable animation of the final scene. (You’ll notice, the lights are still acting weird by flickering, showing through geometry and other general funkiness).
