Kinda cool that n64 texturing and stuff is a aesthetic now, I’m opting to go this route and make my stuff look vintage over the unreal engine polish honestly I feel like the clean style is gonna become super forgettable and even where we are now with how realistic graphics can look 9/10 they’ll look dated in 5-10 years so making things with this style although it might be a bit more to build up a skill to make this stuff it’s not too hard once u get the basic building blocks n principals of 3D animation I feel things textured n what not to get a unique style like this it’ll age like a wine while the more clean unreal look will age like milk in some regards I don’t wanna see this style be lost to time.
I have been making PS1 style models for ages and I clicked on this out of curiosity and discovered Shoebox! That has made texturing so much easier thank you!
Can we contact you? I have a game idea. It's relatively simple and I think it will work. It will be my first try in this industry. You can think of it as a chill project.
@@elpis2 you gotta work yourself on that man, even more if it's your first game. That way you'll learn more about game design, because your ideas and flaws impact only you, and not a team
sad to think developers actually had to be smart, using one texture for multiple objects in creative ways. Now they just ship 150gb games with 8k textures for a pencil on the ground.
Using symetrie and tile Map you can make so much more thing, back then Ram and CPU usage where so limited only few megabyte or kilobyte where avaible, the CG artist must use those kind of malicious CGI trick, with this approach and New tech you can make bigger environnement using procedural and PBR tilable textures.
it looks great, that link in description seemed a bit sus and idk what Adobe Air Runtime is, but when I tired to make the textures myself in Krita i noticed how much time it would save if I just downloaded that... lol
@@DonTeriyaki Figured it out! The link below the shoebox link in the video description works to download air. Seems to be scrubbed from the rest of the internet other than that specific link.
Wow, that's really cool, man! I definitely want to give it a shot. Honestly, chasing after photorealism can be such a hassle, always feeling stressed about not quite hitting the mark and dealing with a slow viewport. So, being able to do something like this is a real breath of fresh air. It's almost therapeutic, you know? Thanks a lot for the tutorial, i learned some new things I hadn't even thought about before😅
Yeah that's one of the things that got me into learning the ps1 style, it's nice just to be able to model stuff lazily and it still turning out how I want due to how un-fussy the ps1 style is to create for. Glad the video helped you 👍
This is the second time I've modeled in Blender and the first time I've used texture. I am amazed by the comparison of the cube I've made with your well-detailed monitor. The world of 3D modeling seems incredible to me, and I will keep practicing until I reach your level
This is one of absolute favorite videos I’ve seen in a long time. The music, the cleverness of how you did several things, the nostalgia… it scratched a lot of things in just the right way. Even the little mouse spins you’d do when a step was done was just fun. Can’t wait to watch more of your stuff
this video is literally perfect. im at work right now and i feel like i am gonna retain this info for when i get home. (i will not be able to and i will be back here to reference it again)
I have been texturing for a while but this video just opened my tiny mind.. I can just take pictures of stuff, cut the object out, and use that as a texture.. lol
I was seeing a lot of these PS1 type of models on social media I was wondering HOW THEY MADE IT, i thought it was an especific 3D Software never thought of Blender You gained 1 New Subscriber
I know this wasn't the point of the video but thank you for introducing me to a new tracker artist, I've been listening to Elwood and Skaven all day at work between calls. Gonna have to add Nighthawk to my regular listening
i love the idea of moving the grid to make the vertexes wobble; but the ps1 vertexes only wobbled when there was camera movement or when the object was actually moving.
That tray you created doesn't make sense, what you put there is actually a face plate. There is no floppy disk drive. Also there is no disk drives that open that way except CD-ROM and for that it looks a bit bulky.
I've seen plenty ps1 graphics tutorials, and this one is one of my favourites! I didn't know about shoebox and I can't wait to incorporate it into my 3D workflow! Loved the soundtrack too, really brings me back to earlier internet times! Also, the way you recycled the texture so many times was really insightful, like using that indent line in the computer's side panel to make it look kile there's a shadow on the base of the monitor - I love seeing this sort of thing in tutorials, I would have never thought to try and use a texture this way. Overall the way you put so few textures to work in such an efficient manner is really impressive! Keep the great work up!
Holy shit texture ripper looks like great software. I've been doing similar stuff, but using photoshop to make texture maps. Gonna give texture ripper a go looks good.
Thank you for such a good tutorial, it is easy to understand and very entertaining, any video you can recommend on how to make accurate PS1 characters with model box? PS: I love Björk!
i feel so dumb remembering not to long ago triying ot get some PC98 esque dithering exporting ilustrations as the lowest posible quality possible Gif in premire, when PDN just has the right tool and i didn't even bother to check it
Oh thank you so much for telling me about Shoebox! I used to manually warp the images to make them perfect for textures, but this just saved me a ton of work! And the tutorial itself is amazing. Don't stop, you've earned yourself a sub!
I watchedthe whole tinh lke i was a movie and I loved it! Right at the beginning, you mentioned the shoebox with the texture ripper, and that alone solved a big problem for me. Thank you so much for showing me that. The rest of the tutorial was incredible and really helpful for my project. Thanks again!
Amazing video and what an incredible playlist. Sounds like music straight out of a Sega Genesis game like Ristar or Sonic. Wonderful combo! Thanks a lot for making such a simple, straight-forward video to teach the concepts.
reusing UVs is bad practice if you want to bake lighting in game engines (which you should want to do for PS1 assets) I'd recommend adding a second UV Map and baking the textures if you want to go down that route. It's a little annoying but broken lighting is worse. Also... that keyboard is way too high poly. lol.
Vertex painting is really strong if you wish to save on texture space. You could for example use the red channel for the lighting, the blue for roughness, the red for metallic and the alpha for well, alpha. In game engines you get one vertex layer per mesh, but in blender you can have multiple and mix them up in your material.
Thanks for the shoebox texture ripper it looks really useful. Constructive criticism: A real PS1 has screenspace vertex snapping where vertexes would snap to pixels on the output signal due to lack of subpixel processing. There could be a way to replicate this effect with geometry nodes. Also the keys on the keyboard would never be modelled in a game, unless it is extreme close up.
I like how many textures you "faked" by just grabbing some other part of the image. This whole technique looks so easy I wonder how complex a game could be if low-res (not necessarily PS1 style) were adopted by a studio with a real budget.
People forget how reusable title texture are, especialy if you work with low poly or non realistic asset, methodology like that can also work on procedural en PBR texture, less memory en CPU usage make bigger environnement ! With today technologie you can unlock so many thing if your using the ( less IS more ) approach...

Its kinda crazy how textures are nowadays with PBR and stuff, love that these objects tell enough detail and allow you to work on other things too

i love the idea of moving the grid to make the vertexes wobble; but the ps1 vertexes only wobbled when there was camera movement or when the object was actually moving.
That's true, to achieve this effect you could tie the movement of the camera to the box using constraints
That tray you created doesn't make sense, what you put there is actually a face plate. There is no floppy disk drive. Also there is no disk drives that open that way except CD-ROM and for that it looks a bit bulky.
