Blender Beginners Tutorial on Low Poly Modelling and Pixel Shaders

👾A tutorial for modelling and shading in the retro-pixel art/low resolution texture style, sometimes referred to as "PS1 style graphics". This style has been popularised by the Crocotile 3D app and the Sprytile Blender plugin.

📧 This tutorial was specially requested through my website, based on my "Two Years of YouTube" celebration video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdZrxWZAiRY) so it is out-of-the-ordinary and thus am not planning to make more Blender tutorials. However, feel free to leave your requests in the comments and I might make more.

👋 I am also filming a series of game development vlogs based on a simple game I'm putting together in the Godot engine which uses this graphics style. If you enjoy this style of video, be sure to subscribe and tune in around June when I begin releasing them.
