Yeah. Most of there games would fit in Underrated too.

... So would most of the games in here. Huh.

Dragonball: Origins is a game with the cartoony low-poly 3d I really like. It's a very nice looking (and playing) recent game for the DS. Screenshots are kinda crummy.

[Hideous]

What.

[ElTipejoLoco]

Apparently they're trying REALLY hard to keep true to the anime/manga?

I'm genuinely surprised, but I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.

[Biggerfish]

I haven't actually watched the original Dragonball, but it feels like it was taken straight from the anime, and it works really well.

Hideous; best cutscene in the game. curse the gap inbetween the ds screens!

[ElTipejoLoco]

Do recall the Hideous is a minor.

As is Bulma, at that point in time, I think. Not sure that makes it any less un-:gentleman:-like.

And if the game covers the entirety of DB, there should be a better, funnier part later on around the same tangent. Also, actually useful.

[ElTipejoLoco]

I don't recall what I was thinking when I typed that, either.

Apologies, I'm too sleepy to think straight at the moment and keep butchering myself in Spelunky.

Squiggly_P, any progress on the low poly tutorial with Blender? I'm SOOO looking forward to this 

[Squiggly_P]

I'm re-encoding a video right now as a part of that.  It's just a low-poly character.  I have some other stuff I'm working on as well.  A number of people on different boards were asking for lowpoly tutorials, so I started working on a number of them.  I was going to do one for the last character I made, but the video broke on me, so I did another one.

but yeah, it might take some time, heh.  i'm not well known for being prompt.

[Inanimate]

Well, any time is better than no time.

[Squiggly_P]

It's not really a tutorial, even though I say that word a couple of times in the video

It's more just a demo, but I try to point out some useful commands, little tips and stuff.  I figured that doing a 'tutorial' for 3D modeling would be kinda ...  i dunno...  not really worth it.  If it's a step-by-step then you end up getting good at making a specific thing, or you get stuck needing instructions for everything.  I figured I'd show more just the method.  Just to see someone modeling something and commenting on it.

Future videos will probably be more useful.  This is really just a test one.

Oh, and it gets super boring at times - especially towards the end the end when I run out of crap to talk about, hehe.  Also, it's not a typical humanoid character, so sorry if everyone wanted desperately learn how to just make a 'normal' human.  I don't do those often

[thaaks]

That's a nice "not really a" tutorial 
I learned a lot by watching it including a proper setup of Blender to start with. I will watch it some more times and try to understand some of the commands you use.
The edge modeling is a new approach for me but it also looks pretty tempting!
I'm looking forward to your uv mapping tutorial - thanks for all your efforts for the first one! Highly appreciated!

Cheers,
Tommy

I think it's worth making a distinction between low-end 3D and things that could actually be considered a union of pixel art and low-poly.

Most of the things posted in this thread have just been low-end 3D, in my opinion.

Yes.

I'm not sure if this was intended to be lowpoly, but it certainly fits the description.





Also...

It might lowpoly only because the computers weren't too advanced, but didn't pixel art get it's origins in the exact same way? Just because a limitation isn't necessarily decided upon by the author, it doesn't make it worse or send it into a different group altogether.
