by-product of cleaning up my computer, i've assembled *roughly* all of the loops etc i've made. some are awful, some are funny. barinky.bandcamp.com/album/vol-ii

ERGS-0000 HALCYON wip (BIRDCAGE from @polygonbird.games goes incredibly hard)

WIP mech almost done texturing, then it's getting added to that city i posted before. #lowpoly #mech #wip #aseprite

maybe not entirely done, more WIP. #lowpoly #city #picocad #aseprite

texturing, decided on this palette -> lospec.com/palette-list... #picocad #lowpoly #city #3dmodeling #aseprite

been 🤒, progress has been slow. mapping out my textures and wound up w/ a MadWorld 1bit WIP. #lowpoly #picocad #aseprite #3dmodeling

osprey WIP (i'm about halfway through texturing, realized i hadn't posted the full model yet though!)

\\ step 5 - assembly \\ some changes made, minor and major. i decided to use a different palette, and re-textured what i had done up to that point. the environment stayed mostly the same, added planes all over for falling snow. #3dmodeling #picoCAD #aseprite #lowpoly #3dart #WIP

\\ step 4.1 - more texturing \\ i'll probably add more detail to the mech, but i'm going to move on to the buildings and environment first #texturing #3dmodeling #picoCAD #aseprite #3dart

\\ step 4 - texturing \\ even though i now have 3 separate models combined, they have to share the same texture file. additionally, i'm using an unsupported palette, so the image out of picoCAD isn't wholly representative of the actual texture. #lowpoly #picocad #3dmodeling #texturing #pixelart

\\ step 3 - background modeling \\ at this point, combining the background model w/ the previous mech model breaks picoCAD, so work becomes a bit siloed between each part (legs, body, background).

\\ step 2 - initial modeling \\ i use 2 different programs during this phase, picoCAD and the picoCAD toolkit (by jordanfb on Github). once i get close to the file size limit w/ a vanilla picoCAD model, i'll start a separate model (to be merged via the toolkit) main mech body:

\\ aforementioned process thread \\ i make loops first, until one kick-starts an idea for a model/scene. here are two from this weekend that give me some ideas for next steps. i use a EP–133 K.O. II (stock sounds) and record into Reaper.

i plan on making a general guide for my process (mostly for the #picocad discord) but i'll also document it here. in the meantime, here are the parts that make up my previous model/scene. all models are <16kb (picocad file size limit), and captured via lucatronica.github.io/picocad-web-...

a little peek behind the curtain. even though i'm working across multiple picocad files, i can only use one texture file (due to picocad toolkit limitations). i try to be as judicious as i can be when texturing more complex models, so i don't run out of space. #texturing #picocad
