8Bit Yogi Bear

Image
So I found this tutorial to give your 3d models that 8bit look and had to try it. Make sure your mesh has even sized polygons or you'll get gaps like you see on Yogi's stomach..which happens to look like the WiFi symbol..haha

Select the newly created squares, give them a new surface name and subdivide the polygons using Faceted method . This will give us the edges we need later on. Bevel the N-gons just a little bit and then collapse the polygons. Select all the center edges that form a cross and bevel the edges until they roughly match the size of the squares. Merge Points , change the distance setting until you delete all the extra polygons and then delete all the 2-point vertices. Select the triangles with the surface name you applied earlier on and merge them into quads. Select all the quads (4-point polygons) and copy into a new layer. If you're not concerned with the heavy polygon count, you can subdivide the polygons ( F...

Just a few architectural gems I found in Izmir..sadly, there's very few of the great buildings left.

There's another great speed modelling challenge at 3D Total forums...here's a viking helmet, done in 115mins. I spent half the time trying to work out how to do the diamond grid. I might do a tutorial on it soon :P
