How to Make Low-Poly Models with Pixel Texture | Blockbench Tutorial

Guided Notes

18 min

Key concepts students will learn:

  • Blockbench is a free low-poly modeling software often used for creating Minecraft assets, but it can also be used for general modeling.

  • When creating a model, it helps to break it down into a series of simple shapes, like using a sphere to start a Pokeball.

  • In Blockbench, you can paint pixels directly onto the model, and it will update the corresponding texture sheet as well.
