Learn Grant Abbitt’s complete workflow for creating detailed low-poly characters in Blender, from base mesh to final render. This tutorial covers selective detailing, clothing, sculpting, decimation, and low-poly rigging.

Main steps

Base mesh

• Start with a simple base mesh outlining the character’s silhouette.
• Add detail selectively, focusing on areas needing more form.

Clothing

• Modify existing clothing or add new elements.
• Keep clothing relatively skin-tight to simplify rigging.

Sculpting and decimation

• Use sculpt mode for finer details.
• Decimate the mesh for a consistent low-poly look.

UV unwrapping and rigging

• Assign colors using a color palette.
• Rig the character using a pre-created rig or Blender’s Rigify add-on.

Lighting

• Create a dim environment with harsh directional lighting.
• Add contrasting backlights for a dynamic effect.

This tutorial is adapted from Grant’s comprehensive pathway course, offering over 30 hours of content for complete beginners.
