In this video, Louis du Mont from CG Boost shows how to create a low poly parrot robot, painting and optimizing pixel textures, adding a simple rig, and exporting for real-time use, all inside of Blender.

Main Steps:

• Modeling the Parrot:

• Start with primitives and use modifiers like the mirror modifier.

• Utilize the loop tool to create circular shapes.

• Focus on creating half of the character for efficient UV mapping.

• UV Mapping and Texturing:

• Create UV maps with generous margins for low-res textures.

• Use constant falloff brushes to paint base colors and details.

• Add shading and highlights using an overlay texture method.

• Rigging and Animation:

• Add bones and set up a simple rig with weight painting.

• Create start and end poses for a basic animation.

• Use bounce motion interpolation for a dynamic effect.

• Exporting the Model:

• Prepare the model for real-time applications.

• Export in GLTF format for use in viewers or platforms like Sketchfab.
