Modeling a low poly car | Blender Tutorial

Modeling a low poly car | Blender Tutorial

 

So, first things first, let’s get our workspace set up. I love starting with a clean slate, right? Open Blender and delete that default cube. I mean, it’s classic, but we’re here for some wheels today! 

Next, we’ll add a new mesh. So go to "Add," then "Mesh," and select "Cube." You know, it’s funny how something as simple as a cube can turn into a car. 

Now, grab those transform tools and start scaling it a bit. You want to shape it into the base of your car. Remember, we’re going for that low-poly vibe, which means clean and simple! 

Alright, let’s make some modifications. Select your cube and go into edit mode. Now, hit “Ctrl + R” to add some loop cuts! Drag those cuts down to define the car’s body a bit more. 

This part is crucial: grab those vertices and adjust their positions to get that sleek look. I’m a firm believer that the magic happens in the details. Make sure you’re checking the shapes from different angles! 

Oh! And remember to use the proportional editing tool! It’s a game-changer. It allows you to move a bunch of vertices at once while maintaining that curvature. Just hit "O" to toggle it on and off.

Next up, let’s get those wheels on! Add a new cylinder mesh, keep it low-poly like the rest of the car, and position it right where it should go! Then, repeat that for all four wheels. 

This is where it really starts coming together. You can also add some simple but effective details, like windows or lights. Don’t obsess over textures yet; remember, we want low-poly, so simplicity is key! 

You’ll thank yourself later for keeping it clean and efficient. Plus, it’ll render quicker when you’re finished! 

Now let’s go ahead and set up a quick render! Switch to the render tab, set your resolution, and let’s choose some funky colors! 

Just look at that! It’s fun how something so simple can look so great! Feel free to play around with colors and lighting—it makes a world of difference.

And there you have it! A low-poly car created right in front of your eyes!
