Low Poly in Blender
Mastering Low Poly in Blender is all about bringing the iconic low-poly aesthetic into the modern era!
We will be combining retro inspired geometry with amazing simulations, real-life compositing, and photo-based texturing.
Over 5 thrilling, hands-on lessons, you'll discover how simple shapes can be transformed into expressive, highly stylized digital art using Blender’s latest features. Including modern compositor nodes, dynamic physics engines, and Rigify!
Kick off your journey by modeling a charming low-poly jam jar!
You’ll master the fundamentals of UV unwrapping and turn your own photos into custom, unique textures. Improve your model using displacement modifiers for dynamic 3D wiggle noise, then dive into Blender's modern Compositor nodes, crafting mind-blowing final visuals with color correction, procedural noise, and retro-stylized dithering effects!
Get ready to tear things apart! You'll build an iconic Ferrero Rocher complete with interactive packaging. Discover how to apply cloth physics to flexible wrapping so the foil layers unwrap, peel, and crumple naturally when pulled apart.

Bring your scenes to life with fluid mechanics! You’ll model a sleek soy sauce bottle and run a high-impact liquid simulation. Using Dynamic Paint, you’ll learn how real-time interaction maps canvas boundaries and controls liquid behavior inside a container.
Travel back to the golden era of gaming by modeling an original PlayStation console and controller! This is the ultimate texturing and animation masterclass: build a functional lid that opens, apply real-time physics to the controller cable, and harness animation modifiers in the Graph Editor to generate automatic, hands-free mechanical movement.
You’ll create a fully realized low-poly human character. Just like your instructor Abel, who will be modeling himself! Apply detailed textures effortlessly using stencil painting, and make your character performance ready with an advanced control rig using Rigify!
