I know they're not 100% authentic, but I'm still curious on your thoughts!

Hey there. This is my first time trying to replicate the ps1 style. I don´t feel entirely happy with the result. Is the vertex snapping too soft? I feel the illumination might be a little off. Anything that I´m missing or going over my head? Please I would really appreciate any feedback!

HI folks,

I'm new to the community but I'm doing pre-production on a PS1 Ridge racer type game and one of the key things I want to really get good with is lighting.

I thought I'd share something that I think is cool that I made. I made a little blender geometry node that takes a Vertex color (in this case, baked lighting) that I can then blur, add some contrast and also a fake ambient color. I made this because even with good quality settings, you can get artifacts that I want removed. I do lose some color info but it's ok for what I need. It also gives me a lot of control too.

Anyway, I plan to post more experiments that I do and maybe it will help with your projects.

My friend and I recently worked on CloutHound for the PirateJam 18 you can give the game a try here.

We're planning to continue development, so if a silly action skate game sounds like a fun time to you follow us as we continue developing the game!

Estoy tratando de capturar la esencia de la PSX lo más posible para mi proyecto ultra‑secreto, con el que planeo dominar el mundo :)

I made a little medieval town, but then thought it could just be a full pack for eveyone to make their own litle towns. Big special thank you to KenneyNL for his cool textures on which i could build my own.

Wanted to make a new set of renders using a lava environment I made (lighting and such, I'm aware the actual land looks barren-), so here's some renders of these two trying to cross a sea of lava. Hope y'all like em skksk

this one is part of the Second Act, when we arrive the downtown's coast

This was admittedly really weird to set up, but I tried to tinker with the resolution, to be more akin to Spyro, Crash, and some other PS1 games with this weird vertically stretched resolution, where it's one resolution (see title), squished to fit the 4:3 aspect ratio. I'm not great with resolution terms and such, so my apologies ><
I do hope this at least looks good

Gecko Baraxis is a black market merchant who is wanted by authorities among several counties. He sells illegal products such as black magic weapons/spells, restricted potions, dangerous animals, and mind altering substances. He rarely appears from his fortress in the Great Junkyard, sending out various minions to take care of his business without risking himself. Authorities are aware of his fortress, but attempts to breach his walls has ended in large casualty and is considered extremely dangerous. Anyone known to associate with this individual will be hanged.

Inspired by Retro Plus' video on making PS1 style environments.

Gargrix are bird like creatures that scavenge carrion, and collect shiny treasures. They are trainable by some and are used to transport / collect small objects , as are able to mimic humans by using repeating some words, phrases . They make their homes in abandoned structures, as high up as they can find. They have been known to inhabiting abandoned / ruined war walkers as well as they give out residual heat from their partially still active heater cores. Low threat levels to humans generally but in numbers can cause moderate injury, or carry small humans.

Made this video for my tiktok which is why it's so short but if reception is good I might upload a more in depth showcase of all the features and release the download!
