First time trying 3D modelling, I'm proud of the outcome but some things don't look quite right (the butt, the feet). How would you improve it?

I plan to port it to a game engine and I'm wondering wether to animate it inside blockbench or in the engine (Godot) itself.

Should I even bother shading the pixelart if the game itself will have lighting and produce shadows?

Is there anything I should do to "optimize" my models? Maybe culling hidden inner faces or whatever

I would say it doesn't look terrible for a first model, although I would improve some things:

  • The butt of the pig isn't necessary and you don't have to actually model it, so I would just delete the cylinders of the butt
  • I would make the face a bit wider since it's looking pretty thin on the sides
  • I would change the position of the ear a bit so that it actually looks like it's attached to the head

Also to answer your questions:

  • I don't really have experience with animations for games, but I would probably choose to animate in Blockbench since you can just export it to a file format like glTF (including the animation) and then import it into Godot
  • Yes, you should still shade the model with pixel art. It can really enhance your model on top of the pre-existing lighting system of your game

@grave prawn thanks! yeah the buttocks are gone already 😄. A wider face seems like a nice choice too

#

I will take not terrible as a compliment :)

I was able to last time I tried

That's why I said I don't really have experience with it

#

Oh I just realized you could import animations from the model by exporting it through a file format like glTF or something lol

#

Well, I'm stupid

No, you just didn't know, can't fault yourself for that

No not really, I actually know this but at the moment I just didn't remember it for some reason
