Hey, Crash here! The Low Poly Halloween Contest is officially CLOSED!! We ended up with 72 spooky characters, and I want to thank every single one of you who joined in. 💖 Making a whole character in less than 3 weeks is no small thing, so if yours is in there, be proud of it. c: No stream this time

Hey, Crash here! Today is the last day of the old price ‼️ SO much new content exclusive was added that the course price has gone up as a result. It was already the full journey from an empty Blender scene to an original character (that walks and talks!). But now we have even MORE cool stuff ◝(˶˃ ᵕ

Hey, Crash here! Woke up today and realized I should probably tell ya’ll We added subtitles + translation to 103 GIGABYTES worth of course videos for free! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻) Now you guys have access to the best version of the Low Poly Character course there ever was! Here’s what the course looks like no

This character was the beginning of a whole animated universe!? (,,•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ ,,)? It started as a doodle from a summer class at my school. But while gathering references, designing the character and coming up with the lore behind their outfit and how they look, I had a realization. To help me bring thi

Hey, Crash here! “I can’t draw” is the thing I hear most from people who want to make their own character but never start. So I recorded a whole lesson on fixing that! It shows how to design a turnaround drawing of your original character in Photoshop, or any free alternative like Photopea or Gimp.

Hey, Crash here! I want to talk about one piece of advice that I think does so much damage to beginners: “think big”. It sounds cool on paper. But here’s what actually happens. There’s a LOT of things you want to make. A game, an OC, an animation, all of it. And when you open Blender, Photoshop, or

Hey, Crash here! Two things just landed in the low poly character course, and I wanted you to hear it from me first. The first one is the tutorial I’ve been asked for more than any other: how to make a turnaround drawing of your own character IF YOU CAN’T DRAW. No drawing skills, no drawing tablet.

Hey, Crash here! I have this bad habit of letting all my objects clutter my view space and it gets to a point where I get quickly overwhelmed and… I end up losing so much time trying to navigate all the objects hanging around ( ꩜///꩜;)  BUT! Luckily Blender includes features that allows you to tem

Hey, Crash here! Deciding on a proper texture size for your character can seem daunting… …I mean, what makes for a “perfect size”? While there is no “perfect size”, there are a few things to keep in mind! It’s great to size textures in powers of 2. TONS of older hardware is optimized for it, and it’

Hey 💖 Crash here. 🎃 11 days left in the Halloween Contest! That’s plenty of time to make a spooky character of your own! Whether it’s horror, gothic or just a little bit dark… There are two categories, low poly and higher poly. SO! You can go as simple OR as detailed as you like~! ✨ Everything you

It’s no secret that math and I are not the best-est of friends 😅 And for the most part, doing 3D art is generally free from it. But there are times when its kinda necessary. Like, for example, say you are starting a low poly character by creating a cylinder with 8 faces for the body. Depending on y

Hey!! Just a quick heads up - the SPOOKTOBER26 voucher runs out tonight. If you or a friend have been thinking about the Low Poly course, this is the last chance to get it at a discount. https://www.crashsune.com/low-poly-course?utm_source=patreon&utm_campaign=2026-10-16 Thank you for being here 💖

Hey!! Anyone else always have an original character ideas stuck in their head? Bringing them to life then turning it into a 3D model is where people run into a tonnnn of obstacles, at least the first time. That's why I made the course as beginner-friendly as I could: following the core module, you c

Hey!! The HALLOWEEN CONTEST starts today, and I want to tell you about something that happened at the last one. Blulla (Mica) took first place in our Holiday Contest with her set of AMAZING Black Parade Low Poly characters. And shortly after, I ended up commissioning Mica to sculpt and model a chara

Hey!! Spooky season starts TODAY, and I have a little treat for you~ ( ¬‿¬) I'm about to announce something for the first time this year. It involves spooky stuff and low poly. I can't say more yet, but trust me, you don't want to miss it! 🌟 For now, here's a head start: an exclusive voucher for th

“I get I should do good topology, but how do I fix topology and know when it’s bad???” I hear this from students A BUNCH, so I thought I could share a couple tips for fixing topology for y’all! 🔹Duplicate Vertices Pretty self explanatory, with a super easy fix!: just select all of your vertices whi

In college, one of the first animation exercises we did was animating a walk cycle. Not gonna lie folks, it was a bit overwhelming. There are SO MANY ways of moving a character and principles to remember. But then, we got a tip from classic animation that made the task go from impossible to actually

Hey, Crash here! For the past 2 years, I've been building a library of FREE Blender resources, most of them made by me. And like any good Library, it's got THE most insane stuff for 100% free: 👻 My ORIGINAL characters, fully rigged and ready to use in your animations or games 🎃 A full tutorial ser

Hey ya’ll!! I just dropped my favorite tutorial of all time: The full WALK CYCLE tutorial ✨ Animation is what I went to college for, so this one got a LOT of love from me. I wanted it to be the most beginner-friendly walk cycle tutorial you'll find online, while still being genuinely highly detailed

Hey, Crash here! Just a quick one today, because the sale ends TODAY. The past few days I've been sharing tips from my course along with the AMAZING characters my students made. Honestly, seeing what they create is what keeps me going 🥺 But I also know 3D can feel like a HUGE wall when you're just

Hey, Crash here! I just HAVE to show you what my students made (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ Many of these folks had NEVER touched 3D before!! All they needed was 1 hour a day, and the characters are 100% theirs 💖 Next month it could be YOUR character in this email ✨ If you've been waiting for the right moment to jum

Hey, Crash here! I wanted to show you the full list of WHAT'S INSIDE the low poly character course. Because honestly, it's not even a standalone course anymore. It's a whole ecosystem of things that help you become an amazing low poly artist fast. Here's what you get: 0️⃣ Full intro to Blender UI, a

When newbies get to painting expressions, they think something like: “Since my character will have different faces, I’ll paint them in different files” But that’s often the wrong way of looking at it! It’s usually better to put all your expressions together in one single image file before you apply

I kept making the same mistake with my 3D characters… …their faces never looked consistent and took WAY too long to make🫠 So instead of trying each time from zero, I tried an experiment! What if I just used the SAME face for all of my models? (˵• ̀⩊•́˵) It’s all the SAME face shape here, modified s

Hey, Crash here! Don’t paint your shadows with just a darker color‼️ It makes your texture look chalky and usually never works. Basically, most of us paint shadows straight on top of the model with a darker swatch. But there’s a quick trick you can use to make them look WAY better! To get more natur

Hey, Crash here! A tip on making your 3D characters look like 2D art! It actually has nothing to do with using fancy lighting or rendering techniques. The stylized look comes from having an “inaccurate” setup that creates super sharp shadows. Basically, in realistic rendering, you have light wrappin

Hey!! Crazy fun fact- If you’ve looked carefully at ANY low-poly characters, you’ll notice that most of them don’t have any fingers! 😨 But how and why?! It’s a LOT more noticeable if you turn off the texture, because then it looks just like a mitten! But the reason why many artists avoid sculpting

Hey, Crash here! Just a quick heads up… Today is the LAST day to join the course at the OLD price 🚨 The voucher stops working tomorrow. Yesterday I dropped my new walk cycle series, and whoever joins today gets it right away, before it comes to YouTube c: PLUS you get lovely course exclusive Walk C

Hey, Crash here! Today is the day! :3 I just dropped the full tutorial series on making WALK CYCLE animations for your characters! ✨ Frankly, this is my favorite tutorial I've ever made… genuinely my animation tutorial MAGNUM OPUS It took a LOT longer than most of my videos, but I genuinely think it

Hey, Crash here! Special announcement time: Ya'll have been asking me for a very SPECIFIC tutorial series for a while. And I'm not saying anything… But it MAY or may not be getting added to the (already massive) low poly character course… …tomorrow! Yes, for free. For all students, whether you're on

Hey!! 👋Crash here :) Sometimes, I’ve felt that something’s missing from my renders… but it’s not a character or another object. If you’ve ever been in the same boat, it can be REALLY hard to identify what the issue is; it often doesn’t have anything to do with the actual scene. The problem might li

Hey!! If everything’s ever looked great in the viewport, but completely WRONG in a render; you’re not alone. I’ve been there too!! Before remodeling everything, check your camera!! It can COMPLETELY change how your model looks in a scene. And it’s all due to Field-of-View (FOV)‼️ A high FOV value ex

Hey!! Every animation you see in this game used to be a Mixamo placeholder. Not anymore! I want to talk about an indie game called IVOR. Not my project, but I’m lucky enough to be a small part of it! ^-^ I learned of this game at a tiny booth a few years ago when I attended a game dev conference cal

Hey!! UV unwrapping has made more people quit Blender than almost anything else I hear about. I get it. It LOOKS like the most technical, scariest step in the whole process. I used to hate it too, but it's not actually hard. Nobody just shows you the one tool that makes it easy. That tool is Seams!

THESE ARE THE HOLIDAY CONTEST 2025 WINNERS!!!! 🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL FOLKS, I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨 \(”˚☐˚)/ After carefully reviewing each and EVERY SINGLE submission again and again, the winners have been chosen! (So sorry for the HUGE delay in the review process folks 🙏) It seriously w

Hey!! Wanted to share the thing I've been chewing on this week. Designing a character is mostly remixing, referencing and blocking out shapes. You collect designs you love into a moodboard, you borrow the pieces that actually work… And you block your character out from simple shapes. I keep coming b

There's a whole side of my low poly course I never actually show you guys. I realized I never talk about the ACTUAL GOODIES that make up the course (ᵕ⸝⸝• ᴗ •) So I prepared this guide to show you guys EVERYTHING you get! First and foremost, we got the core tutorial series - around 4 hours of video w

Hey!! If you've ever stared at Blender and thought "I don't have what it takes" - I need you to read this. 82% of my students started as complete beginners. Never opened Blender before. Couldn't draw. Yet they finished a character anyway. Here's what that actually looks like: 💖 "I DID IT! I thought

Hey 💖 Crash here. Ok so, confession time - Love-chan, the character basically my whole course is built around, is made of a cylinder, some cubes, and 1 (one!) triangle shape for her neck. That's it. That's the model. I made her that simple on purpose, because I wanted anyone who's ever thought "I c

Hey!! I never thought I was a “creative person”…I had SO many excuses to stop myself from even trying to learn Blender for a long time. And it’s like that for SO many beginners I’ve talked to. But the truth is that anyone can learn Blender. So many people tell themselves: “I can’t draw” “I’m not art

Hey Folks!! Did I ever tell you the story about how I almost quit 3D completely at one point!?!? ＞_＜ Basically, there was a project I took FOREVER to finish And when I did, I'd compare it to other artists online and see a HUGE difference in quality. It was always a huge bummer! Especially because it

Hey there!

Over the past year, Crashsune Academy has grown from around 2,000 students to more than 5,000 artists in 2026! Watching so many people start their low poly journey made me realize somethin

Hey!! Have you ever found yourself staring at a blank workspace in Blender, feeling completely stuck? Designing characters doesn’t require the skills of a pro illustrator; you just need to know where to look for ideas and how to adapt them properly. To help you get unstuck, I have put together a lis

Hey!! What is the actual difference between Low Poly and High Poly modeling? Let’s break it down! ✨ Low Poly models have a lower polygon count. They are lightweight, fast, and perfect for mobile games or creating a distinct stylized visual look. Think of titles like Superhot or classic Minecraft. Th

Hey!! Often, beginners try to add as many details as possible, hoping it will make their work look cool. But in Low Poly, things work differently!! Want to know what separates a beginner from a pro? It is the ability to see the form. ✨ Fun fact Expert character artists often define their character’s
