So my main specialty as of right now is an Artist - I make original decals and logos. But today, I was looking through the Help and Feedback category, and found a whole bunch of Builders showcasing/asking for feedback on their builds. I was impressed by how detailed each build was, and I was sort of inspired.
Now, I don’t know much about building, or rather, anything. I watched two YouTube videos on Roblox building, and decided to make a simple and beginner creation since I was feeling a bit bored of designing logos and decals for the day.
I decided to make a simple tree for my first time building. And I did. But I thought it was too bland, so I made it into a fun little apple tree:
Yes. Along with the tree looking like this:
Instead of like this:
The apples are just squares, which is not what apples look like. At least try adding one of those stalks to the top of your apples.
Consider making the trunk not just straight, add some bends and curves.
And try adding roots too.
Low-poly builds almost exclusively use smooth plastic, so change your tree’s materials to be smooth plastic.
My biggest peeve being that it doesn’t have this shape:
For a beginner it is decent. However, if you’re going for the “low-poly” look, then sadly, you’re not doing it correctly. Well technically, it is “low-poly” since low-poly is an adjective used to describe something with a low amount of polygons. Yet a low-poly apple tree would probably look like this. Here is a good tutorial if you want to build things that look low-poly.
You’re better off using a 3d software to make a really nice tree it may take sometime to get use to 3d software, but it will help alot in the long run.
It looks like a good start for a type of tree, it would look better if you added some brighter colors such as using the correct material to achieve that design, I’ll go with the material such as Smooth plastic and Use a kind of tree green color for the leaves.
As for my feedback I can see the design your going for however change the scale of the leaves and the form of it, so like each leaf looks more unique and not as identical as the other ones, you’ve placed so you can make the tree have some more detail to it my suggestion is to include a few branches underneath the leaves.
I think you should try making a variety of shapes on the tree, so it doesn’t look like you copied and pasted the same leaves onto the tree. Maybe try resizing the leaves to resemblance a pine tree. I don’t know if this is the image your going off of but something similar to this could improve it.
G’day, as stated, you are trying to create a low poly tree. I would suggest making the texture all smooth plastic for a cartoon look, and also finding a reference image to help with your build.
Just my personal preference, but I do like the style the tree is in. I love the blocky style of building and low poly in general. This is a good tree for a beginner and you should be proud!
Can’t really say this is a low poly, I suggest you search up what low poly style builds are because your build is a simple Roblox style build. For your first build, it looks decent, it reminds me of the old Roblox
