Creating a low poly winter scene can be a fun and rewarding project. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
1. **Sketch Your Scene**: Begin by sketching out your winter scene on paper or using digital drawing software. Determine the main elements of your scene, such as trees, mountains, buildings, and any other objects you want to include.
2. **Choose a Software**: Decide which 3D modeling software you want to use to create your scene. Blender is a popular choice for beginners and offers powerful tools for creating low poly models.
3. **Create the Terrain**: Start by creating the terrain for your scene. Use simple shapes like cubes, cylinders, and spheres to form the basic landscape elements such as mountains, hills, and valleys. Keep the geometry simple to maintain the low poly aesthetic.
4. **Add Trees and Vegetation**: Model trees, bushes, and other vegetation using basic geometric shapes like cones and cylinders. Duplicate and arrange these objects to populate your scene. Consider using textures or simple materials to add detail and color to your vegetation.
5. **Build Structures**: Model any buildings, cabins, or other structures you want to include in your scene. Use basic shapes like cubes and rectangles to create simple building structures. Add doors, windows, and other details as needed.
6. **Add Snow**: Use textures or materials to add a snow effect to your scene. You can also model snowdrifts or piles of snow on the ground and on the roofs of buildings.
7. **Lighting and Atmosphere**: Set up lighting to create the desired mood and atmosphere for your winter scene. Experiment with different light sources and settings to achieve the desired effect. Consider adding fog or mist to enhance the wintery atmosphere.
8. **Render Your Scene**: Once you're satisfied with your scene, render it using your 3D modeling software. Experiment with different camera angles and settings to capture the best view of your winter scene.
9. **Post-Processing**: After rendering, you can further enhance your scene using post-processing techniques such as color correction, depth of field, and adding additional effects like lens flares or snowfall in image editing software.
10. **Share Your Work**: Finally, share your low poly winter scene with others by posting it online or showcasing it in your portfolio. Don't forget to credit any resources or inspiration you used in creating your scene.
With these steps, you can create a beautiful and charming low poly winter scene to enjoy and share with others. Have fun experimenting and bringing your winter wonderland to life!
Hey Edwin, love your work. I've been using your spaceship as a placeholder for a space racing game I've been working on. I really like the style and I would like to pay you for some extra space ship models. Can I reach you via email / twitter? Prototype of the game: space.dries.io
@Edwin3D Thanks! We'd love to send you keys for the game, if you or someone you know have a Quest, so you can play and have fun solving and even cutting your own model and other models of course! (see sketchfab.com/pecopecogame/collections for the full list of models in the game)
Thanks a lot for sharing this model, we really like it! There's a lot of fun details, and the choice to not use any texture (not even on the signages or the flag!) makes it sharp even at close up distance. That's great for VR!
We like it so much that we are adding it to the very first series of puzzles in Peco Peco, our new VR 3D jigsaw puzzle game
(We also tried to send you an email, but weren't able to find your contact. Please reach out to us for example via our Twitter DM twitter.com/PecoPecoGame they are open :-)
Images are better than words to explain gameplay, so here's a gameplay video of Peco Peco, and the demo is with your 3D creation being solved as a puzzle!

That is like a great project! Low poly winter scenes can be so charming and effective. What software are you using to create it minidoodlepets.com/.

That's awesome dude.
Very nice
Thanks for the model very nice work
@NeeboObeen
Thank you 
One of the best, captivating, low poly scenes I've seen. Wonderful work.
@Hkyeng.Seng.Naw.Awng Hello! , I used Blender 2.79
What software do you use to model this?
