I’ll be hosting a live stream in FIVE MINUTES where we look through all of the submissions so far!

(Don’t worry if you’re still working on your character, I’ll be doing another stream later for any entries we don’t cover today)

It should be super insightful ✨🤯🧐

You’ll be able to spot small mistakes, learn how to give your model that extra polish, reduce your poly count, and get inspired by everyone else’s progress 💖

Whether you:

- Have already submitted
- Are polishing your entry
- Or you’re still unsure whether to join

I think you’ll find today’s stream really helpful.

Guys, this is really happening!! ✨✨✨

By very popular demand, we’re hosting a *final* low poly character modelling competition of 2025!

And since so many of you jumped into the course during the Black Friday sale, I had to give you all a reason to create your own characters!

This time the competition comes with a unique twist!

You’ll get to choose between 2 low poly styles:

Option A — the classic low poly style under 1024 triangles.

Option B — the PS2-era low poly style with up to 10,024 triangles.

These will be judged separately! But you only get one submission… so choose wisely!

Just like the 1024 Challenge, I'll be reviewing ALL your submissions LIVE on this YouTube channel!

Here are the full rules:

1. Your model must be submitted before December 14th at 10PM CST. (Animations or static images are totally OK to submit!)


2. The triangle count includes all characters, props and environments in your scene. Make sure to label your triangle count in the submission itself!


3. Your texture resolution must be 1024x1024 or less for your entire character (including all props).

• OPTIONAL: One extra face texture for expressions is OK!

• OPTIONAL: One extra emissive texture is also OK!

4. Fan art is allowed — but your character needs a unique twist!

Don’t just copy an existing low poly turnaround and make it 3D. Give it your own spin. It must be transformative from your references!

5. One submission per person!


6. Using an inverted hull outline effect is OK! (No need to count the extra polys.)


7. Custom shaders are OK! Just keep procedural textures extremely limited or unused, since we’re aiming for a hand-crafted retro vibe.


8. Composited renders and image backgrounds are 100% OK! :)


9. This time, all submissions will be done through my Public Discord server through the #christmas-contest-submissions channel. Join the Discord here! discord.gg/T2snJde ✨

When your final model is ready, create a new thread titled:

YourUsername Contest Submission (Triangle Count)

Example: Crashsune Contest Submission (947 Triangles)

10. Lighting and volumetrics are OK!

Alright… let’s spread the word and get to work!!

But if you missed the Black Friday discount - you can still get the low poly character creation course at a discount for Cyber Monday today:

crashsune.gumroad.com/l/LowPolyCourse/CYBERMONDAY2… ✨

P.S. You don’t need the course to join the competition! It definitely helps since I teach you how to make a full custom character - but *everyone* is welcome. So feel free to invite your friends! 💖

P.P.S. *Your character doesn’t actually have to be Christmas-themed!* All submissions are welcome 🙂
