This free Blender plugin delivers instant '90s nostalgia

Demo of a free Blender plugin that can create retro PS1-style low-poly 3D models.

We've seen quite a debate recently about the merits of retro low-poly game art. Former Final Fantasy programmer Koji Sugimoto isn't a fan of the revival, but the survival horrors Sorry, We're Closed and Crow Country show that gamers are drawn to the nostalgic look of blocky characters and environments.

Many 3D artists working in Blender the aim for photorealism. But if you do want to create visuals that look like they could come straight from the original PlayStation, one developer is offering a package of free tools that provide a simple one-click solution for instant '90s gaming vibes (also see our guide to the best places to get free game assets).
