PS1 Style Texturing & 3D Modelling Tutorial | Blender & Texture Ripper Walkthrough

In this tutorial, learn how to create PlayStation 1 style textures and models using Blender and Texture Ripper. We’ll walk you through extracting image parts to use as texture maps, downscaling them for a pixelated, retro look, and adding color dithering to mimic the classic PS1 aesthetic. Then, we dive into Blender 3D modeling, where we recreate a vintage CRT TV with a PlayStation 1 console, showing how to model low-poly assets with retro textures.

What you'll learn:

How to use Texture Ripper for texture extraction.
Downscaling textures for pixelation and applying color dithering.
How to model and texture retro assets in Blender, including a CRT TV and PlayStation 1 console.
Achieving a low-poly, PS1-style aesthetic for your 3D models.
