Turn Blender scenes into convincing PlayStation 1-style visuals in minutes
PSX Retro Tools is a free Blender addon for artists and indie developers who want low-poly, low-resolution, dithered, unstable retro graphics without building the whole setup from scratch
Who it’s for
- 3D artists<br>- indie game developers<br>- retro horror creators<br>- stylized animation tests<br>- anyone chasing real PS1-era visual flavor
Why use PSX Retro Tools?
Because PS1-style visuals are not just about low resolution
You also need the right mix of geometry simplification, texture handling, wobble, snapping, dithering, and post-processing
This toolkit puts those building blocks in one place so you can get results faster and iterate visually inside Blender
Features:
Low-Poly Simplifier — Automatically decimate and triangulate meshes for authentic PSX aesthetics
Low-Resolution Texture Baking — Bake all object materials into a single low-res texture, preserving UV layout and palette
Texture Generator — Generate base textures (checkerboard, gradients, for texture painting) with limited color palettes
Color Dithering — Bayer, Floyd–Steinberg, Atkinson, and more, with adjustable scale
Vertex Wobble — Geometry Nodes–based vertex jitter effect in the style of PS1
Vertex Wobble PRO — Hold frames, axis selection, per-axis amplitude, presets, instant modifier sync
Shadow Controls — Low Resolution Shadows mode and full shadow disabling
Vertex Screen Snapping — True vertex snapping effect
Render Presets — Quick PSX resolution presets, color depth options, AA toggle
Pixel - Perfect Upscale
