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
