Understanding Low Poly Modeling
In this chapter, you’ll learn what 3D models are made up of. You’ll learn about vertices, edges, and faces, and why they matter.
You’ll learn about polygon count and the differences between high poly and low poly modeling. You’ll learn about the different use cases for high poly and low poly modeling, and when to use low poly modeling. You’ll also understand how low poly is an art style on its own.
By the end of the chapter, you’ll have a solid grasp of how 3D modeling works. You’ll also understand what low poly means.
Here are the main topics we’ll be covering in this chapter:
- Understanding meshes
- Smooth versus flat shading
- High poly versus low poly
- Low poly as an art style
