Understanding 3D styles

Hey!!

What is the actual difference between Low Poly and High Poly modeling?

Let’s break it down! ✨

Low Poly models have a lower polygon count.

They are lightweight, fast, and perfect for mobile games or creating a distinct stylized visual look.

Think of titles like Superhot or classic Minecraft.

Their charm lies in that exact simplicity!

High Poly is all about detail and realism.

A massive amount of polygons allows for capturing every tiny texture, from skin pores to fabric or scratches on metal.

This is the standard for modern AAA titles, where every detail matters, just like in Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077.

The main difference: Low Poly focuses on performance and style, while High Poly focuses on maximum detail and graphical power.

In 3D, there is no “best” style, there is only the one that fits your specific goal.

Happy creating! 💖
