Video games, 3D artists, and even illustrators are using simple polygons in their compositions to communicate texture and depth without sacrificing a minimalist aesthetic.īelow are some great examples of low poly art that span a number of different design styles, plus tutorials for creating your own low poly pieces. In fact, the low poly “look” has become something of a design trend. Technology has come a long way, but even today low poly is used to decrease render time.
Mocking up 3D scenes using a low polygonal resolution helped to reduce render times, which greatly sped up the development process of video games and animated movies. The use of low poly art comes from the early days of 3D animation. The “poly” from low poly comes from the word “polygon,” which is merely a 2-dimensional shape made of straight lines and angles. Simple geometric shapes placed side-by-side to create angular, often minimalist, compositions. If you’re not familiar with the term, you’ve certainly seen the style.
