Low poly

Low poly

Low poly is a 3D model that has a small number of polygons. Low poly meashes could be used to enhance the performance of the game but this can effect the graphics of the objects and characters in the game.

High poly

High poly is when a 3D model has a high polygonal count which makes the quality of the 3D model higher. High polygonal count is used for high quality games with a large budget, so the quality is better and they are able to run the games or animations at a high performance.

The polygon count effects the quality of the model. The more polygons used, the more detailed the model will be, but will require more processing power. Low polygon models are for models that use as little processing power but keeping quality. High poly models use high processing power with high quality.  

We then started to learn how to use the software, the interface, sizing, moving, segments and editable poly.

We then learnt about modifying the shape and faces. We experimented with the program to help our personal development. 

Then through a tutorial, we created a plane in 3ds max
