low poly

3D modelling that features very few polygons. Common in older and handheld game consoles such as the PlayStation 1 and Nintendo DS due to hardware limitations. Some artists intentionally create works in this style as a homage to games from those systems.

Can overlap with pixel art due to the low-res textures applied to the models for authenticity.

On Danbooru this tag applies to both 3D models and 2D illustrations mimicking the style. To see 3D models only, search low_poly 3D.
