Low poly represents a polygon mesh in 3D graphics that has a rather small number of polygons. Low poly meshes are present in real-time applications and contrast with high poly meshes in animations or movies. The term low poly is used in both a technical and a descriptive sense; the number of polygons in a mesh is an important factor to optimize for performance but can give an undesirable appearance to the resulting graphics.


In plain English, these are sharp surfaces with simple geometric shapes, beautified with interesting textures by designers to create really cool looking 3D models.


I started researching for this article thinking that I’ll get a lot of 2D low poly illustrations to showcase. My desire to do so started when I saw that in some circles 2D low poly or rather pseudo low poly became a really catchy thing. While researching I discovered that the big trend was in 3D, not 2D like I expected, but still managed to find a few 2D illustrations to showcase in this article. Apart from the 2D ones, I also added a few 3D low poly designs which look really good.
