To model a 3D low poly model, simplify forms into basic primitives (cubes, spheres) and limit polygons—focus on core shape and clear silhouette over tiny details for a stylized, minimal look.
Start by blocking out the base shape with primitives—this establishes the overall form without overcomplicating.
Refine details using simple extrusions or edge loops, but avoid over-subdividing (low poly relies on few faces to stay true to the style).
Prioritize a strong, recognizable silhouette—this keeps the design consistent even with minimal polygons.
For beginners, use free tools like Blender and practice with simple objects (e.g., a cube for a house) to master reducing polygons while keeping the object identifiable.
