Why trees 3D model is weird shading in low poly art?

Low poly tree 3D models have weird shading because their few flat polygons can’t smoothly represent real trees’ organic curves, leading to harsh light transitions. - **Style trade-off**: Simplifying a tree’s complex shape (like branches or foliage) into sharp, flat faces means light calculates unevenly—creating blocky shadows or mismatched highlights that feel unnatural. This is a result of the style’s minimal polygon count. - **Quick fixes**: Add subtle vertex colors or use flat shading aligned with each polygon. This makes the style feel intentional instead of odd.
