Postgraduate Certificate in Low Poly Modeling in 3D Studio Max.

Low poly modeling is a 3D model creation technique that is characterized by using a reduced number of polygons to create objects with a simple but stylized appearance. This technique is commonly used in the production of video games, animations and other motion graphics projects, as low poly models are usually easier to handle and less heavy in terms of data loading.

In 3D Studio Max, low poly modeling is developed using the following steps.

Preparation: Before starting the modeling, it is important to have a clear idea of the object to be created and its characteristics. It is also important to set up the scene properly for modeling.

Creating primitives: 3D Studio Max offers a variety of primitives, such as cubes, spheres, cylinders, and other basic shapes, which can be used as a starting point for low poly modeling.

Polygon reduction: Once the basic object has been created, the number of polygons is reduced using tools such as the "collapse" function, which joins two or more polygons into one without affecting the overall appearance of the object.

Vertex and edge adjustments: After polygon reduction, the vertices and edges are adjusted to shape the object as desired.

Texturing and materials: The object can be textured and assigned an appropriate material, which improves its appearance and realism.

Lighting and rendering: The lighting of the scene is configured and the final render of the model is generated with the appropriate settings.

Low poly modeling is a technique used in the creation of 3D models that involves the use of a reduced number of polygons. In 3D Studio Max, the process is carried out by creating primitives, polygon reduction, vertex and edge adjustments, texturing and materials, lighting and rendering. The result is the appearance of simple but stylized objects that are ideal for video game applications and motion animation.
