Dijitalden Doğan İllüstrasyon Tekniği: Low Poly

Abstract

Low Poly is a technique used to improve performance when rendering (recording) video games and animations created by reducing the number of polygons in three-dimensional models and scenes. It was first used as a design trend in games and later as a technique in illustration. It can be said that digital illustration is regarded as a field derived from traditional illustration, and the Low Poly technique is being reinterpreted as a technique derived from the digital medium. In this research, illustrations made with the Low Poly technique are examined by means of descriptive analysis. Illustration and digital illustration, which are studied under graphic design, have customarily been produced with traditional techniques. Producing a technique in the digital medium and reinterpreting it with illustration techniques reveals the positive effects of technology in this field.
