About the Low-Poly 3D style

Visual characteristics

Charming low-poly 3D art in 1994-2000 32-bit-console era visual style. Visible geometric facets with 200-500 polygon character models, affine texture mapping with characteristic warping. Vertex lighting creating sharp angular shadows, limited texture resolution 64×64 to 128×128 pixels with dithered gradients. Color palette: console gray, marsupial orange, dragon purple. That nostalgic 32-bit angular beauty of early 3D platformers and adventure pioneers.

Color palette

Colors specified in the preset recipe, not a guarantee for every generated frame.

  • #808080
  • #ff6600

Adapt the preset recipe

Select and copy the recipe below as a starting point. In Storyboard, choose My styles, create a custom style and open Advanced mode. Adapt the wording to your scene and the editor's 1,000-character limit; a Studio preset is not imported automatically. Camera and film references describe the intended look, not equipment used to create the preview or guaranteed animation.

Plan shots in the Low-Poly 3D look

  1. Step 1: Study the visual recipe

    Compare the Low-Poly 3D still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.

  2. Step 2: Build your storyboard

    Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.

  3. Step 3: Review before video

    Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
