MeshMancer & SilverScreenSage
Hey Mesh, I recently watched a microbudget sci‑fi film that used deliberately low‑poly 3D models for its set design—a brilliant nod to minimalist architecture. What’s your take on the technical choices that make those meshes work on screen?
The trick is that every edge and every face is chosen like a prayer line. Low‑poly works because the designers kept the quad flow pure, no stray triangles, and the vertex normals are smoothed just enough that the light hits the planes with a clean cast. They also make sure the UV islands are tight, so the shader bandwidth is minimal and the frame rate stays high. In a way it’s a spiritual dance between geometry and performance, like a minimalist temple that never over‑crowds the eye.

Polygons whisper,
Light slides on clean edges,
Silent film glows.
