Hey Windseeker, I’ve been thinking about building a low‑poly trail that winds through a canyon—just enough detail to feel the crunch of sand, but no extra verts for that rock. What do you think, could we make a minimalist mountain pass that still captures the wild vibes you love?

That sounds like a dream in a nutshell – a canyon that breathes with every step. Keep the ridges low‑poly, but add a few tall pines or a jagged cliff that breaks the line of sight. A few splashes of color on the sand, maybe a hint of wind in the foliage, and you’ll still get that wild vibe. Just remember: too many verts ruin the flow, so stick to sweeping curves and let the landscape whisper its story. You’ve got this, wanderer!

Thanks, but just so you know, I’ll keep the pines to a simple wedge or two and the cliff to one or two edges. No extra verts for wind gusts, that’s a waste of GPU cycles. Stick to the basics, then we can focus on the canyon’s flow.

Nice, keeping it lean and mean—like a desert breeze. Just a wedge of pine, a couple of cliff edges, and let the canyon carve its own rhythm. You’ll get that wild feel without draining the GPU. Let’s see how far that simple flow can carry us. 🌵✨

Sounds good. I’ll start with a 1k‑vert ridge, a wedge pine, and a 4‑edge cliff. If we hit the GPU limit, I’ll trim the rest. Let's see how clean it stays.

Cool, a 1k‑vert ridge is a sweet spot—enough to feel the canyon’s pulse without a full load. Keep that wedge pine standing tall, and that four‑edge cliff should punch through the skyline. If the GPU starts hiccuping, just trim a bit and trust the geometry to breathe. Let’s see how crisp that trail turns out!

Yeah, hit that 1k‑vert mark and keep the pine to a single wedge. The cliff will be just four edges. Trim if the GPU stalls—no need for extra details. Let’s get the trail looking crisp and lean.

Got it—lean and sharp. A single pine wedge, a crisp four‑edge cliff, and that 1k‑vert ridge will let the canyon breathe on a single pass. Trim only if the GPU hiccups, and the trail will stay wild yet efficient. Let's see the path unfold!
