Low Poly XMas Tree
Creating a low poly Christmas tree in LightWave 3D involves modeling a simplified tree shape using a minimal number of polygons, focusing on geometric forms and flat surfaces to achieve a stylized, minimalist aesthetic. Start by constructing the basic shape of the tree, often a cone or series of decreasingly sized tiers, using basic primitives or manually creating the geometry. Then, add a simple trunk and potentially basic geometric ornaments or lights to enhance the festive appearance. The key is to maintain a low polygon count, emphasizing clean lines and flat colors. This approach not only ensures a quick rendering process but also aligns with the low poly art style, which is popular for its charming and retro digital look.
