Your Favorite Low Poly Model

Weltall-Id, from Xenogears:
It's lower poly than it seems, it's just very well textured. I mean, look at his hands, they're like 8 polys each. :D

Exactly my thoughts :O
Not as low poly as other examples in this thread, but still like it.
Sin and Punishment
Sin & Punishment's models might have polygons sticking out all over, but they endure close-ups better than most of their contemporaries because half their texture detail was used on their faces.
Their matchstick figure bodies would be an issue if those characters spent the entire game standing around like stiff JRPG puppets, instead they sidestep that issue thanks to dynamic and highly-readable poses.
They've done some seriously cool stuff with just a handful of polys.

Sin and Punishment and Racing Lagoon (& PassiveObserver's thread) are looking pretty neat.
Low poly art is great, especially when combined with low-res, pixel-art-like textures. I hope more people gain an appreciation for it soon.

What is this?
No but seriously those Mega Man models are amazing.
I legitimately believe that the PSP Project Diva games look way, way better than those on every later system. They absolutely nailed the faces, the colours, the textures -- all of it looks so much more appealing than the plastic-doll-esque look that the later games would go on to adopt.
I wish I had the chance to play this
Hah, I forgot I posted that.
It's some concept art for a 3D platformer prototype I was working on in my spare time a while back. A friend made the character model, and I did the environment art.
Two top-of-mind mentions from 1995 that haven´t aged particularly well but which impressed me back in the day:
-Top Gun: Fire at Will´s F-14 Tomcat (PC version)
-Bioforge´s main character
As obsolete as they look now, they were light years beyond what I had been playing until then on my old Mega Drive.

While those are gorgeous looking they're not really looking "low poly" to me. More just Chibi the plethora of rounded edges use a lot of polygons. Edit: Yea the artist says the Raven model is 3.5k.
Surprised it took 27 posts before these were shown.
lara. never did 4 polygons inspire a generation of horny teens
I think the F series still looks pretty good, but Arcade/Future Tone definitely look awful. But yeah, the PSP ones probably look the best out of the bunch.
It was partly the limitation at the time if you look at FFVIII and IX they too had prerendered backgrounds but the poly models are way beyond those in VII especially IX

It's pretty weird, they could have spent just a FEW more polygons to make that look much more natural. The rest of her body is much more rounded and realistic.
This. The Mega Man Legends games had a gorgeous visual style.Every single model in Megaman Legends.
Megaman Legends is low poly models at their best.
Oh shit, I forgot this game existed. I loved it. Great low poly models indeed.
