Low poly: a photo rebuilt from flat, faceted triangles
Low poly scatters points over a loose grid, adds many more along the edges of the picture, and joins them into a mesh of triangles, each filled with the single color found at its center and parted from its neighbors by a faint seam. Cell size 9 spaces the grid points widely, while Strength 50 gives edges a strong pull, so outlines stay crisp as large facets cover the calm areas. In the preview the crimson ibis is rebuilt from shards of red and maroon, its black beak becomes one dark sliver, and the water breaks into turquoise and cyan facets under a pale pink sky.
Make it yours
Choose the facet size
Cell size controls how big the base triangles get. At 5 the mesh is dense enough to keep the eye and the curve of the neck, and at 16 the bird becomes a handful of bold red shards, a strong look for a poster or an app splash.
Shift detail toward the edges
Strength sets how strongly points gather at edges. Push it to 100 and almost all the extra points hug the outlines, leaving big flat facets in the water; at 0 they spread evenly and the whole frame gets a uniform mesh.
FAQ
How does the Low poly preset decide where triangles go?
It measures where the picture changes fastest and places extra points there, on top of an evenly spaced base. A Delaunay triangulation then connects all the points into well-shaped triangles, so busy edges get many small facets and smooth areas a few large ones.
