Crafting a low-poly war axe is an essential step for in-game use. This process requires attention to detail and a focus on functionality. The goal is to create an item that looks realistic yet doesn't overwhelm system resources. The first step involves deciding on the materials to be used, considering factors like durability and weight. Next, determine the shape and size of the axe head and handle. Keep in mind that a larger axe will require more detailed modeling, which can impact performance. Once the design is finalized, start blocking out the main shapes using simple polygons. This is where the term "low poly" comes from – low-poly models use fewer polygons to achieve the desired look. Use planes and extrusions to define the shape of the axe head and handle. Add texture and detail last, focusing on realistic wear and tear or any other visual effects you want to include. Test the model in-game to ensure it performs well and looks good from various angles.
