Creating a Low Poly Death for the World of Hyrule, as seen in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Inspired by the character from Darksiders 2, this version is designed to capture his essence while navigating the graphical constraints of low poly modeling. Death's model consists of approximately 1500 triangles, a number that strikes a balance between detail and performance. His iconic scythe, a signature element of his appearance, is modeled with around 322 triangles. The focus on keeping the triangle count low allows for smooth gameplay and reduces the risk of lag or frame rate issues. This attention to detail in modeling ensures that Death's presence remains intimidating and imposing, even in the midst of intense action sequences within the world of Hyrule. In terms of texture mapping, a combination of subtle shading and color palette choices helps to create an atmosphere that is both haunting and mysterious. The overall effect is one of eerie silence, as if Death is watching from the shadows, waiting for his next move. The use of low poly modeling in this scenario presents several challenges, including maintaining detail while keeping the triangle count low. However, by carefully selecting key elements to focus on, it's possible to create a character model that is both visually striking and performance-efficient.
