Need help with low res low poly 3D

Hi

You don't have the range of controls in Photoshop 3D that you do in a full 3D programme but a few things you can do :

1. Restrict the pixel size of your image.

2. Keep to 8 bit

3. In 3D Properties for scene - set surface style to "flat". Unfortunately in Photoshop you cannot control the mesh to use fewer polygons - which would have made the surfaces more visible*

4. Limit the render quality in Preferences - 3D

* If you want greater control over the mesh use a 3D program such as Blender

Below is a sphere with normal 3D default settings and the steps above for comparison

An alternative approach using Blender to restrict the number of faces on the model and a posterize adjustment layer to limit the colour palette

You're welcome - have fun
