Is a Low-Poly style less laggier than a detailed one?

[azahid1]

I’m considering making a low poly game, and I’d like to know if it would be less laggier than a normal one.


Arguments for both sides

• A low poly style tends to take up more parts.
• A low poly style doesn't have textures.

Thanks in advance!

A low poly style tends to take up more parts.

I think quite the opposite, less details means less parts needed!

Overall a low-poly style is almost always more performance friendly because:

• as you mentioned, little to no textures.
• usually less parts due to an absence of small details.
• less vertex/geometry data (especially for meshparts).
