The style i have always loved for 3D models is the low poly simple style used in games for the PlayStation 1 in the late 90s. Particularly i picked upon three games which were Croc, Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. I feel that because of the way the characters in these games were initially designed, they could get away with using a low amount of polygons and it still looking great. What i mean by this is that they have added the most little detail possible, leaving only the essentials to model such as the eyes nose ears body and limbs. The rest is all done with textures, for example Spyros skin looks detailed but its simply a texture.
I tried very hard to find out who the 3D artists were who made these masterpieces but could find nothing. I think they should be credited allot more as these were some of the pioneers that has lead to cartoon based 3D sandbox games being made. I will try my best to use this style in my own model, and keep things as basic as i can.
