The models were often resistant to compile, producing monstrous extrusions, amputations and composite forms. A mesh file acquired through photogrammetry will not be a well-formed object without substantial work. Despite the logic of simulation through calculation, things may not compile as they should. Algorithms are buggy, automatisms glitch. It will need artisanal assembly, retopology and cleaning to produce an efficient model. Low polycount is a matter of honour in online communities where render time, draw distance and level of detail are crucial to user experience. Low polycount is a kind of downsizing, or working to minimum specifications, a cultural form of austerity. It is achieved by decimation, a technique of cruelty, the enforcement of social responsibility through terror. The reverse process can be weaponized; a heavy mesh will crash you:
