There are 2 versions of low Poly. One is for games. I think that’s what your professor might have bean referring to. The other Low poly is HiPoly art characters or models for film use. for instance I have a dragon that I have done that is 12k faces un-smoothed. That is the low poly version. The face count is so high because of the level of detail on it. However it is called Low poly because that is the un-smoothed or proxy cage version that people work with and tweak. I mean 12k faces I can deal with, but try tweaking the vertices on 230k faces. That’s what the model is after 2 smoothes.
