Low-Poly 3D Portrait from a Photo

The prompt
Transform the uploaded photo into a highly detailed low-poly geometric 3D portrait while preserving the person's original facial identity, recognizable facial features, skin tone, hairstyle, and overall likeness as closely as possible.
Face and Art Style: Recreate the entire face, ears, jawline, forehead, nose, lips, and neck using hundreds of sharply defined triangular polygon facets. Use a clean, angular low-poly 3D mesh aesthetic with visible flat-shaded geometric surfaces. Each triangle should have distinct edges and carefully blended colour variations, creating a sculpted, faceted digital-art appearance. Avoid smooth, realistic skin rendering; the polygon geometry must be clearly visible across the entire face and neck.
Hair: Short, neatly styled dark hair constructed from angular geometric polygon shapes, with deep black, dark navy, and subtle burgundy facets. Maintain the original hairstyle and hairline of the uploaded person.
Lighting and Colours: Use dramatic two-tone lighting. The left side of the face should have cool icy-blue, silver-grey, and muted lavender polygon facets, while the right side should feature warm orange, copper, amber, and terracotta tones. Add deep burgundy and dark purple shadows between selected polygons for depth and contrast.
Clothing: A simple plain white crew-neck T-shirt with realistic fabric folds, softly illuminated by the surrounding coloured lights. Add a thin metallic silver chain necklace hanging naturally around the neck, with a prominent gold-and-black cross pendant positioned at the centre of the chest.
Background: A smooth red-to-coral gradient studio background, deep crimson and dark burgundy near the top, transitioning into vibrant coral-red and warm peach-orange near the bottom. Add subtle atmospheric texture and a gentle glow behind the head, without any objects, text, or patterns.
Composition and Camera: Vertical 2:3 portrait format, front-facing head-and-shoulders composition. The subject looks directly at the camera with a neutral, confident expression. Keep the head centred and relatively large in the frame, with the shoulders visible and the cross pendant clearly shown on the chest. Use a straight-on camera angle and balanced, symmetrical framing.
Rendering Quality: Premium digital 3D artwork, crisp triangular facets, hard-edged polygon geometry, flat-shaded surfaces, sophisticated colour blocking, strong tonal contrast, subtle ambient occlusion, clean contours, and professional digital-art finishing.
Important Instructions: Use the uploaded image as the identity reference. Preserve the person's recognizable face and original features while changing the rendering style, clothing details, lighting, and background to match this description. Apply the low-poly triangular effect consistently across the face, ears, jaw, and neck. Do not create a smooth photorealistic face, cartoon character, anime illustration, rounded 3D surfaces, extra accessories, extra jewellery, text, logos, or watermarks.
This idea creates a geometric portrait based on a person's photo. The style uses sharp triangles and strong color contrasts.
The subject appears in a front view with head and shoulders centered. The face and neck show many flat triangular facets in cool blue tones on one side and warm orange on the other. Short dark hair follows the same angular pattern.
A plain white shirt and simple chain with cross pendant sit below the face. The background blends red shades from dark at the top to lighter coral below. The overall look stays clean and digital with clear edges.
Usage tips
- Start with a clear front-facing photo of the person.
