Due to the technological limitations of the 90s, Toy Story used simple, low-polygon environments that focused on broad, recognizable shapes.
Basic but effective lighting helped establish a warm, homey atmosphere in Andy’s room. Textures, though simpler, were used strategically to make objects recognizable without unnecessary detail.
Pixar designed the world from a toy’s perspective, meaning that everyday objects like beds, desks, and windows were scaled up.
