A triangle, or three-point polygon, is the simplest form of polygonal geometry. Polygonal modelling is a fast, intuitive method of creating 3D objects, but does not easily generate smooth curved surfaces. low poly: model made of few unsmoothed (flat) polygons high poly: model made of many smoothed (rounded) polygons   < Prev   Next >
