Lesson 4 & 5 : What is Mesh ?

● Vertex
○ It is simply a point in three-dimensional space.
● Edge
○ An edge is a straight line formed by joining two vertices.
● Face
○ Closed areas by connecting minimum 3 vertices are called face.
● Polygon

Mahesh Gurjar
○ A polygon is made up of different closed planner shapes having straight
sides.
○ The most commonly used shapes in 3d polygons are triangles and
quadrilaterals (Quad)
● Mesh
○ A mesh model consists of vertices, edges and faces that use polygonal
representation, including triangles and quad, to define a 3d shape.
