Triangles vs. Squares (WAS: Real Nurbs ?) 2004-02-13 - By Dave III
Back
Allow me to pounce on this statement to ask a question that has been bugging
me for a long time.
When modeling from scratch, is it better to work with square faces or
triangle ones? Is there, I don't know, greater stability over the size of
the mesh's file? Does it render better one way or the other? Does it matter,
or is it purely a point of personal preference?
