Maya Polygons

Polygons

3D shapes are made on an xyz axis. Connecting x y and z points (verticies) together creates a polygon. Polygons are 3 or 4 edged shapes that make up 3D models. Complicated 3D objects require a high number of polygons.

Polygons can be manipulated and created using many different tools like the scale and move tools. Using many polygons will allow for more detailed shapes and curves, but will make simple adjustments more difficult.
