The faces usually consist of triangles (triangle mesh), quadrilaterals (quads), or other simple convex polygons . A polygonal mesh may also be more generally composed of concave polygons, or even polygons with holes. The study of polygon meshes is a large sub-field of computer graphics (specifically 3D computer graphics) and geometric modeling
More complex polygons can be created out of multiple triangles, or as a single object with more than 3 vertices. Four sided polygons (generally referred to as quads) [1] [2] and triangles are the most common shapes used in polygonal modeling.
The curved surface, the underlying inner mesh, [1] can be calculated from the coarse mesh, known as the control cage or outer mesh, as the functional limit of an iterative process of subdividing each polygonal face into smaller faces that better approximate the final underlying curved surface. Less commonly, a simple algorithm is used to add ...
Yo Frankie! is an open source video game made by the Blender Institute, part of the Blender Foundation, released in November 2008. [2] It is based on the universe and characters of the free film produced earlier in 2008 by the Blender Institute, Big Buck Bunny. [3]
Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set that runs on Windows, macOS, BSD, Haiku, IRIX and Linux. It is used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, and virtual reality. It is also used in creating video games.
This method is also well suited for rendering quad primitives rather than reducing them to triangles, which provided an advantage when perspective correct texturing was not available in hardware. This is because the affine distortion of a quad looks less incorrect than the same quad split into two triangles (see affine texture mapping above).
The oldest game on the popular game distribution service Steam with the tag "low poly" is Mirror Moon EP, a space-themed exploration game with an emphasis on the low poly style, which was released in September 2013. In 2014, Richard Whitelock published Into this Wylde Abyss, a short, story driven survival game with a similarly low poly style ...
Ton Roosendaal (Dutch: [tɔn ˈroːzə(n)ˌdaːl]; born 20 March 1960 [1]) is a Dutch software developer and film producer.He is the original creator of the open-source 3D creation suite Blender and Traces [2] (an Amiga ray tracer which was the forerunner of Blender).
