thanks this is really interesting

I have a question: are quads really just triangles with the inner edge hidden? in other words: do quads count as N-gons??

thanks

sorry, I meant polygons XD

So, for example, a primitive box is made of more than just 6 edges?

simply and clear explainations! easy to understand for new 3d comers:)

Just missed the part "Why using quads" since Icouldn't hear the reason of using them.

Can you explain more of that?

Thanks a lot!
