Converting a general polygon mesh to a single long strip was until recently generally not possible.

Polygon mesh - A 2-dimensional surface created by a connected network of polygons.

There exist many different file formats for storing polygon mesh data.

Models created within the program typically start as a polygon mesh that can be manipulated with a variety of different tools.

Two adult human voxel phantoms based on polygon mesh surfaces.

Different representations of polygon meshes are used for different applications and goals.

A triangle mesh is a type of polygon mesh in computer graphics.

Optical 3D scanners can be used to create point clouds or polygon mesh models of external body features.

Low poly is a polygon mesh in 3D computer graphics that has a relatively small number of polygons.

A polygon mesh is a graph.

In Graphics Processing, the spatial transformation consists of a polygon mesh (usually triangles).

Mesh subdivision (a technique for adding detail to a polygon mesh)

One of the important parameters to optimize for 3D polygon mesh models is the numbers of triangles in the models.

In 3D computer graphics, a smoothing group is a group of polygons in a polygon mesh which should appear to form a smooth surface.

As well as such gameplay enhancements, the version also exploited the more modern hardware by using polygon mesh graphics in place of the wire-frames.

Combining polygon mesh models with CAD solid modeling (design of hip replacement parts, for example)

Mesh Subdivision is a technique used to add detail to a polygon mesh by breaking into smaller pieces the polygons in the mesh.

Creating polygon mesh models for rapid prototyping (to aid surgeons preparing for difficult surgeries, for example)

X (DirectX 3D polygon mesh) models and advanced visual effects such as atmospheric scattering or sun shading.

Texture fillrate - The rate at which a texture can be mapped by the texture mapping units onto a polygon mesh in one second.

These textures can be in the form of 2d or (rarely) 3d art that may be overlaid onto a polygon mesh to create a realistic 3D model.

So they are divided (tessellated) into a polygon mesh of small, easy-to-analyze pieces-usually either irregular tetrahedrons, or irregular hexahedrons.

When a model is created as a polygon mesh using a 3D modeler, UV coordinates can be generated for each vertex in the mesh.

T-splines, subdivision surfaces, NURBS surfaces, and polygon meshes are competing technologies.

A polygon mesh is a collection of vertices, edges and faces that defines the shape of a polyhedral object in 3D computer graphics and solid modeling.
