Components in an object

Here is an explanation for components that composes a shape of an object.

Vertex/Line/Face

All objects in Metasequoia are composed by vertices(points), edges(lines) and faces.

A face is composed of multiple vertices.

Triangle Quadrangle Polygon

A cube in the following image is composed of 6 quadrangles and 8 vertices. A sphere is made up with 40 triangles, 360 quadrangles and 382 vertices.

Cube Sphere
# Face: 6 / # Vertices: 8 # Faces: 400 / # Vertices: 382

A complicated object like a violin is also composed of vertices, edges and faces.
