Polygon modeling is exactly what its name implies, a model of polygonal terrain, such as a battlefield, cityscapes, or perhaps a religious pilgrimage. But then, is the debate really worth it? Polygon models may not be the cutting edge of computer graphics, but who cares? If anything it is probably a debate for the sake of debate. And yet the polygon model itself remains steadfast as a fundamental design concept. Architects, engineers, interior decorators, interior designers, and even students all debate the merits of polygon modeling. If there is any subject in engineering that is more debated than the actual definition of "Polygon," it has to be the field of polygon modeling or design.
