What is Triangle Mesh?

Introduction

Represent a 3D shape as a set of triangles. These triangles are made up of connections of vertices

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Standard representation for graphics
  • Explicitly represent 3D shapes - we can know the exact surface of the object

Cons:

  • Nontrivial to process with neural nets
