What is POLYGON MANIPULATION?
Polygon manipulation is a critical 3D modeling skill in the animation and VFX industries, focusing on editing and optimizing polygonal geometry to achieve detailed and precise models. This process involves adjusting vertices, edges, and faces to refine shapes, control topology, and enhance the structural integrity of 3D assets. Using industry-standard software like Maya, Blender, or ZBrush, polygon manipulation ensures models are optimized for animation, rendering, and simulation. Mastering this skill is essential for creating realistic characters, intricate props, and complex environments, making it a foundational technique for animators, VFX creators, and game developers aiming for professional-grade digital content.
