Triangle, its just the second best to the Hexagon.

Hexagons are the bestigons

Good news everyone! I can see several hexagons in this image.

A hexagon is just six triangles in a trench coat. So triangles are ultimately better.

Fight me CPG Grey

Doing the things a triangle can.

Fuck the icosphere, all my homies use the UV sphere! /j I love both for different reasons

What’s he like?

And if you zoom really far in it's kinda circles again

Fun fact: The first Nvidia chip, the NV1, used quadrilaterals for primitives rather than triangles because it was based on and somewhat compatible with the Sega Saturn. However around the same time MS announced that DirectX would exclusively support triangle primitives and the rest was history.

... fuck you're right.

A NEW HAND TOUCHES

HELL YEAH!

That's a nice unwrap

The Bacon

Pythagoras would be so proud of us

It's so beautiful! Love this version.

Clearly not rendered on a Sega Saturn.

You misunderstand CPG Grey.

Triangles are the best angles.

Hexagons are the best agons.

How does the right net make a sphere

You gotta manipulate the sizes of the little squares before. Otherwise it turns into a cylinder with pointy ends like I'm betting you imagine. 😊

Today I learned quads was ever used and not something 3D modelers smoked up.

I don't get it, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Send help though

So thats the thing ablut UV unwrapping the UV Sphere, because the lengths of the edges are allowed to be distorted, what should be closer to trapezoids making a bunch of slightly rounded slices can be distorted slightly to squares/rectangles without real significant distortion when applied to the object with the exception of the triangle fan at the very top and bottom.

If we were unwrapping this to completely minimize distortion at top priority, a UV sphere would look closer to the Polyconic Map Projection.

This is a popular meme template about finding y in a x factory, the original being about a cricle in a triangle factory.

The joke here is that computers usually render all 3D shapes from a bunch of triangle, so of course the sphere (which I guess only looks like a circle) is of course made of triangle because everything is.

but if you zoom enough you'll realize its actually squares. always has been.

Enhance.

The squares are made of circles, which are arranged in triangles.

All these squares make a circle

Rectangles are just 2 triangles if u think about it

Aren't modern screens rectangle LEDs?

Doesn't a space Odyssey need a space Odysseus?

Shhh.

But how can we see if our eyes aren't real?

Aren't diodes literally triangles though?

TIL, thank you! That explains older graphics, like Laura Croft and their edgy-polygon shapes

Counterpoint: dragons.

Imagine!

The icon in schematics is, but I'm not seeing anything that indicates a physical diode is. Got a source?
