5 pole and triangles?

Support Basics & Interface

Hi wonderful folks.

First of all. I am so amazed by the generosity of people here. Downloading reference images from Google for each other, uploading blend files as examples etc…

wow!

anyhoo, I am a complete newbie. The best thing I can do is make shiny spheres! But I see people here warning about 5 pole and triangle faces etc…

what are they, and why are they so bad? How do we fix it? And…should we only use for vert faces?

:confused:

Heres a link explaning about poles

Please nore blender can only use faces made of 3 or 4 vertices, the rest of the inoframtion on that site will probably be good reading for you as well.
