This guide describes the modeling features in Autodesk® Softimage® that are specific to polygon meshes. For information about features that apply to other types of geometry as well as polygon meshes, such as deformations, see the Modeling and Deformation Basics guide.
• Fundamentals of Polygonal Modeling
Basic concepts of polygonal modeling, including special selection commands that apply only to polygon meshes, and how to control their viewing and rendering properties, such as smoothness, and using geometry approximation settings.
• Modeling Polygons & Polygon Meshes
The many ways to create and modify polygon mesh objects.
• Subdivision Surfaces
Creating a high-resolution polygon mesh object from a low-resolution one and using the low-resolution mesh to control the high-resolution one.
