triangulated surface meshes

Triangulated surface meshes are a way to represent complex 3D surfaces using interconnected triangles. Think of them as a network of flat, triangular patches that together form the shape of an object, like a detailed 3D puzzle. Each triangle has points called vertices, and together they approximate the surface with precision. This approach is widely used in computer graphics, 3D modeling, and simulations because triangles are simple to process and can accurately depict a wide variety of shapes, from organic characters to architectural structures. The mesh details the surface while keeping the model manageable for computational tasks.
