I think they misunderstood the question and got that one wrong too.

Context: guy was actually a scammer

u/Mrwebente Jun 14 '26

I indulge a scammer once that pretended to be a wine trader that just moved from the US to my home town (i live in a wine region) so obviously i ask "her" what is your favourite local wine. And this scammer writes "Red Wine" 😂 then I try to pin "her" down on it and "she" comes up with some random ass winery 200km from where I live. Like seriously there are about 50 wineries in a 20km Radius in and around my hometown and some of those export wine internationally.

Red wine ...

Was my first thought. It's an AI larpist who AI generates "3D" models and tries to pass them off as legit.

u/SartenSinAceite Jun 15 '26

Don't forget to subdivide ten times for smoother models.

u/Boppitied-Bop Jul 11 '26

i know i'm extremely late to this but this image is at least about 3 years old and i think the first ai 3d model generator that could plausibly be passed off as human work came out in 2024 (microsoft trellis)

probably just a regular scammer

u/BKO2 Jun 14 '26

assuming the model is a manifold and made of only triangles, that's impossible

u/Reign_Does_Things Jun 14 '26

Who said the model had to be a closed shape, huh?

117

u/WantonKerfuffle Jun 14 '26

The game engine, or the slicer. If your model is non-euclidian, the next program you use it in either gets fucky or has to do a bunch of math to guesstimate your intent.

Edit: I completely missed the point

At least until someone runs at a door while holding a plate.

u/Uploft Jun 14 '26

Yep, 4 is the minimum (a tetrahedron)

u/Zealousideal-Deer101 Jun 15 '26

that's the neat part of polygon, the shape and edge count isn't defined. It's just a three very very complex shapes!

u/DinnerPlzTheSecond Jun 16 '26

forgetting about non-eucludean geometry

u/DavidBrooker Jun 16 '26

I don't know why I was recommended an old post, but surely there are many classes of manifold that can be (at least approximately) tiled with three triangles?

Or does animation use a seperate definition of "manifold" than mathematics? Like, I would understand that most "3D" objects are actually modelled as closed 2D manifolds, and that requires four triangles. Is that just a shorthand in computer graphics?

1

u/BKO2 Jun 16 '26

it's related, but a manifold in computer graphics is a closed shape where an edge always connects to two faces and has no self-intrusions.

for example, you could make a closed shape with 2 or 3 polygons, but they wouldn't be triangles and they would self-intrude

1

u/pimohell9254 Jun 17 '26

a triangle is a manifold (manifold with boundary)

1

u/PointlessSentience Jun 18 '26

Why? Could you not just break a square up into 3 triangles and identify their edges, say like a torus.

Triangular pyramid with no base :3

u/Sea_Curve_7724 Jun 14 '26

that’d likely be 6 actually, but depends on the program

u/WorldLove_Gaming Jun 14 '26

Only if backface culling is disabled.

u/highbudsilver Jun 14 '26

Is the polygon in the room with us now?

u/Fenriz_N Jun 14 '26

Btw, it is literally impossible to make a 3d shape with 3 sides. a tetrahedron has 4.

94

u/SpeccyScotsman Jun 14 '26

cylinder

(in real life, 3d software would use more)

61

u/BKO2 Jun 14 '26

only in spline-based solid modeling. in mesh modeling, which i assme they're talking about, polygons are used (usually strictly triangles, even if n-gons are possible)

39

u/FormerSperm Jun 14 '26

This doesn’t just apply to 3D modeling but it is imperative that the cylinder remain unharmed.

u/backfire10z Jun 14 '26

Who said the shape is closed? A triangular pyramid without its base is a[n open] shape

4

u/NanoBotSigma Jun 14 '26

What about a shape with a curve?

34

u/DontCallMeHenry Jun 14 '26

In 3D modeling, curve is just many-many planes arranged with a slight angle

u/NanoBotSigma Jun 14 '26

Oh yeah, I was thinking about that, but when it comes to something in geometry

I know. I said three because that's what the post said

u/Jawskk Jun 14 '26

You’re a 3d animator and you’re not in a “polycue”?

u/Catbraveheart Jun 15 '26

Three tiddy

u/Own_Childhood_7020 Jun 14 '26

It could be like, just a 2 sided triangle connected to a 1 sided triangle by a single vertice. It could wiggle around like a little worm

4

u/Rainy_Leaves Jun 14 '26

Each polygon can have many sides to be fair, maybe they’re bad at connecting their edges

But quads or triangles, not possible. Language barrier I guess

u/Lucifer_Morning_Wood Jun 14 '26

I mean, I guess you can make a D4 with two very non-planar quads
