Mesh Topology
Mesh Topology is the way points, lines, and faces connect to form the surface of a 3D object in digital modeling. Changing the mesh topology can help make smooth curves or sharp edges, and it can make the model easier to edit or animate. Good mesh topology lets designers add details in the right places, like around eyes or joints in a character, without making the whole model heavy. Using loops and clean edge flows helps keep the shape strong when bending or moving parts of the model. Mesh topology can be changed after the model is built, using tools that let designers add or remove points and lines to get better control over the final look.
