Bumping this thread again because #ngons
Sorry for the spam, but I'm going to start posting all of my ngon hits from the other site into this thread for safe keeping and posterity.
Without further ado, ngons used both in production and personal work that I am particularly proud of:

"No ngons on deforming areas". True for low poly, But can sometimes be fine in high poly.
Here's an example of a configuration of four 5-sided ngons and two 6-sided ngons. I also applied the animated deformer BEFORE the subdivision.
Shown without wires first and isolinear wires after. #ngons

i assume my mesh was corrupted in some way, it happens. but i have no non manifold geo or ngons. and mesh and joint deformations are quite literally some of the simplest 3d math ever. so like. what is the issue man

I'm real tired of seeing 3d amateurs ripping models from games to make fun of the topology. you still think ngons are bad because your Intro to 3d Modeling instructor told you that's how it was in 1997, be real.

Happy 4th of July, where we celebrate our freedom from quad-only tyranny.

Eyyyy, whatdya know! I didn't use ngons on a multi-flow intersection for once!

It makes me both sad and annoyed that students are taught to avoid #ngons. I don't mind that if you don't know how to teach advanced topics to encourage students to look into it on their own time.
But to teach ngons are wrong? That's irresponsible and destructive for their growth as artists.

bridson + delaunay + boundary tris removal + ear-cutting+ relax + dissolve some edges + dual + create some "rip" edge chains, tagging whether ground will fault left/right-wards + tag some ngons as beach + floodfill inland growing height respecting the rip constraints + subdiv #indiedev #gamedev
