Polygon meshes are collections of vertices, edges and faces used to define the shape of a 3D object. They are used in computer graphics and solid modeling for applications such as Boolean logic, smoothing, simplification, ray tracing, collision detection and rigid-body dynamics. Volumetric meshes are distinct from polygon meshes in that they represent both surface and volume. Mesh generation methods include the marching cubes algorithm.
