BLB, quads or tris?
<< < (2/3) > >>
Demian:
I am quite sure BLBs use quads. If you really want to know, contact Destiny.
Marcem:
It's quads.  Look at any special blb and there are 4 coordinates for each face.
soba:
Yndaaa claims ingame they are rendered in triangles

Purely a guess, but I'd say all 3D engines render 3D models as triangles.
Wedge:
These images might help a bit, I'll have to see if I can get any better ones later. From them it looks like they're quads, but it's quite possible that all the editing I did obscured the diagonals. Interiors and dts shapes are definitely rendered with tris though.

Nope, there's lots of ways to render 3D. Off the top of my head you could also use voxels, raytracing, or vectors (think of old arcade games).
