Animation: Patch GridsTypes of Patches

• Max supports two types of patches:
  • quad patches
  • tri patches

• Quad patches are generally more used because they usually deform more smoothly than tri patches.

• When you create a quad patch, you can define length, width and number of segments.

• When you create a tri patch, you define width and height. To increase the density of a tri you must first convert it to a editable patch.
