A 3D mesh is a digital representation of a three-dimensional object composed of vertices, edges, and faces. The more vertices and faces the 3D object has, the more fine-grained is the detail of it, but rendering such 3D objects becomes slower due to the increased amount of mathematical calculations needed. The optimization of 3D meshes by adding more detail through creation of vertices or removal of detail by merging vertices or by editing the model by editing the vertices is crucial for achieving photo-realism.
