Polygonal Graphics
A way of making 3D images using many small flat shapes called polygons.
What is it?
Polygonal graphics are used in video games and computer animation. Objects are built from triangles and squares. The more polygons, the smoother the object looks. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, games used polygonal graphics to create 3D worlds. The cover art you captured shows this style: the character is made of polygons, giving it a blocky but cool look. Tomb Raider was one of the first games to feature a fully polygonal 3D character, Lara Croft.
Why it matters
Polygonal graphics allowed games to move from 2D to 3D, making them more immersive. This technology changed how games look and play. It also influenced movies and other media.
Where you've seen it

多边形图形
使用许多称为多边形的小平面形状制作3D图像的方法。
它是什么？
多边形图形用于电子游戏和计算机动画。物体由三角形和正方形构成。多边形越多，物体看起来越平滑。在20世纪90年代末和21世纪初，游戏使用多边形图形创建3D世界。你捕捉到的封面艺术展示了这种风格：角色由多边形构成，看起来有棱角但很酷。《古墓丽影》是最早拥有完全多边形3D角色劳拉·克劳馥的游戏之一。
为什么重要
多边形图形使游戏从2D转向3D，使其更加沉浸。这项技术改变了游戏的外观和玩法。它还影响了电影和其他媒体。
