Especially when raytracing, it is much simpler to check against an intersection with a plane and then check triangle bounds.
And for rasterizing, it is easier to supply hardware features that work on triangles (always have a fixed number of vertices). It keeps the chip size and complexity down
Polygons aren't made of triangles in rendering. Polygons are 2d and can just be rendered as they are. When you hear polygon count in 3d rendering, they're talking about the triangles, because they're the polygons used to make stuff. A basic cube is counted as 12 polygons, not 6, because it's made of 12 triangles.
Not necessarily, Sega Saturn (I think) was using 4-sided sprites as polygons, and there are/were also vector-based and voxel-based graphics. Nothing is preventing you from using arbitrarily sided polygons when creating your 3D from scratch.
Agreed! That shape is a circle that's been squished evenly on three sides. But I wonder what the name of it is. There has to be a name for that particular shape, right?
So, the top three triangles make a triangle (19) and that similarly can be repeated 5 more times within the arrangement (24) then there's 3 medium triangles made from 6 of the small triangles (27)
Now from that top 3 triangle, mirror that vertically, you have 3 upside-down white triangles making another upside-down triangle (28)
This is the true test. If anyone is confident about 26 that means they thought they were smart enough to see the 6 negative space triangles but in reality they weren’t smart enough find the other negative space triangle, which would have been obvious if they hadn’t got caught up in being right
It's a trick question. The triangle number doesn't matter. Only a narcissist would be so petty and need to prove their intelligence to prove they know more than others. You lost, bro.
a point is a zero-dimensional object that represents an exact location but has no size, length, or width. Zero-dimensional objects aren’t real, therefore triangles don’t exist.
10: individual triangle
6: individual negative space triangles
6: groups of 3 triangles
3: groups of 6 triangles
1: group of 3 negative space triangle
1: group of 10 triangle
The post never specified that the triangles had to follow the mathematical/geometric definition of them, only the coloquial one can be inferred from the lax context.
After which, the number of triangles depends on whether you consider the empty space between 3 triangles to be another triangle.
Ok for the sake of the argument let's say those are actual triangles. How on earth does that say anything about any potential narcissist trait of any given person
There are 27:
10 small triangles, 6 triangular empty spaces, 6 large triangles of length 2, 3 triangles of length 3, 1 triangle encompassing all the triangles, and 1 made out of three empty spaces in the middle.
Nah, I was autistic way long before I saw 27 or 26 or 28 or 0 triangles. But I'm well adjusted. Now I'm focusing on the fact someone drew a penis on the commenter's name.
Well, there are infinitely many points there so there are infinitely many triangles. It is not my fault that many of them are invisible to a untrained eye.
I’m reading through these comments and I have no idea what the hell is going on. I thought this was a joke aboutha ha triangles have corners so there are no triangles.” What’s happening?
Well, this is a 2d representation of 3d objects. But if we're already going to be technical, these are tiny squares arranged and colored in a way that we preceive as shapes and colors
Well, technically there wouldn't be triangles even in a traditional representation of triangles, since every picture of a triangle will have a resolution, be it pixels or atoms. Defined this way, a triangle is a concept and cannot exist in the real world, so technically these guitar pick shaped forms are as good as any other if we interpret them as such.

Is this a polygon count lol
Well yes and no, all polygons are made up of triangles.
triangles are polygons
Triangle is a polygon made of 1 triangle
A polygon is a shape with n sides. It is just commonly broken down into triangles because GPUs can process them easier
i think it's because 3 points in 3d space will form a plane. imagine trying to form a single plane out of the vertices of a tetradedron.
Especially when raytracing, it is much simpler to check against an intersection with a plane and then check triangle bounds.

Monogon?
no, a trigon, and a study of trigons is called trigon ometry
You're a polygon.
All polygons can be divided into triangles.
It seems strange to say they are "made up of" triangles when there are multiple contradictory ways they can be divided into triangles.

Yea, we got it.
could be a shader
What if those are in 16k resolution?
Technically a circle
hello topologist
All I see are a bunch of socks.
all i see is a bunch of bowls
thats crazy i see straws with the end taped shut
oh damn i see a picture of someone
Agreed! That shape is a circle that's been squished evenly on three sides. But I wonder what the name of it is. There has to be a name for that particular shape, right?
As an engineer this is just a triangle with filleted edges and corners
The equivalent for a four sided squish is called a squircle, so maybe a ciriangle or a trircle?
Edit: looked it up, and apparently the generic name is epitrochoids, so these would be three lobed epitrochoids
how so?
One long, curved edge with zero corners.
Thanks I hate it
topologist, you can smoothly shape the things into circles if they were like clay
Yeah you topologists and wanting to turn spheres inside out.
i turned my sphere inside out!
Welcome to the 4th dimension!
without using the 4th dimension!
Cool, now do it in three. Be careful you mustn't tear or crease the material. (Note: yes - the material can pass through itself.
Squircle
Tricles?
Cirangle
I thought it was a picture of a cow.
I count 26 and fuck everyone else but my amazing self.
Oh, yeah, I see how it works.
I got 27
I got a rock.
I got a bowl of soup
I’ve got a jar of dirt! I’ve got a jar of dirt!
And I…
Am Steve
I got an arrow with a peculiar design, poked someone with it and they started yelling something about a crazy diamond
I got a headache.
Yea me too
Me three
I got 18. I have no idea how you get more.
The white spaces between the colorful triangles are also shaped like triangles. Also the three white triangles in the center make another triangle.
Triangles made of triangles
Certain groupings of 3 triangles/negative triangles make a triangle in themselves
Oh, I didn’t know we could count the negatives. I got 19 otherwise.
Edit: 18…accidentally counted a “triangle” twice
So, the top three triangles make a triangle (19) and that similarly can be repeated 5 more times within the arrangement (24) then there's 3 medium triangles made from 6 of the small triangles (27)
Now from that top 3 triangle, mirror that vertically, you have 3 upside-down white triangles making another upside-down triangle (28)
I got 28
i got 29
I got 29 1/2.
I got 30.
Also got 28
Did you include the negative spaces to get 27?
Same
Yup the tricky one for me was the 3 negative space triangles that make one triangle in the center.
Oh yeah I missed that one. Thank you
I got 28. There’s one in the capital A.
10 individual "triangles" 6 "triangles" made from a set of 3 3 made from a set of 6 1 made from all 10 6 in the negative spaces between the 10
I also get 26. Unless they're counting some nonsense outside the box thinking to get more than that
Edit: thank you all for pointing out the inverted negative 3 piece triangle.
there's a 27th in the upside-down triangle in the middle
Holy moly, there is!
You forgot the one made of three negative spaces (with a yellow in the middle) So, 27
Upside down triangle of 3 negative spaces
I too got 26 but went looking, think there's a negative space set of three upside down triangle in the centre
This is the true test. If anyone is confident about 26 that means they thought they were smart enough to see the 6 negative space triangles but in reality they weren’t smart enough find the other negative space triangle, which would have been obvious if they hadn’t got caught up in being right
Pshh no the true test is realizing that there is another triangle in the text at the top because it has an uppercase A and that the real number is 28
So then the real TTT is 1 isn’t it?
in Krunk’s voice
No, no…. He’s got a point.
*Kronk
The O for Kronk. The O specifically used for Kronk. Kronk’s O.
Pull the lever Kronk.
Wrong leverrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I bet he’s got three points
28
To determine…if you’re a narcissist…? Goodness Facebook is a scary place these days
Reddit isn't much better, most of internet is shit these days
Always has been.
Then 0 is wrong because "A" still contains a triangle.
Then you're not a narcissist but a psycho, congrats mate
You mean, there’s a triangle in the A hole?
Yeah, I was going to say 2.
Same; I think it's 2 triangles.
One for the triangle in the A and one for the word "Triangles" in the original post.
Nah, it's a bunch of small squares since it's on a screen so there's still no triangles.
u/Active-Chemistry4011 might be a narcissist
It's a fact. Mathematical fact. Agreeing with the comment that states mathematical truth does not make me a narcissist...
It's a trick question. The triangle number doesn't matter. Only a narcissist would be so petty and need to prove their intelligence to prove they know more than others. You lost, bro.
It’s a puzzle not a math problem. There’s 27. Don’t forget the upside down one in the middle.
I did forget that one, thank you.
Does that include the upside down negative space triangles?
yes.
But what shape is the opening inside the capital 'A'?
There’s one in the A
There are two A’s.
Good catch, missed the second
Found the narcissist
27
this is the correct answer. assuming we can count curved edges as triangles
The number of triangles you see will determine if you're a pedant.
Oh no! am I PREGANANANT???!!!
a point is a zero-dimensional object that represents an exact location but has no size, length, or width. Zero-dimensional objects aren’t real, therefore triangles don’t exist.
Also I only count 24
Yep, he’s a narcissist. Works like a charm.
10: individual triangle 6: individual negative space triangles 6: groups of 3 triangles 3: groups of 6 triangles 1: group of 3 negative space triangle 1: group of 10 triangle
10+6+6+3+1+1= 26
(Now we wait.)
27, There is another upside down triangle in the middle that looks kind of like a triforce.
Thank you for the help.
You fell for my little trap. Don't you know I'm a narcissist?
How about a rebuttal to your semantics.
The post never specified that the triangles had to follow the mathematical/geometric definition of them, only the coloquial one can be inferred from the lax context.
After which, the number of triangles depends on whether you consider the empty space between 3 triangles to be another triangle.
There is exactly 1 big orange phallus.
Sounds like a mathematician... definitely a narcisist
Ok for the sake of the argument let's say those are actual triangles. How on earth does that say anything about any potential narcissist trait of any given person
I didn’t bother to count any triangles. What does that mean?
Why is anything anything??
Because reasons.
There are 27: 10 small triangles, 6 triangular empty spaces, 6 large triangles of length 2, 3 triangles of length 3, 1 triangle encompassing all the triangles, and 1 made out of three empty spaces in the middle.
You forget that the word "triangles" appears three times.
The "technically the truth" is that this commenter is the narcissist?
what if I look at it and I just ADHD zone out
i counted 27
Doesn't specify you have to see them when looking at the image. It's just the number of triangles you see.
There's still one inside of the capital "A"
No triangles, only shapes reminiscent of triangles.
It’s less about “does the image have triangles” and more about “is your lived experience triangular”.
The number of triangles you see will determine if you're autistic
Nah, I was autistic way long before I saw 27 or 26 or 28 or 0 triangles. But I'm well adjusted. Now I'm focusing on the fact someone drew a penis on the commenter's name.
The capital A forms a triangle.
Notwithstanding the post that said 0, I count 17.
Well if your counting the whole assembly as one then your missing the individual triforces.
Those look delicious
I’m looking at a few million dots actually.
27
I counted like 26.
Like, 10 common, 6 gaps, 6 made from 3 common and 1 gap, 1 made from 1 common and 3 gaps, 3 made from 6 common and 3 gaps and one full.
There are, not is
10 🙂
theres 17
GAH!
tri-rcles
What about the upside down ones?
I counted 17
I got 20 which might not be enough
About 6-7
What about the 6 negative space ones?
Well, there are infinitely many points there so there are infinitely many triangles. It is not my fault that many of them are invisible to a untrained eye.
27
There are FOUR triangles!!
I’m reading through these comments and I have no idea what the hell is going on. I thought this was a joke aboutha ha triangles have corners so there are no triangles.” What’s happening?
I got 3^3
What is this shape called then? Trianval?
What, you want me to count them? What do I get?
It's 28
Well, this is a 2d representation of 3d objects. But if we're already going to be technical, these are tiny squares arranged and colored in a way that we preceive as shapes and colors
Triangular shape
🤓
Well, I counted twenty.
Does that make me a narcissist?
I see more of them than I can count without losing track. At least 26
i'm still trying to figure out why the OP said Zero, clickbai? could've borrowed line from C.K. "...prove me wrong.'
They're close enough for most people to call them "triangles" in normal contexts, which means they are "triangles". This is how languages work
I counted 21 by including the shapes they make up within the larger structure
as a dev who is familiar with gpu programming, i believe this image is composed of 2 triangles
There is only one, in the negative space of the uppercase letter "A".
Wait till he learns about Reuleaux triangles
There are no triangles in the real world. They only exist as concepts.
Just one. Me.
theres 3.6x10^52 triangles
Them are triangles and im not entertaining any argument otherwise. This is the shapes version of a grammer na*i.
Try angles
There are*
27 if you want to go crazy
22
If I allow my triangles to be round and count triangular empty space, there are 25. :)
Wrong, because all the pictures that we see in our phones are Two dimensions shapes
Sounds like a narcissist alright.
A photo is in 2D.
They have rounded edges
There is one, in the "A"
Could you argue that these are a form of Reuleaux triangles?
All I see is a bunch of electron clouds
Well, technically there wouldn't be triangles even in a traditional representation of triangles, since every picture of a triangle will have a resolution, be it pixels or atoms. Defined this way, a triangle is a concept and cannot exist in the real world, so technically these guitar pick shaped forms are as good as any other if we interpret them as such.
Dammmmmmmm
I counted 9, what that mean lol
There's one inside the A
The word “triangles” appears only once in the original image, therefore the answer is 1.
why do i see 17
👆👇...👈😔
There is a triangle in the capital letter A. Boom!
All I can see is that someone drew a red cock and balls on the left.
Can you just try angles...
The shape that your orange censor looks like a dick
There was one "triangle" in the original post. The commenter added two more
