Re: Editable Mesh vs. Editable Poly?
Most people (me included) use Editable poly instead of editable mesh... But it's really up to you...
Poly seems to be an "upgrade" of mesh tool, since (if my memory doesn't fail) it was introduced at 3dsmax v4, and it has more tools, BUT the key difference is how mesh and poly will convert the same object.
Mesh will converty every polygon into a group of triangles, and will show it to the user. Poly won't show the triangulation of the object to the user, making the modelling easier...
Just note that meshes have the sub-object "face", that selects polygons according to their triangulation
This is what i learned. It may be wrong, who knows? =)
And i don't speak english, so please don't complain about my grammar =P
