In the Mesh tool we have 3 options under the Model Tab.
If we start of with All Ridges Sharp, we can see that the mesh becomes very triangulated.
This is the simplest form for the computer to generate, but is not much good for rendering
The Second Option is User Defined Sharp, This means that the contour lines we use will produce a sharp definition, however the ground between the contours will be smoothed out.
