Poly to Poly

Also called poly2poly, poly to poly is about “drawing” a shape one polygon at a time. You create vertices and edges, extrude them, and join them to make faces, basically constructing the model as if you were building a brick wall. Again, you’d add a Subdivision Surface modifier to smooth the geometry you created.
