Quote - No, it's a thing of the past. You can use tris and quads even together, but not polygons of more than 4 points, and you must avoid coplanar polygons.

Um, if it please the court ... may I respectfully disagree?

Sorry, of course modern Poser will render them, but they are not allowed for items for sale at DAZ, and may sometimes generate problems for some applications and users.

So if you are modeling for yourself, do what you like, but it¡f it's for sale or others, make them a favor and don't use n-gons, please!

In my opinion, triangles are the most universally compatible, and they don't generate non planar geometry. Use quads if it works to decrease polygon count. Avoid polygons over 4 sides for compatibility and avoid bugs.
