Hi every one... first post here.

Im new to 3D modeling and maya.
I have a quick question.

Im building a poly head <my first> and hopefully will eventually animate it.
Ive seen some where that its not good to have triangles in the geometry.
is it better to have no triangles in the model at all?? or is it OK if you have a small amount??

thanX in advance!!

A few well placed Tris are okay, but avoid points that are intersected by 6 or more Vertices.
