@MoreThot Nope, Triangles. Triangles are polygons, but polygons aren't necessarily triangles. All polygons that have more than 3 sides can be broken down into triangles. The polygon count is the total number of all polygons ( including triangles ), while for the triangle count, the polygons are broken down into triangles, so it's not longer a mix of n-sided polygons and triangles, it's all triangles. For instance, say there is 1 quad, and 1 triangle in a scene. The poly count would be 2, but the triangle count would be 3 because a quad is broken down into 2 triangles.
