Cylinder Triangles
From what I've been taught recently, is that you need to have no triangles in your mesh but how do you do that with a cylinder?
Do I just leave it? Or start again and create it differently? If so, how?
Thanks guys!

Keeping a clean mesh is important but a few triangles and ngons on non deforming geo are not going to make any difference.

If you work in games, tris are acceptable...but film is quads!
