Useing triangels only is a good way for modeling for games. Using 4 sided or more. Polys is normaly how the higher poly count art models are made as its eazyer to look at them and understand how there put together. (least to me) also the deformations with skinning and other things are more predictable with 4 sided ones.
You can go in and just delit the one cross edge if you want to on this model. Or when you are makeing a new model use 4 sides alot. there isn't anything that keeps you to 3 sides with the polys.
Need more info just let us know.

i didnt really quite get what you guys are saying, (still a very noob) can you maybe point to a reference or docs where you know about that stuff?
all i'm doing right now really is just modelling from tutorials without knowing about quads or triangles etc what you guys are talking right now...
sorry for being off-topic if ever i am

I find my self wandering how you ended up with all tryangles and you trying not to. All the primitives, (basic starting shapes) that maya crat are made with quad faces. Did you tryangulate ?

"Why do most of the commercial or really good models look different from mine. Each polygon looks like triangles and mine don't, why is this?"
so Danny did answer correct
