Stub

The terms high-poly, high-res, and polylicious are used to refer to models containing an unusually high number of polygons. This allows a model to have more detail and be more morphable, but requires a larger amount of computing power to render? it.

In theory, a high enough poly figure would be indistingushable from reality. At unimaginable resolutions the simplest collision detection? algorithms could be applied to not only force models to work in ways similar to the outer world, but to actually duplicate real world physics.

However, computers powerful enough to do this for more than a simple single-celled organism do not yet exist.
