polygonal
With multiple sides
Polygonal describes shapes or objects having multiple straight sides and angles, like triangles, hexagons, or octagons.
The term applies broadly in geometry, architecture, and design to characterize anything bounded by straight line segments rather than curves.
In video games and 3D graphics, polygonal refers to the flat-faced surfaces that combine to create models and environments: The early PlayStation era was defined by its blocky, polygonal characters.
