__Polygon Soup__ - The term for an arbitrary mesh in the context of physics and collision detection. See ((-Polygon)) and ((-Mesh)). A polygon soup is just a list of triangles and has no inherent structure, like ((-collision proxies)) or a ((-heightfield)). This makes it less efficient to collide against, but more easy for the users and content creators as they don't have to keep a certain structure in mind. Also known as TriMesh in some physics engines.
