The principle of this mesh is that it separates the body of the object into small sections, on which another mesh will be overlaid containing the outer covering of the object, its skin and texture. Each section of the two meshes is placed in such a way as to correspond to the desired part of the body, as can be seen in the 3D model of the tiger.

These meshes are attached to each other with polygons, which are other created digital surfaces on which the texture mesh will rest.
