[Bf-committers] Difference between Mesh and BMesh object

[Brecht Van Lommel]

There is documentation on BMesh here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Modeling/BMesh/Design

In a nutshell, a mesh representation like BMesh with more connectivity
information is much easier to to write modelling tools for. On the other
hand it's less memory efficient, so we mainly use it for mesh edit mode and
some modifiers.
