# Vertex A [[vertex]] (pl. vertices) > [!info] Difference between Vertices and Points. > While vertices are sometimes described as the points of a 3D model, there is actually a difference between vertices and "[[Point|points]]". Some 3D software, such as [[Houdini]], make a clear distinction between these two concepts. The naming can vary depending on the software, the equivalent of points in Houdini in [[Blender]] e.g. is called "[[Point|face corners]]".
