Can I have some tris in my model made up of quads?

Question

Firstly, I dont have that much experience with blender or 3d modelling. Im making a character for a unity project and would like to know if my model should only be made up of quads or is it ok to have some tris in it as well.

I only ask because I've been ending up with a few tris when I'm near to completing the model.

Also what are some ways of converting tris to quads manually. I have used the "tris to quads" option without success.

Thanks for the help.

Unity only struggles with N-gons, which are polygons made of 5 or more vertices, so you shouldn't have problems if you have some triangles in your model.

Thanks, I actually searched a lot online and couldn't find a clear answer. – Hozeis Mar 06 '18 at 17:43
No problem, I didn't find it on the internet either, a videogame design teacher told me that. – Nobinberg Mar 08 '18 at 10:35
