  2. Conway polyhedron notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_polyhedron_notation

    Meta adds vertices at the center and along the edges, while bevel adds faces at the center, seed vertices, and along the edges. The index is how many vertices or faces are added along the edges. Meta (in its non-indexed form) is also called cantitruncation or omnitruncation. Note that 0 here does not mean the same as for augmentation operations ...

  3. Geodesic polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesic_polyhedron

    All vertices are valence-6 except the 12 centered at the original vertices which are valence 5 A geodesic polyhedron is a convex polyhedron made from triangles . They usually have icosahedral symmetry , such that they have 6 triangles at a vertex , except 12 vertices which have 5 triangles.

  4. Rhombic triacontahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_triacontahedron

    Let φ be the golden ratio.The 12 points given by (0, ±1, ±φ) and cyclic permutations of these coordinates are the vertices of a regular icosahedron.Its dual regular dodecahedron, whose edges intersect those of the icosahedron at right angles, has as vertices the 8 points (±1, ±1, ±1) together with the 12 points (0, ±φ, ± ⁠ 1 / φ ⁠) and cyclic permutations of these coordinates.

  5. Polygon mesh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_mesh

    Introduced by Baumgart in 1975, winged-edge meshes explicitly represent the vertices, faces, and edges of a mesh. This representation is widely used in modeling programs to provide the greatest flexibility in dynamically changing the mesh geometry, because split and merge operations can be done quickly.

  6. Edge (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_(geometry)

    In geometry, an edge is a particular type of line segment joining two vertices in a polygon, polyhedron, or higher-dimensional polytope. [1] In a polygon, an edge is a line segment on the boundary, [2] and is often called a polygon side. In a polyhedron or more generally a polytope, an edge is a line segment where two faces (or polyhedron sides ...

  7. Polygonal modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygonal_modeling

    The subdivide tool splits faces and edges into smaller pieces by adding new vertices. For example, a square would be subdivided by adding one vertex in the center and one on each edge, creating four smaller squares. The extrude tool is applied to a face or a group of faces. It creates a new face of the same size and shape which is connected to ...

  8. Boundary representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_representation

    Boundary representation is essentially a local representation connecting faces, edges and vertices. An extension of this was to group sub-elements of the shape into logical units called geometric features, or simply features. Pioneering work was done by Kyprianou in Cambridge also using the BUILD system and continued and extended by Jared and ...

  9. Seamless3d - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seamless3d

    It allowed the user to create smooth shaped triangle meshes and join different meshes together with tangent matching surfaces at the joining edges using a C++ compiler. [11] By February 2003 Seamless3d had been transformed into a GUI-based 3D modelling application with a file format designed around VRML format. This allowed Seamless3d files to ...
