Thank you, but that only shows that I'm probably trying to use a term that has nothing to do with this, since it states the following: "The link of a vertex of a tetrahedron is the triangle." I don't get it, or how it related to this :frown: In my languange we say something like...

Hi English is not my native language and I have these type of questions all the time. I would like to know if the terms Linked and Opposed are correct when one wants to talk about the position of two vertices relative to a quad for example, as in: "Vertices A and C have an Opposed Relation."...

Oh by the way I was having a bit of hard time of seeing the Homeomorph between them but here it is:

Thank you for the clarification, it made my head become a Genus 2 (Open mouth smiling and ear canals :D) Replacing in my brain Genus = holes/handles by Genus = Cuts. Cheers

Hi I'm having trouble to fully understand the concept of Genus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus_(mathematics) Those examples are preety simple to me Genus = number of handles/holes. But what the wikipedia doesn't cover (at least visually) is when these handles or holes share space like...

It has to be shorter =P I want a name that is easy, short, and that is rational or feels correct. These vertices, especially the 3 degree and the 5 degree are under the umbrella of "Poles" And are designated of E an N by this author (i'm the poster but it's a transcript)...

Hi :) Well that's a bit like saying 4-point polygon. It's long and doesn't fit well a dissertation, I think (!), where you refer to many of these like a simple quantity. My wishful thinking was something like a -tex suffix (for example) and then I could go on and say "one 6-tex can be...

Hi In 3D modeling world, people refer to 3 sided polygons as tris, 4 sided as quads and >4 sides polygons as N-gons. Now, if I understand right, actually N-Gon refers to any. So instead of saying Triangle or Quadrilateral, I can say 3-gon and 4-gon and it would be correct, right? What about...

A - Mosaic Sphere - The Objective - So the usual sphere in 3D apps will make X sides incident in the pole and Y segments that are evenly distant. (How is this type of sphere called/designated?). Near the poles this sphere quads look very rectangular and some times that is not good. So, what i...

Hi I do 3D modeling and lately i have been trying to make some more theoretic diagrams about the whole thing. Sometimes i try to go through ways where math and geometry are needed (or so i think) and my background is not up to it. I'll use this thread to post some initial questions per post...
