CreateBox : per face color ?

A thought came to me and in future if I am talking about the triangles that are the fundamental shapes that are used in mesh construction I will use the term triangular facet or just facet (as in the facets of a diamond) .

 

So a cube has 6 faces each face made from two facets.

 

As this is not universal I will probably have to explain it every time I did so (sigh) . On the other hand I doubt if it will crop up in conversation very often. :)

yes, I agree

 

Using the term facet for the webgl geometry context only would be less confusing.

 

facet = basic brick, used only in the construction domain or webgl context

face = the continuous surface bounded by some edges in a mesh, geometry of the global mesh

side = a independent plane face in a mesh, geometry of the global mesh

 

The triangle is the great winner of the confusion contest : it has one facet, one face and one side and all are the same :P
