NURBS POLYGONS & OPERATIVE DESIGN
INDEX Like most Breakfast foods, three dimensional models are tasty when combined with other forms. The following images are combinations and aggregations of polygons made to not only create a tasty, complete Breakfast but to also explore multiple operations using boolean procedures with 3D modeling.

COMBINATION Eggs are a sensitive, important topic for many people. They are an essential ingredient in a large number of recipes and taste great in a variety of combinations. Because eggs are a classic staple in Breakfast foods across the world, it is crucial that one knows a simple and easy method for creating the perfect eggs. The first step is to start with a cube primitive, forming the egg white with a combination of expanding and inflating operations on the vertices and faces. The egg whites should be rendered using the anisotropic material with an off-white, egg shell color. An ambient light and area light must be placed directly above the egg for proper presentation. The egg yolk is created by starting with a sphere polygon. After dividing the sphere into two halves, one half is deleted, while the other half is merged with the egg whites. Using the blinn rendering, the egg yolks are formed with a sunflower yellow color and lit with the same ambient and area light as the egg whites. The egg yolk and egg white serve as a decent combination not only in the three dimensional realm, but with a complete Breakfast as well!

AGGREGATION Whats better than an egg? Nine eggs. This is how you make additional eggs. The first step is to start with a cube primitive, forming the egg white with a combination of expanding and inflating operations on the vertices and faces. The egg whites should be rendered using the anisotropic material with an off-white, egg shell color. An ambient light and area light must be placed directly above the egg for proper presentation. The egg yolk is created by starting with a sphere polygon. After dividing the sphere into two halves, one half is deleted, while the other half is merged with the egg whites. Using the blinn rendering, the egg yolks are formed with a sunflower yellow color and lit with the same ambient and area light as the egg whites. After creating the first egg sunny-side up, copies can easily be made and aggregated using the pack operation.

COMBINATION Nothing beats the smell of bacon in the morning. To make bacon, follow these instructions. Start with a long, narrow rectangle primitive and divide it into twenty segments. Form the bacon’s zig-zag shape through a combination of bending and pinching operations on the polygon every two faces. Adjust the vertices to your preferred form. Next, divide the cube into three sections vertically. Render the two outside sections of the strip using the blinn material with a brown color. Use the a with a light brown phong E material to render the inside portion of the bacon strip. Select the entire object and use the smooth mesh attribute to round the edges. Place an ambient light and area light placed directly above the strip to highlight the contrast between the outside and inside material.

AGGREGATION Still hungry after that one piece of bacon? Don’t even stress, here is how you make more. Start with a long, narrow rectangle primitive and divide it into twenty segments. Form the bacon’s zig-zag shape through a combination of bending and pinching operations on the polygon every two faces. Adjust the vertices to your preferred form. Next, divide the cube into three sections vertically. Render the two outside sections of the strip using the blinn material with a brown color. Use the a with a light brown phong E material to render the inside portion of the bacon strip. Select the entire object and use the smooth mesh attribute to round the edges. Place an ambient light and area light placed directly above the strip to highlight the contrast between the outside and inside material. After creating the first bacon strip, more can easily be made and aggregated using the reflect operation.
