A cube, as described in computer graphics is actually topological and notionaly a sphere. This can be evidenced by the 3 spoked poles at the corners of the object. A Cubic volume is easiest to calculate using this method but the technologies we currently use to display cubes are not robust enough to properly handle the idea that a cube is not a si sided object, but more correctly is an object with a planer top face, a planar bottom face and a side described by 4 planar faces. It is a prism. More specifically, it is a cylindrical prism with a rotational order of 4 and 3 planes of volumetric symmetry. The UV sphere used in computer graphics is actually much closer to the true topology of a cube than the cube is! Because the subdivision surface algorithms employed (namely variants of catmul-clarke) do not work well with triangles, a better representation of a cube is tricky ( but certainly possible!) to create. The three spoked poles must continue to exist but can be negated within the mesh by pushing them away from the corners. While they remain at the corners or any area of deformation, the object will have elements which are spherical in nature. When such an object is created, control over curvature and flow is significantly better than with the usual pole based topology. So a cube and a cylinder are essentially very closely related.
They are alike because they are both 3-D shapes
They are both three dementinal
They are alike because they are both 3 dimensional. They are different because the cube has 6 flat faces, but the cylinder has only 2 flat faces and one curved face.
square is 2D cube is 3D a cube consists of six squares
They have the same number of edges, faces and vertices.
yes! A cube is a type of prism. A prism is a subcategory of a cylinder. Then I cube is a type of cylinder
They are alike because they are both 3-D shapes
They are both three dementinal
They are all, technically, prisms.
they are both 3D but different shapes
They are alike because they are both 3 dimensional. They are different because the cube has 6 flat faces, but the cylinder has only 2 flat faces and one curved face.
they are not alike. A rectangle is 2 dimensional, a cube is 3 dimensional
Both are 3-dimensional objects, both have at least 2 bases, and both are in at least one way symmetrical.
Not alike
how are a cube and a pyramid alike
There is not much difference between a cube and a cylinder. The cube is a 3d square and a cylinder is actually 3d circle in a rectangle form.
a cube is a 3d square and a cylinder is 3d circle + rectangle shape.
