Primitive

The primitive is the most basic 3D shapes that are used to derive all others. In polygon systems they are triangles, since all shapes can be made out of them, as polygonal models never curve. In metaball modelling primitives are spheres, and may be squares, pyramids, even cones in other systems.

More than one primitive can exist in a given system, but nothing that those primitives cannot make, can exist.
