Creating Primitives

Primitives are the primary geometric building blocks in Bryce. You can create spheres, tori, cylinders, cubes, pyramids, cones, discs, and 2D faces.

By default all Primitives are assigned a flat gray color.

Derivative Primitives

Derivative Primitives are primitive objects whose shape is "derived" from basic geometric primitives.

Derivative Primitives were created so that you could skip some of the editing procedures on most of the basic primitives. For example, instead of elongating a cube to make it into a pillar, you can just use the Stretched Cube derivative. Instead of shortening a cube to make it into a rectangle, you can use the Squashed Cube derivative.

To create a geometric primitive, click one of the primitive tools in the Create Palette.
