Could you list all the 3d representaitions you know? For example I know high order surfaces, polygonal, and signed distance fields. Do you know any others?
3d representations
Could you list all the 3d representaitions you know?
Yes, however the few I know would still take an hour to recite, why not just google "math topology"?
What is it you are attempting?

A google search for "math topology" brings up the field of math known as topology which has nothing to do with 3d representations. Do you have a better search term?
edit - also if you list a few of the more esoteric ones I'd be grateful. Just remembered point clouds.
What is it you are attempting?
I trying to learn the advantages and disadvantages of all the different representations to see if any have advantages that can be exploited.
Off the top of my head: Voxels, metaballs, parametric equations, subdivision surfaces, NURBS. Is that the kind of thing you were looking for?

Yeah thats basically what I mean although doesn't NURBS fall under high order surfaces?

Maybe. I'm not sure what "order" means in this context. Does it just mean "degree"?
- Boundary representations
- Triangular/polygonal meshes
- NURBS and other spline/higher-order surfaces
- Subdivision surfaces
- Volumetric representations
- Tetrahedral/polyhedral meshes
- Voxels
- Trivariate NURBS and other spline/higher-order volumes
- Subdivision volumes
- Other representations
- Primitives (spheres, cylinders)
- Implicit surfaces (signed distance functions, metaballs etc.)
- Constructive solid geometry
