interesting words
post about obscure, yet useful words!
"albedo" is the quality of reflectiveness.
it's kind of common, and most of the forum's users would likely know this, i suspect, but a 0 degree view, where all 3d objects are viewed as though they're right in front of you, without their vertexes being distorted depending on how far from the center of your view they are, is an "orthographic" view.
does anyone know the antonym for the word "side"? as in, a similar umbrella term for both front and back; almost like an 1 dimensional application to an object capable of movement in 2+ dimensional space. i randomly became interested by this

Re: interesting words
IDK if I should contribute to this thread; the vocabulary I have in mind might earn me a warning or even a ban. Like those subtly "racist" words.
Gonna play safe with 'supercalifraglisticexpialidocious' for now.
