Foil 144 IndexedFaceSet Node - IV

From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 97. by Zeynep Ozdemir(Geoffrey C. Fox)


1 ccw convex solid creaseangle are shared by ElevationGrid Extrusion and IndexedFaceSet and are used to speed up and clarify rendering strategy for solids
2 ccw field defines whether the faces in the face set are indexed in counter clockwise order or not. (ignored if solid true)
3 convex field defines whether all the faces in the face set are convex or not. If faces are concave, then VRML splits them into convex faces before drawing them.
4 solid field if TRUE indicates that Shape encloses a volume and one can use so-called backface culling
5 creaseAngle field defines a crease angle threshold (in radians). Adjacent faces with an angle between them smaller than the crease-angle threshold are smoothly shaded to obscure the edge between them.
