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)


ccw convex solid creaseangle are shared by ElevationGrid Extrusion and IndexedFaceSet and are used to speed up and clarify rendering strategy for solids
ccw field defines whether the faces in the face set are indexed in counter clockwise order or not. (ignored if solid true)
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.
solid field if TRUE indicates that Shape encloses a volume and one can use so-called backface culling
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.
