(...) (FUT lugnet.cad.dev) I draw everything but the edge lines with glColorMask() set to all false. This updates the depth buffer, but doesn't update the color buffer. Edge lines are drawn with a standard glColorMask(). --Travis (14 years ago, 25-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Great! Note that it may be easier to use slant instead of stretch/rotate. It is a bit more difficult to figure out at the beginning, but it avoids calculations and gives simpler coefficients. Here is the result, applied to your file: 0 (...) (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hey, this is interesting. Is it actually just drawing the visible lines in some final rendering stage? Or is there more going on there with the Stencil and/or Depth buffer? (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

OK, I think what you miss is the 4-4cyls.dat primitive, add it to a regular 4-4cyli and you basically have what you need. For the tip, you need a slanted primitive (ring and edges). There is a tutorial (unfortunately in French) here (URL) , (...) (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I was looking at trying to use your cutting tool, actually,.. stretch a 4-4cyli.dat to a long enough length (somehow?) and then just use a big quad tilted to 45 degrees as the "blade". But I can't quite suss out how to do it, being somewhat (...) (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Or alternatively, you could use ring/cone/cyl primitives, should be lots easier than doing individual quads. ROSCO (14 years ago, 24-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
