I think you'd need to calculate one view vector for each edge endpoint, which brings the number (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | (...) Ok, I drew a better picture (2 planes in space and a floating eye) and I'm starting to see. Maybe you're onto something. It takes 2 surface normals and one point on the edgeline to divide space into 4 quadrants. Then you only need to figure (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

In general, the "magic halo" effect only highlights _outside_ edges, but for a non-convex object, that won't necessarily be adqeuate. You can't even get away with (...)

|
| | | | (...) Well, I had some spare time today... so I wrote one. It goes through a single LDraw part file and reorients all the polygons in it to have the same winding. It comprehends the notion of subfiles and already BFC compliant parts, and puts the (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

The point of BFC is to allow renderers to understand if a particular polygon is facing the camera or facing away from it. If all polygons are wound (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | | (...) I think it can be done for simple objects, by choosing a random winding for 1 polygon, then processing all touching polygons so they're wound the same way (when looking from the same side - out ot in). This would produce a result that is (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
