However, like I said, if you find something that works, post the code or the algorithm and you'll be (...) (22 years ago, 8-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

This is no longer culling based on front/back but true visibility that is computed once at (...) (22 years ago, 8-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

If polygon #1 has wrapping ABCD, and polygon #2 has vertices ABEF, then polygon #2's wrapping will involve a (...) (22 years ago, 8-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
