Description

Methods

Public function Shape: TShape;

Shape containing this triangle.

Public function State: TX3DGraphTraverseState;

State of this shape, containing various information about 3D shape. This is a shortcut for Shape.State.

Public procedure UpdateSceneSpace;

Use State.Transform to update TTriangle.SceneSpace geometry from TTriangle.Local geometry.

Public procedure UpdateWorld; deprecated 'use UpdateSceneSpace';

Warning: this symbol is deprecated: use UpdateSceneSpace

This item has no description.

Public function ShapeNode: TAbstractShapeNode;

X3D shape node of this triangle. May be Nil in case of VRML 1.0.

Public function MaterialInfo: TMaterialInfo;

Material information for the material of this triangle. See TMaterialInfo for usage description. Returns Nil when no node determines material properties (which indicates white unlit look).

Returned TMaterialInfo is valid only as long as the underlying node (TMaterialNode, TPhysicalMaterialNode, TUnlitMaterialNode, TCommonSurfaceShaderNode...) exists. Do not free it yourself, it will be automatically freed.

Public function Transparency: Single;

Return transparency of this triangle's material. Equivalent to MaterialInfo.Transparency, although a little faster.

Public function IsTransparent: boolean;

Returns True for triangles that are transparent.

Public function IgnoreForShadowRays: boolean;

Returns True for triangles that should be ignored by shadow rays. Returns True for transparent triangles (with Material.Transparency > 0) and non-shadow-casting triangles (with Appearance.shadowCaster = FALSE).
