HOW TO USE
- Surface Color - Please pick the desired geometry displayed rgb color (rgb.a)
- Line color - This stands for wireframe color itself.
- Surface Alpha - so you can specify the alpha component of the Surface Alpha (rgb.a)
- Depth Priority - Actually the Zdeph test for the wireframe display. Increasing this value would draw the wireframe ontop of the rest of scene.
- Line Width - The thickness of the wireframe
- Split Threshold - A convenient attribute for ziCut. The resulting vertices will be merged with the existing ones depending of this distance value.
- Backface Culling - The wireframe polygons facing away the camera won't be display if the value is low.
- Source Backface - If ticked on, the DAG mesh geometry will be set as backface culled.
- Override Shading - if on, the DAG mesh geometry will display its polygon surface.
