Culling

Example test to validate winding and culling.

  • The rightmost shapes are only lit by a dim ambient light. Other than that:

  • The top green shapes should look normal and well lit.

  • The bottom yellow shapes should show the backfaces, well lit.

  • Hit space to toggle flat shading.
