Figure 6.1. colorPerVertex="true" and colorPerVertex="false" effects for IndexedFaceSet and IndexedLineSet.
Figure 6.2. Convex and concave shapes.
Figure 6.3. Example use of the Color node to provide colorPerVertex="true" to the pump house in the Kelp Forest world.
Figure 6.4. Example use of PointSet node highlight the waypoints of the shark’s path. The points have been increased in size to better illustrate them.
Figure 6.5. Shark waypoints connected as an IndexedLineSet show the path travelled.
Figure 6.6. Shark waypoints connected with a LineSet show the path travelled. The lines have been made thicker to better illustrate them.
Figure 6.7. The pump house is built using IndexedFaceSet. The rocker arm and piston are built using X3D primitives.
Figure 6.8. Indexing scheme for the ElevationGrid height array.
Figure 6.9. Alternate forms of tesselation are possible for nonplanar ElevationGrid quadrilaterals.
Figure 6.10. Points making up a spine define a local Spine-aligned Cross-section Plane (SCP) where cross-sections are repeated.
Figure 6.11. Example pentagon extrusion views showing default rendering on left and SCP on right.
Figure 6.12. Extrusion example constructing the walls of a building.
Figure 6.13. Extrusion example constructing the hull, superstructure, and smoke trail of a ship.
