Piecing Polygons Together

Node

IndexedFaceSet • Attributes

Description

An open cardboard box with 9 connecting faces.

VRIGNETTE Notes

The ability to list multiple faces together is extremely helpful in creating more complex shapes. However, faces within a set are not required to connect.

IndexedFaceSet is the rough equivalent to SVG Path. It will make just about any shape you need.
