Tessellated Content

This plugin wraps a given jReality content node within a scene graph representing a discrete group, thus tessellating the content according to the group. For a description of the underlying mathematics principles, see this article.

Directions for use

Controlling the group enumeration

There are two panels which control the enumeration of the group, the master constraint and the viewport constraint. Each represents a constraint object which controls which group elements should be accepted. Conceptually, the master constraint is always applied to produce a list of group elements for display. Then, if the clip-to-camera checkbox is active, this list will then be further filtered by applying the viewport constraint.

The master constraint

The master constraint has the following parameters:

The viewport constraint

The viewport constraint also has three parameters. They are:
