Surface

3D Renderer - Display geometry’s triangles as a surface

The surface renderer allow to display triangulated geometries (so anything with a surface).

It contain every component you are used to :

Diffuse: Emitted light from the object
Specular: Add this reflection effect. This can be combined with emitted specular from Light .
Bump: Displace object normals with a black and white map to generate false 3d with Light .
Normal: Use a rgb map to displace object normals (much effective than bump). Use Light angle between object and camera to generate false 3D.
Env-map: Use a spherical or Cylindrical map to fake reflections and refractions
Vertex color info: Debug your object normals issues
Alpha: In the title. Better use 3D Mask to do this effect
Checkerboard: A 3D checkerboard

Blending Mode: How this surface gets blended
Depth Buffer: Depth-buffer related settings
Auto Illuminate: This parameter allow to do self-illuminated object, If you only want to have an Auto Illuminated object you can use AutoIlluminate Surface
Side: Side of the surface . If there are some part of your object you don’t see, set it as “both”. Uses the normals of the faces to displays or not the geometry
Flat Shading: Flat shading of the surface . Allow to have sharp faces well triangulated old school style !
Components: Components of the surface
