The terms POSITIVE
and NEGATIVE
refer to the sign of a triangle's normal along the z-axis.
The normal is a 3D vector that is perpendicular to the surface of the triangle.
A triangle whose vertices 0, 1, and 2 are arranged in a clockwise order has a positive normal value. That is,
its normal points in a positive z-axis direction, away from the current view point.
When the TriangleCulling.POSITIVE
algorithm is used, triangles with positive normals
are not rendered. Another term for this is backface culling.
A triangle whose vertices are arranged in a counter-clockwise order has a negative normal value. That is,
its normal points in a negative z-axis direction, toward the current view point.
When the TriangleCulling.NEGATIVE
algorithm is used, triangles with negative normals will not
be rendered.
