8a. Invisibility
Invisible points are those which will continue to effect the shape of an object in the scene, but not be rendered as visible. Consequently, any curve connected to an invisible point will not be calculated to render a face either.
For example: if you delete the top point in a 4pt circle, the remaining half circle will no longer look circular, and an extruded version of it will not render as a true half cylinder.
However, if we make that same point invisible and extrude, it will not be rendered, but it will effect the shape of the half circle to give a true half cylinder look.
If there is some other feature of hamaPatch that you need further explanation on or for questions, comments, or additions to this documentation please contact: draven2561@hotmail.com.
