Virtual Models

Lights in MuPAD and JavaView

Fractal Staircase

How 'Show depth' works?

These two models are identical and have exactly the same lights. The bottom model has 'Show depth' switched ON.

JavaView

Model in JavaView with 'Show depth' off

JavaView

Model in JavaView with 'Show depth' on. I have a feeling that the show depth should work in a different way. This is my personal opinion. Perhaps there should be parameters allowing us to control how the object darkens depending on the distance from the camera.
