Explain the properties of 3D object in JavaFX?

Following are the various properties of 3D objects −

• Cull Face − In general, culling is the removal of improperly oriented parts of a shape (which are not visible in the view area).

  You can set the value to the cull face property of a 3d object using the setCullFace() method (Shape class).

  JavaFX supports three kinds of cull face types represented by three constants of the Enum named CullFace namely, NONE, FRONT, BACK.

• Draw Mode − This property defines/specifies the mode used to draw the 3D shape.

  You can set the value to the draw mode property of a 3d object using the setDrawMode() method (Shape class).

  JavaFX supports two kinds of draw modes represented by constants of the Enum named DrawMode, FILL and LINE.

• Material − This property specifies the type of material the 3D object should be covered with. You can set value to this property using the setMaterial() method.
