Frame 6

MAMBO is able to display objects consisting of geometric primitives, such as spheres, cylinders, and rectangular blocks. Each geometric primitive is represented in an 'Animation View' window by a three-dimensional mesh of vertices, the edges between the vertices, and the polygons spanned by the edges.

The graphics toolbar allows you to choose whether to display just the vertices by left-clicking on the ‘Vertices only' icon, just the edges by left-clicking on the ‘Wireframe' icon, or just the polygons by left-clicking on the ‘Solid polygons' icon.

You may also vary the number of vertices used to render geometric primitives by moving the ‘Polygon count' slider.
