In-Depth Information
Note that many downloaded meshes may have counter-clockwise vertex winding.
When debugging rendering issues, it can sometimes be helpful to try disabling back-face
culling in the rasterizer state. This is done as shown in the following code snippet:
// No culling
context.Rasterizer.State = ToDispose(new RasterizerState(device, new
RasterizerStateDescription() {
FillMode = FillMode.Solid,
CullMode = CullMode.None,
}));
