GL.SetRevertBackfacing

static function SetRevertBackfacing (revertBackFaces : boolean) : void

Description

Select whether to invert the backface culling (true) or not (false).

Unlike most other calls, this is not only related to stuff you draw via GL class. It changes culling of triangles globally. Major use case: rendering reflections for mirrors, water etc. Since virtual camera for rendering the reflection is mirrored, the culling order has to be inverted. You can see that the Water script in Pro Standard Assets does that.

JavaScript
    // Draws 2 yellow triangles and makes them appear/dissapear
// depending on the vertex draw order
// Notice that everything on the scene will suffer from the revert
// backfacing as well
