Clip Plane
 | Clip Plane | This node adds a Plane to the 3D World that cuts off the rendering |
The Clip Plane adds a plane to the 3D World that clips everything behind it. That means everything behind the Clip Plane will not be drawn. That allows for example to cut the 3D World in general as well as cut through 3D objects to show the inside or create transitions. Cutting objects with a Clip Plane is very effective cause it happens at an early stage of the rendering process.
The plane is perpendicular to the axis set in the Axis property. However, the Clip Plane can be positioned and rotated by using an additional Axis Node.
The Filter property assigns an identifier to the Clip Plane that is used in combination with the Clip Plane Filter.
The number of Clip Planes is limited to 6 planes per 3D Layer. Note that internally the Mirror Node also uses one of these 6 Clip Planes. Whenever the limit of available Clip Planes is reached an error message will show up in the Message View.
