What is CCW, CW and both in materials?

Hello Ritu,
In WASP3D software, "CCW," "CW," and "Both" are options typically associated with controlling the orientation or direction of certain effects or properties applied to materials. Here's what each term generally refers to:

1. CCW (Counter-Clockwise):
This option indicates that a specific effect or property, such as texture mapping or normal mapping, will be applied in a counter-clockwise direction.
In the context of texture mapping, it means that the texture will be applied in a manner where the vertices are traversed counter-clockwise.
It's commonly used in 3D graphics to determine the direction of certain visual elements.

2. CW (Clockwise):
Conversely, this option indicates that the effect or property will be applied in a clockwise direction.
In texture mapping, it means that the texture will be applied in a manner where the vertices are traversed clockwise.
Like CCW, it's used to control the direction of various visual elements within a 3D scene.

3. Both: This option may indicate that the effect or property will be applied in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions simultaneously or indiscriminately.
It might be useful in situations where the orientation of the effect or property doesn't matter, or where you want it to affect all sides equally.

These options are often encountered when dealing with materials, textures, and shaders in 3D graphics software like WASP3D. They provide control over how certain visual effects are applied to surfaces within a 3D scene, ensuring consistency and desired appearance. Depending on the specific context within WASP3D, these options may be used in different ways to achieve specific visual results or behaviors.

Hope this resolves your query.
