Actually, since I don't need to know how many faces are visible in the
view, I just need to know if ANY faces are visible I hacked the
AbstractSession.as class and added below the method getTotalFaces()
the following method so I save myself a loop and get a little more
performance optimization
public function getVisibleFaces(view:View3D):int
{
return getRenderer(view).list().length;
}
Now to check if the Object3D is visible i do
if(theModel.session.getVisibleFaces(view) > 0)
{
return true;
}
Just for future reference in case anyone needs it
