Ryan, I thought of another thing to try with your original data: under Backface Styling, change the Backface Representation to "Cull Backface". This should remove the edges from the backside of your data set.
If that doesn't work, can you share a data set? To turn off lighting and set the color to white, I did what you did, but set r.Ambient = 1.0 r.AmbientColor = [1, 1, 1] That made the surface white without lighting.
