CreateCylinder(C3DScreen pScreen, float  height, int  segments, float  rad, int  bInside), int

Purpose:

Creates a cylinder mesh.
 

Parameters:
pScreen - A C3DScreen object.

height - The height of the cylinder.

segments - Number of polygon segments around the diameter.

rad - The radius of the cylinder.

bInside - Culling flag.

Returned value(s):

Additional Info:

Higher segment values results in a better looking cylinder but increases the poly count of the object.

If bInside is TRUE then the cylinder will be visible when the camera is inside of it.  You can make a cylinder visible from both inside and out by using the SetCulling method. Note however that light reflection will be determined by the bInside parameter
