can anyone please help me? i am trying to make a camera have a wireframe with a solid color inside that matches the background. i was able to get the wireframe part working but cant add a solid color inside. here is my codepen. [https://codepen.io/joshofdevelopment/pen/Jjjdqxa](https://codepen.io/joshofdevelopment/pen/Jjjdqxa)

i have been looking all over stackoverflow for something that can help but cant find anything for my specific use case. here is one i found but when trying to implement  
i get a bunch of errors. [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31539130/display-wireframe-and-solid-color](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31539130/display-wireframe-and-solid-color)

i believe my use case is different because my meshes are in a group from the gltf file? To be honest im not sure. My head hurts.

i think i might have to combine all the mesh children in the group first but i cant figure that out either.

Neat!

Just to add alternatives, I think I saw a different approach on StackOverflow that suggests finding the edges in the Fragment shader, which gets rid of the tessellated look and helps with line thickness

… although this version is much more complicated to execute.

You’re welcome 🙂  
But I’m sure that there can be better solution. This one is just the first that popped up in my head 🙂
