extractSilhouette(const Point3F & viewDirOS, U32 * outIndices, U32 maxOutIndices)

Generate a silhouette polygon for the polyhedron based on the given view direction.

Parameters:

viewDirOS	Object-space normalized view vector.
outIndices	Array where the resulting vertex indices will be stored. Must have enough room. If you don't know the exact size that you need, just allocate one index for any point in the mesh.
maxOutIndices	The number of indices that can be stored in outIndices. If insufficient, the return value will be 0.

return:

Number of indices written to outIndices or 0 if the silhouette extraction failed.

note:
Be aware that silhouette polygons are in most cases non-planar!

note:
The direction of the ordering of the resulting indices is undefined meaning that different silhouettes extracted from the same polyhedron may have different CCW/CW ordering. The only guarantee is that the resulting indices are consecutive.
