`Material(wireframe=True)` draws a mesh as the edges of its triangles instead
of filled faces. The rest of the material still applies: colour, roughness
and emission shade the edges the way they would shade a surface.

A cube and a sphere each spin beside a twin that shares its mesh and material
settings, solid in the left column and wireframe in the right, so the same
geometry reads filled on one side and as its edges on the other. A wireframe
surface is see-through, so its far edges show through and it casts no shadow.
The column headings are `Text3D` labels placed in the world above each column.
