Unigine::SplineGraph Class

Header: #include <UnigineSplineGraph.h>

This class is used to manage vertices and segments of spline graphs. UNIGINE's 3D spline system has a wide range of applications, particularly procedural content generation (rivers, roads, pipelines etc.).

A spline graph is determined by a set of points p0, p 1, ... p n and a set of segments (cubic Bezier splines), that connect some or all of these points.

Each segment is determined by the indices of the starting (pSTART ) and ending (pEND ) points and tangent vector coordinates at these points, which determine the form of the segment (tSTART and tEND respectively).

Coordinates of the "up" vector are additionally stored for each point of the segment. You can specify this vector to define orientation of geometry or objects, that can be stretched or tiled along the segments of the spline graph. By default this vector is parallel to the Z axis. The "up" vector does not affect the form of the spline segment.

It is possible to obtain an interpolated value for any point belonging to a segment, this can be used for various purposes (e.g. to change road profile). Interpolated "up" vector can be calculated as follows (pseudocode):

Source code (C++)
vec3 lerpUpVector(vec3 start_up, vec3 end_up, float t) const
{
	float angle = acos(dot(start_up, end_up)) * RAD2DEG;
	vec3 rotation_axis = cross(start_up, end_up);

	return rotateAxisAngle(rotation_axis, angle * t) * start_up;
}
