Unigine::ObjectDynamic Class
| Header: | #include <UnigineObjects.h> |
| Inherits from: | Object |
ObjectDynamic class allows to create a dynamic object, which can be rendered by means of any type of geometry (vertex format for an object is changeable). The class supports instancing as well as point/line/triangle rendering modes. ObjectDynamic class requires a custom shader for rendering, no built-in shaders are available.
