Unigine::ObjectGuiMesh Class
| Header: | #include <UnigineObjects.h> |
| Inherits from: | Object |
This class allows for rendering GUI onto an arbitrary mesh. Unlike ObjectGui, it can be used to create non-flat displays positioned in the world. If the mesh contains several surfaces, the same GUI will be rendered on each of them. Note that the GUI will be rendered according to the UV mapping of surfaces.

ObjectGuiMesh ( const char * mesh_path, const char * name = 0 ) #
An ObjectGuiMesh constructor. The Gui Mesh will be created on the basis of the mesh loaded from the specified path.Arguments
- const char * mesh_path - Path to the source .mesh-file used for the object
- const char * name

Returns the render mesh used for the object and loads it to video memory (VRAM) immediately. At that, the static mesh will also be loaded to memory (RAM).Notice
Loading to VRAM must be performed in the main thread only.

Returns the source mesh used for the object and loads it to memory (RAM) asynchronously.Return value
A source mesh used for the object.Ptr<MeshRender> getMeshAsyncVRAM ( ) #

Return value
A render mesh used for the object.Ptr<Mesh> getMeshProceduralRAM ( ) #
Returns the procedural source mesh used for the object and loads it to memory (RAM) using the specific streaming mode for procedural meshes. A procedural mesh is a mesh created via code, such meshes have a specific streaming mode — they are always kept in memory after creation and never unloaded until the object is destroyed via code or the mesh returns to its normal mode (streaming from a source file). Changing of the static mesh is possible only if it is in the procedural mode.Return value
A procedural source mesh used for the object.Ptr<MeshRender> getMeshProceduralVRAM ( ) #
Returns the procedural render mesh used for the object and loads it to video memory (VRAM) using the specific streaming mode for procedural meshes. A procedural mesh is a mesh created via code, such meshes have a specific streaming mode — they are always kept in memory after creation and never unloaded until the object is destroyed via code or the mesh returns to its normal mode (streaming from a source file). Changing of the static mesh is possible only if it is in the procedural mode.Return value
A procedural render mesh used for the object.bool loadAsyncVRAM ( ) #
Asynchronously loads the mesh to video memory (VRAM) if the async streaming mode for meshes is enabled. Otherwise, the forced loading is performed.

Loading to VRAM must be performed in the main thread only.
Return value
true if the mesh is loaded successfully, otherwise false. If the mesh is already loaded to VRAM, true will be returned.bool loadAsyncRAM ( ) #

- int surface - Mesh surface number.
Return value
true if the internal tree is calculated successfully; otherwise, false.bool asyncCalculateEdges ( int surface ) #
Asynchronously calculates the edges of the mesh surface geometry. This method is recommended for implementing your own prefetch system (i.e. asynchronous pre-loading of meshes to memory before they are used).Arguments

Return value
true if the edges are calculated successfully; otherwise, false.bool applyMeshProcedural ( const Ptr<Mesh> & mesh ) #

The mesh should contain a single surface. In case if the mesh contains several surfaces, only the one with the 0 index will be used. Thus, the area of the decal will differ from the initial mesh.
