Unigine::ObjectMeshSkinned Class
| Header: | #include <UnigineObjects.h> |
| Inherits: | Object |
This class is used to create or modify skinned meshes.
Creating and Playing Animation
To add the animation to the ObjectMeshSkinned and play it, do the following:
- Set the number of animation layers with the setNumLayers() method. There is only one layer by default.
- Enable the layer and set the animation weight for blending by calling the setLayer() function.
- Add the animation .anim file by using addAnimation() or setAnimation() functions.
- Play the added animation by calling the setFrame() function for each animation layer.
Blending is performed between all layers. The contribution of each layer depends on its weight. Also, you can optionally define single bone transformations by hand, if needed, using either setBoneTransform() or setBoneChildrenTransform().
Usage Example
The following example shows how to blend 2 different animations assigned to a mesh. In this example we use the mesh and animations from UNIGINE samples located in <UnigineSDK>/data/samples/animation/meshes and <UnigineSDK>/data/samples/animation/animations folders, respectively. Animations are added by using the addAnimation() function.
Source code (UnigineScript)
// define the new ObjectMeshSkinned class instance
ObjectMeshSkinned skinned_mesh;
int init() {
/* ... */
// create the new ObjectMeshSkinned mesh based on an existing mesh
skinned_mesh = new ObjectMeshSkinned("samples/animation/meshes/agent.mesh");
// add the material and the property to the mesh
skinned_mesh.setMaterial("mesh_base","*");
skinned_mesh.setProperty("surface_base","*");
// add the mesh to the editor
engine.editor.addNode(node_remove(skinned_mesh));
// set the number of animation layers
skinned_mesh.setNumLayers(2);
// load animations from the files
int animation_1 = skinned_mesh.addAnimation("samples/animation/animations/agent_run.anim");
int animation_2 = skinned_mesh.addAnimation("samples/animation/animations/agent_punch.anim");
// enable each layer and set an animation weight
skinned_mesh.setLayer(0,1,0.7);
skinned_mesh.setLayer(1,1,0.3);
// set animations to layers
skinned_mesh.setAnimation(0, animation_1);
skinned_mesh.setAnimation(1, animation_2);
/* ... */
}
int update() {
/* ... */
// get the current time spent in the game
float time = engine.game.getTime();
// start each animation playing
skinned_mesh.setFrame(0,time * 25.0f);
skinned_mesh.setFrame(1,time * 25.0f);
/* ... */
}Updating Bone Transformations
Some of the methods require to update the animation data before the renderer makes its update and actually draws the skinned mesh. Such update allows to get the correct result of blending between the frames and layers.
The execution sequence of updating bone transformations is the following:
- Call the method, which sets the update flag. This flag shows that the instance should be updated.
- Update the bone transformations by calling proper functions. These functions check the flag and if the flag is set, they calculate the transformations and set the flag to the default value.
- During the rendering, the engine performs animations and transformations which were calculated on the previous step or recalculates them, if the update flag has been set. If calculations have been performed, the flag is set to the default value.
When you change the transformation of the bone, you should notify all skinned meshes which use these bone about these transformations to update the mesh. When you change transformations of a bone, skinned mesh instances get the flag to update. When you use the setFrame() function, you set necessary transformations for the specified skinned mesh.
Instancing
Surfaces of identical skinned meshes which have the same materials assigned to them and the same number of bones attached to their vertices are automatically instanced and drawn in one draw call. The instancing flag is enabled by default (see corresponding console commands).
The data buffers for instanced objects that store bones transformations are limited in size; therefore, if skinned meshes have many bones, only a few meshes can populate the instance data buffer to be drawn in one draw call.
Notice
The higher the number of bones and the more bones are attached to one surface, the less robust instancing will be.

- int layer0 - Number of the first source layer in range from 0 to the total number of animation layers.
- int layer1 - Number of the second source layer in range from 0 to the total number of animation layers.
- float weight - Interpolation weight.
int loadMesh(const char * name)
Loads a mesh file.Arguments
- const char * name - Mesh file name.
Return value
Returns 1 if the mesh is loaded successfully; otherwise, 0.void mergeMeshSurface(int dest_surface, const Ptr<ObjectMeshSkinned> & src_mesh, int src_surface)
Arguments
- int dest_surface
- const Ptr<ObjectMeshSkinned> & src_mesh
- int src_surface
void mulLayer(int dest, int layer0, int layer1, float weight = 1.0f)
Copies multiplied bone transformations from two source layers to the destination layer.Arguments
- int dest - Number of the destination layer in range from 0 to the total number of animation layers.
- int layer0 - Number of the first source layer in range from 0 to the total number of animation layers.
- int layer1 - Number of the second source layer in range from 0 to the total number of animation layers.
- float weight - Interpolation weight.
void play()
Continues playback of the animation, if it was paused, or starts playback if it was stopped.void removeAnimation(int animation)
Removes animation.Arguments
- int animation - Animation identifier.
void removeLayer(int layer)
Removes an animation layer.Arguments
- int layer - Layer number in range from 0 to the total number of animation layers.
void removeTarget(int target, int surface)
Removes an animation target.Arguments
- int target - Target number in range from 0 to the total number of animation targets.
- int surface - Surface number.
int saveMesh(const char * name)
Saves the dynamic mesh into a file.Arguments
- const char * name - Mesh file name.
Return value
Returns 1 if the mesh is saved successfully; otherwise, 0.void stop()
Stops animation playback. This function saves the playback position so that playing of the animation can be resumed from the same point.int type()
void updateSurfaceBounds(int surface = -1)
Updates mesh bounds.Arguments
- int surface - Surface number (use -1 for all surfaces).
