ObjectWaterMesh Class

This class is used to create limited mesh tessellation-based water basin. Like the ObjectWater, four sine waves are simulated for it. However, this object does not provide the underwater mode. It can be used to create small water basins such as ponds, lakes and so on.

Notice
In contrast to ObjectWater, ObjectWaterMesh can have a body assigned, therefore, it can interact with other scene objects.

Integer, each bit of which is a mask.

float getHeight (vec3 position)

Returns a height offset of a given point relative to the water mesh surface.

Arguments

  • vec3 position - Point position coordinates.

Return value

Height offset of the point.

string getMeshName ()

Returns the name of of the mesh.

Return value

Mesh name.

int getMesh (Mesh mesh)

Copies the current water mesh into the received mesh.

Arguments

Wave parameters:
  • The x and y components contain the velocity of the wave.
  • The z component contains the frequency.
  • The w component contains the amplitude.

int loadMesh (string name)

Loads a mesh for the current water mesh from the file. This function doesn't change the mesh name.
