Creating a Mesh Decal#
The following code illustrates how to create a mesh decal, set its parameters and add the node to UnigineEditor.
Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.h
#include <UnigineLogic.h>
#include <UnigineObjects.h>
#include <UnigineEditor.h>
#include <UnigineDecals.h>
class AppWorldLogic : public Unigine::WorldLogic {
public:
AppWorldLogic();
virtual ~AppWorldLogic();
virtual int init();
virtual int update();
virtual int postUpdate();
virtual int updatePhysics();
virtual int shutdown();
virtual int save(const Unigine::StreamPtr &stream);
virtual int restore(const Unigine::StreamPtr &stream);
private:
Unigine::DecalMeshPtr decal_mesh;
};Source code (C++)
// AppWorldLogic.cpp
#include "AppWorldLogic.h";
using namespace Unigine;
int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
// create a mesh with a surface (e.g. a box primitive)
MeshPtr mesh = Mesh::create();
mesh->addBoxSurface("box_0", Math::vec3(1.0f));
// create a mesh decal using created mesh and setting its radius to 10, material to "decal_base_0"
decal_mesh = DecalMesh::create();
decal_mesh->setMesh(mesh);
decal_mesh->setRadius(10.0f);
decal_mesh->setMaterialPath("decal_base_0.mat");
// set the name and position of the decal
decal_mesh->setName("Mesh Decal");
decal_mesh->setWorldPosition(Math::Vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 5.0f));
return 1;

Members
static DecalMeshPtr create ( ) #
Constructor. Creates a new Mesh Decal.static DecalMeshPtr create ( const char * path ) #
DecalMesh constructor. Creates a Mesh Decal with a source mesh loaded from the specified file.Arguments
- const char * path - Path to the source mesh file.
void setMeshPath ( const char * path ) #
Sets a new path to the source mesh for the current decal mesh. If the mesh is in the procedural mode, it will be reset.Notice
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.
Arguments
- const char * path - New path to the source .mesh-file to be set.
const char * getMeshPath ( ) const#
Returns the path to the source .mesh-file currently used for the decal.Return value
Path to the source .mesh-file.static int type ( ) #
Returns a DecalMesh type identifier.Return value
Type identifier.Ptr<Mesh> getMeshCurrentRAM ( ) #
Returns the current source mesh used for the object and loaded to memory (RAM).Return value
A current source mesh used for the object.Ptr<MeshRender> getMeshCurrentVRAM ( ) #
Returns the current render mesh used for the object and loaded to video memory (VRAM).Return value
A current render mesh used for the object.Ptr<Mesh> getMeshForceRAM ( ) #
Returns the source mesh used for the object and loads it to memory (RAM) immediately.Return value
A source mesh used for the object.Ptr<MeshRender> getMeshForceVRAM ( ) #
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.
Return value
A render mesh used for the object.Ptr<Mesh> getMeshAsyncRAM ( ) #
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 ( ) #
Returns the render mesh used for the object and loads it to video memory (VRAM) asynchronously. At that, the static mesh will also be loaded to memory (RAM).Notice
Loading to VRAM must be performed in the main thread only.
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. This method is recommended for implementing your own prefetch system (i.e. asynchronous pre-loading of meshes to video memory before they are used).Notice
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 ( ) #
Asynchronously loads the mesh to memory (RAM) if the async streaming mode for meshes is enabled. Otherwise, the forced loading is performed. This method is recommended for implementing your own prefetch system (i.e. asynchronous pre-loading of meshes to video memory before they are used).Return value
true if the mesh is loaded successfully, otherwise false. If the mesh is already loaded to RAM, true will be returned.bool loadForceVRAM ( ) #
Performs force-loading of the mesh to video memory (VRAM) immediately. The forced loading to VRAM is performed in the main thread.Notice
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 loadForceRAM ( ) #
Performs force-loading of the mesh to memory (RAM) immediately.Return value
true if the mesh is loaded successfully, otherwise false. If the mesh is already loaded to RAM, true will be returned.bool asyncCalculateNodes ( int surface ) #
Asynchronously calculates the mesh surface internal spatial tree used for quick calculation of collisions and intersections. This method is recommended for implementing your own prefetch system (i.e. asynchronous pre-loading of meshes to memory before they are used).Arguments
- 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
- int surface - Mesh surface number.
Return value
true if the edges are calculated successfully; otherwise, false.void setMeshProceduralMode ( bool meshproceduralmode ) #
Sets a value indicating if the source mesh used for the object is procedural. 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.Arguments
- bool meshproceduralmode - true to switch the source mesh used for the object to procedural mode; otherwise, false - normal mode (the source mesh is streamed from a source file).
bool isMeshProceduralMode ( ) const#
Returns a value indicating if the source mesh used for the object is procedural. 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
true if the source mesh used for the object is procedural; otherwise, false - normal mode (the source mesh is streamed from a source file).bool isMeshNull ( ) const#
Returns a value indicating if the source mesh used for the object is null (does not exist, unassigned, not loaded, etc.).Return value
true if the source mesh used for the object is null; otherwise, false.bool isMeshLoadedRAM ( ) const#

Sets the specified mesh as the source mesh for the object.Source code (C++)
DecalMeshPtr my_decal_mesh;
// ...
// switch the object to procedural mesh mode
my_decal_mesh->setMeshProceduralMode(true);
// update the source mesh of the "my_decal_mesh" object via the source_mesh instance
