Unigine::Mesh Class

Header:#include <UnigineMesh.h>

Mesh class provides an interface for mesh loading, manipulating and saving.

By using this class, you can create a mesh, add geometry to it (e.g. box, plane, capsule or cylinder surface), add animations and bones (if you want to create a skinned mesh) and then use it to create the following objects:

Features of the mesh are listed below:

  • Each surface of the mesh supports several morph targets.
  • Each surface has a quaternion-based tangent basis for the better loading speed.
  • 8-bit vertex colors are supported.
  • Each vertex of a surface has 2 sets of indices: coordinate and triangle indices. It improves the loading speed and reduces data duplicating.
  • Each vertex of a surface has 2 UV sets.
  • A bind pose transformation is stored for each mesh (even if there are no animations and animation frames). See also the getBoneTransfroms() function.
    Notice
    The 1st animation frame should not contain the bind pose.

Vertex Indices

Each vertex stores information about its position, normal, binormal, tangent and texture coordinates in 2 separate buffers: coordinate and triangle buffers.

On the picture below, arrows are used to show triangle vertices:

Surface that contains 2 adjacent triangles. Here C0...C4 are coordinate vertices, T0...T5 are triangle vertices

The coordinate buffer is an array of coordinate vertices. For example, the coordinate buffer for the surface presented on the picture above is the following:

Output
CB = [C0,C1,C2,C3]
Each coordinate vertex contains coordinates ( float[3]) of the vertex.
Notice
The number of vertices and coordinate vertices is equal.

The triangle buffer is an array of triangle vertices. For example, the triangle buffer for the surface presented on the picture above is the following:

Output
TB = [T0,T1,T2,T3,T4,T5]
Each triangle vertex can store:
  • Normal
  • Binormal
  • Tangent
  • 1st UV map texture coordinates
  • 2nd UV map texture coordinates
  • Color
Notice
The number of vertices and triangle vertices can be different.
The number of triangle vertices depends on the number of triangles, to which the vertex belongs. For example, if 2 triangles have 1 adjacent vertex with different normals for each triangle, 2 triangle vertices will be stored (the 1st and the 3rd vertices on the picture above). However, if the components are the same for all of the adjacent triangles, only 1 triangle vertex will be stored.

Both the coordinate and triangle vertices have indices.

Coordinate Indices

Each coordinate vertex has a coordinate index. The number of coordinate indices is equal to 3*number of triangles. For the given surface the array of the coordinate indices is the following:

Output
CIndices = [Ci0,Ci1,Ci3,Ci1,Ci2,Ci3]
Here:
  • The first 3 elements are the coordinate indices of the first (bottom) triangle.
  • The second 3 elements are the coordinate indices of the second (top) triangle.

Triangle Indices

Each triangle vertex has a triangle index. The number of triangle indices is equal to 3*number of triangles. For the given surface the array of the triangle indices is the following:

Output
TIndices = [Ti0,Ti1,Ti5,Ti2,Ti3,Ti4]
Here:
  • The first 3 elements are the triangle indices of the first (bottom) triangle.
  • The second 3 elements are the triangle indices of the second (top) triangle.

Notice
The number of the coordinate and triangle indices is equal.
