Unigine::WorldSplineGraph Class

Header:#include <UnigineWorlds.h>
Inherits:Node

This class is used to generate specified nodes (called source nodes) along a spline graph.

A world spline graph consists of segments and has a list of source nodes (currently ObjectMeshStatic only) that can be stretched or tiled along the segments. Each WorldSplineGraph node can have a single or a set of source nodes. An arbitrary number of WorldSplineGraph nodes can be added to the scene.

WorldSplineGraph has the following features:

  • Vertices and segments of the spline graph are managed via the SplineGraph class.
  • 2 modes are supported:
    • stretching: source nodes are stretched along the spline segment.
    • tiling: source nodes are duplicated along the spline segment.
  • Forward axis selection for stretching/tiling source nodes.
