Unigine::Primitives Class

Header: #include <UniginePrimitives.h>

This class contains methods enabling you to create geometry primitives - dynamic meshes of the predefined forms, or add surfaces of the predefined forms to already existing dynamic meshes.

Usage Example#

Here is a small example demonstrating how to create a capsule primitive and add a box surface to it:

Source code (C++)
#include <UnigineObjects.h>
#include <UniginePrimitives.h>
// ...

// Creating a capsule-shape primitive with the specified parameters
ObjectMeshDynamicPtr MyPrimitive = Primitives::createCapsule(0.5f, 3, 16, 32);

// Adding a box-shape surface to the created capsule
Primitives::addBoxSurface(MyPrimitive, vec3(2.0f), mat4_identity);
