Unigine::WorldSplineGraph Class

Header: #include <UnigineWorlds.h>
Inherits from: Node
Warning
This feature is an experimental one and is not recommended for production use.

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

UNIGINE's 3D spline system has a wide range of applications, particularly procedural content generation (rivers, roads, pipelines etc.).

A spline graph is determined by a set of points p0, p 1, ... p n and a set of segments (cubic Bezier splines), that connect some or all of these points.

Each segment is determined by the indices of the starting (pSTART ) and ending (pEND ) points and tangent vector coordinates at these points, which determine the form of the segment (tSTART and tEND respectively).

Coordinates of the "up" vector are additionally stored for each point of the segment. You can specify this vector to define orientation of geometry or objects, that can be stretched or tiled along the segments of the spline graph. By default this vector is parallel to the Z axis. The "up" vector does not affect the form of the spline segment.

It is possible to obtain an interpolated value for any point belonging to a segment, this can be used for various purposes (e.g. to change road profile). Interpolated "up" vector can be calculated as follows (pseudocode):

Source code (C++)
vec3 lerpUpVector(vec3 start_up, vec3 end_up, float t) const
{
	float angle = acos(dot(start_up, end_up)) * RAD2DEG;
	vec3 rotation_axis = cross(start_up, end_up);

	return rotateAxisAngle(rotation_axis, angle * t) * start_up;
}

A world spline graph consists of segments and has a list of source nodes (currently ObjectMeshStatic, ObjectMeshSkinned, and DecalProj) that can be placed at points and along the segments of the spline graph. Each point and segment can have a single or a set of source nodes assigned. An arbitrary number of WorldSplineGraph nodes can be added to the scene.

WorldSplineGraph has the following features:

  • Points of the spline graph are managed via the SplinePoint class.
  • Segments of the spline graph are managed via the SplineSegment class.
  • 3 modes are supported:
    • stretching: source nodes are stretched along the spline segment.
    • tiling: source nodes are duplicated along the spline segment.
    • adaptive - represents a combination of the first two: source nodes are duplicated along the spline segment, but the length of each node (stretching) is determined by the curvature of the corresponding part of the segment. Thus, long nodes are placed along the straight parts of segments, while short ones - along the curved parts, providing a reasonable balance between the plausible look and performance.
  • Forward axis selection for stretching/tiling source nodes.

Event<const Ptr<WorldSplineGraph> &> getEventRebuildingFinished() const#

event triggered after the world spline graph is rebuilt. The world spline graph uses a deferred rebuild. You can subscribe to events via connect()  and unsubscribe via disconnect(). You can also use EventConnection  and EventConnections  classes for convenience (see examples below).
Notice

The event handler signature is as follows: myhandler(const Ptr<WorldSplineGraph> & spline_graph)
