Constructor.


Member Function Documentation

void Ogre::Mesh::_compileBoneAssignments void   )  [inherited]
 

Internal method, be called once to compile bone assignments into geometry buffer.

Remarks:
The OGRE engine calls this method automatically. It compiles the information submitted as bone assignments into a format usable in realtime. It also eliminates excessive bone assignments (max is OGRE_MAX_BLEND_WEIGHTS) and re-normalises the remaining assignments.

void Ogre::Mesh::_determineAnimationTypes void   )  const [inherited]
 

Internal method which, if animation types have not been determined, scans any vertex animations and determines the type for each set of vertex data (cannot have 2 different types).

virtual Animation* Ogre::Mesh::_getAnimationImpl const String name  )  const [virtual, inherited]
 

Internal access to the named vertex Animation object - returns null if it does not exist.

Parameters:
name The name of the animation

bool Ogre::Mesh::_getAnimationTypesDirty void   )  const [inherited]
 

Are the derived animation types out of date?

Definition at line 763 of file OgreMesh.h.

ushort Ogre::Mesh::_getSubMeshIndex const String name  )  const [inherited]
 

Gets the index of a submesh with a given name.

Remarks:
Useful if you identify the SubMeshes by name (using nameSubMesh) but wish to have faster repeat access.

void Ogre::Mesh::_initAnimationState AnimationStateSet animSet  )  [inherited]
 

Initialise an animation set suitable for use with this mesh.

Remarks:
Only recommended for use inside the engine, not by applications.

void Ogre::Resource::_notifyOrigin const String origin  )  [inherited]
 

Notify this resource of it's origin.

Definition at line 223 of file OgreResource.h.

References Ogre::String.

void Ogre::Mesh::_notifySkeleton SkeletonPtr pSkel  )  [inherited]
 

Internal notification, used to tell the Mesh which Skeleton to use without loading it.

Remarks:
This is only here for unusual situation where you want to manually set up a Skeleton. Best to let OGRE deal with this, don't call it yourself unless you really know what you're doing.

unsigned short Ogre::Mesh::_rationaliseBoneAssignments size_t  vertexCount,
VertexBoneAssignmentList assignments
[inherited]
 

Rationalises the passed in bone assignment list.

Remarks:
OGRE supports up to 4 bone assignments per vertex. The reason for this limit is that this is the maximum number of assignments that can be passed into a hardware-assisted blending algorithm. This method identifies where there are more than 4 bone assignments for a given vertex, and eliminates the bone assignments with the lowest weights to reduce to this limit. The remaining weights are then re-balanced to ensure that they sum to 1.0.
Parameters:
vertexCount The number of vertices.
assignments The bone assignment list to rationalise. This list will be modified and entries will be removed where the limits are exceeded.
Returns:
The maximum number of bone assignments per vertex found, clamped to [1-4]

void Ogre::Mesh::_setBoundingSphereRadius Real  radius  )  [inherited]
 

Manually set the bounding radius.

Remarks:
Calling this method is required when building manual meshes now, because OGRE can no longer update the bounds for you, because it cannot necessarily read vertex data back from the vertex buffers which this mesh uses (they very well might be write-only, and even if they are not, reading data from a hardware buffer is a bottleneck).

void Ogre::Mesh::_setBounds const AxisAlignedBox bounds,
bool  pad = true
[inherited]
 

Manually set the bounding box for this Mesh.

Remarks:
Calling this method is required when building manual meshes now, because OGRE can no longer update the bounds for you, because it cannot necessarily read vertex data back from the vertex buffers which this mesh uses (they very well might be write-only, and even if they are not, reading data from a hardware buffer is a bottleneck).
Parameters:
pad If true, a certain padding will be added to the bounding box to separate it from the mesh

void Ogre::Mesh::_setLodInfo unsigned short  numLevels,
bool  isManual
[inherited]
 

Internal methods for loading LOD, do not use.

void Ogre::Mesh::_setLodUsage unsigned short  level,
MeshLodUsage usage
[inherited]
 

Internal methods for loading LOD, do not use.

void Ogre::Mesh::_setSubMeshLodFaceList unsigned short  subIdx,
unsigned short  level,
IndexData facedata
[inherited]
 

Internal methods for loading LOD, do not use.

void Ogre::Mesh::_updateCompiledBoneAssignments void   )  [inherited]
 

Internal method, be called once to update the compiled bone assignments.

Remarks:
The OGRE engine calls this method automatically. It updates the compiled bone assignments if requested.

void Ogre::Mesh::addBoneAssignment const VertexBoneAssignment vertBoneAssign  )  [inherited]
 

Assigns a vertex to a bone with a given weight, for skeletal animation.

Remarks:
This method is only valid after calling setSkeletonName. Since this is a one-off process there exists only 'addBoneAssignment' and 'clearBoneAssignments' methods, no 'editBoneAssignment'. You should not need to modify bone assignments during rendering (only the positions of bones) and OGRE reserves the right to do some internal data reformatting of this information, depending on render system requirements.
This method is for assigning weights to the shared geometry of the Mesh. To assign weights to the per-SubMesh geometry, see the equivalent methods on SubMesh.

void Ogre::Mesh::buildEdgeList void   )  [inherited]
 

Builds an edge list for this mesh, which can be used for generating a shadow volume among other things.

void Ogre::Mesh::buildIndexMap const VertexBoneAssignmentList boneAssignments,
IndexMap boneIndexToBlendIndexMap,
IndexMap blendIndexToBoneIndexMap
[protected, inherited]
 

Build the index map between bone index and blend index.

void Ogre::Mesh::buildTangentVectors unsigned short  sourceTexCoordSet = 0,
unsigned short  destTexCoordSet = 1
[inherited]
 

This method builds a set of tangent vectors for a given mesh into a 3D texture coordinate buffer.

Remarks:
Tangent vectors are vectors representing the local 'X' axis for a given vertex based on the orientation of the 2D texture on the geometry. They are built from a combination of existing normals, and from the 2D texture coordinates already baked into the model. They can be used for a number of things, but most of all they are useful for vertex and fragment programs, when you wish to arrive at a common space for doing per-pixel calculations.
The prerequisites for calling this method include that the vertex data used by every SubMesh has both vertex normals and 2D texture coordinates.
Parameters:
sourceTexCoordSet The texture coordinate index which should be used as the source of 2D texture coordinates, with which to calculate the tangents.
destTexCoordSet The texture coordinate set which should be used to store the 3D coordinates representing a tangent vector per vertex. If this already exists, it will be overwritten.

size_t Ogre::Mesh::calculateSize void   )  const [protected, virtual, inherited]
 

Implements Ogre::Resource.

void Ogre::Resource::changeGroupOwnership const String newGroup  )  [inherited]
 

Change the resource group ownership of a Resource.

Remarks:
This method is generally reserved for internal use, although if you really know what you're doing you can use it to move this resource from one group to another.
Parameters:
newGroup Name of the new group

void Ogre::StringInterface::cleanupDictionary  )  [static, inherited]
 

Cleans up the static 'msDictionary' required to reset Ogre, otherwise the containers are left with invalid pointers, which will lead to a crash as soon as one of the ResourceManager implementers (e.g.

MaterialManager) initializes.

void Ogre::Mesh::clearBoneAssignments void   )  [inherited]
 

Removes all bone assignments for this mesh.

Remarks:
This method is for modifying weights to the shared geometry of the Mesh. To assign weights to the per-SubMesh geometry, see the equivalent methods on SubMesh.

MeshPtr Ogre::Mesh::clone const String newName,
const String newGroup = StringUtil::BLANK
[inherited]
 

Makes a copy of this mesh object and gives it a new name.

Remarks:
This is useful if you want to tweak an existing mesh without affecting the original one. The newly cloned mesh is registered with the MeshManager under the new name.
Parameters:
newName The name to give the clone
newGroup Optional name of the new group to assign the clone to; if you leave this blank, the clone will be assigned to the same group as this Mesh.

void Ogre::Mesh::compileBoneAssignments const VertexBoneAssignmentList boneAssignments,
unsigned short  numBlendWeightsPerVertex,
IndexMap blendIndexToBoneIndexMap,
VertexData targetVertexData
[protected, inherited]
 

Compile bone assignments into blend index and weight buffers.

virtual void Ogre::StringInterface::copyParametersTo StringInterface dest  )  const [virtual, inherited]
 

Method for copying this object's parameters to another object.

Remarks:
This method takes the values of all the object's parameters and tries to set the same values on the destination object. This provides a completely type independent way to copy parameters to other objects. Note that because of the String manipulation involved, this should not be regarded as an efficient process and should be saved for times outside of the rendering loop.
Any unrecognised parameters will be ignored as with setParameter method.
Parameters:
dest Pointer to object to have it's parameters set the same as this object.

Definition at line 296 of file OgreStringInterface.h.

References Ogre::ParamDictionary::mParamDefs, and Ogre::StringInterface::setParameter().

virtual Animation* Ogre::Mesh::createAnimation const String name,
Real  length
[virtual, inherited]
 

Creates a new Animation object for vertex animating this mesh.

Parameters:
name The name of this animation
length The length of the animation in seconds

void Ogre::Mesh::createManualLodLevel Real  fromDepth,
const String meshName
[inherited]
 

Adds a new manual level-of-detail entry to this Mesh.

Remarks:
As an alternative to generating lower level of detail versions of a mesh, you can use your own manually modelled meshes as lower level versions. This lets you have complete control over the LOD, and in addition lets you scale down other aspects of the model which cannot be done using the generated method; for example, you could use less detailed materials and / or use less bones in the skeleton if this is an animated mesh. Therefore for complex models you are likely to be better off modelling your LODs yourself and using this method, whilst for models with fairly simple materials and no animation you can just use the generateLodLevels method.
Parameters:
fromDepth The z value from which this Lod will apply.
meshName The name of the mesh which will be the lower level detail version.

bool Ogre::StringInterface::createParamDictionary const String className  )  [protected, inherited]
 

Internal method for creating a parameter dictionary for the class, if it does not already exist.

Remarks:
This method will check to see if a parameter dictionary exist for this class yet, and if not will create one. NB you must supply the name of the class (RTTI is not used or performance).
Parameters:
className the name of the class using the dictionary
Returns:

void Ogre::Mesh::generateLodLevels const LodDistanceList lodDistances,
ProgressiveMesh::VertexReductionQuota  reductionMethod,
Real  reductionValue
[inherited]
 

Automatically generates lower level of detail versions of this mesh for use when a simpler version of the model is acceptable for rendering.

Remarks:
There are 2 ways that you can create level-of-detail (LOD) versions of a mesh; the first is to call this method, which does fairly extensive calculations to work out how to simplify the mesh whilst having the minimum affect on the model. The alternative is to actually create simpler versions of the mesh yourself in a modelling tool, and having exported them, tell the 'master' mesh to use these alternative meshes for lower detail versions; this is done by calling the createManualLodLevel method.
As well as creating the lower detail versions of the mesh, this method will also associate them with depth values. As soon as an object is at least as far away from the camera as the depth value associated with it's LOD, it will drop to that level of detail.
I recommend calling this method before mesh export, not at runtime.
Parameters:
lodDistances A list of depth values indicating the distances at which new lods should be generated.
reductionMethod The way to determine the number of vertices collapsed per LOD
reductionValue Meaning depends on reductionMethod, typically either the proportion of remaining vertices to collapse or a fixed number of vertices.

void Ogre::Mesh::load void   )  [virtual, inherited]
 

Remarks:
If the resource is loaded from a file, loading is automatic. If not, if for example this resource gained it's data from procedural calls rather than loading from a file, then this resource will not reload on it's own

Reimplemented from Ogre::Resource.

void Ogre::Mesh::organiseTangentsBuffer VertexData vertexData,
unsigned short  destCoordSet
[protected, inherited]
 

Internal method for making the space for a 3D texture coord buffer to hold tangents.

void Ogre::Mesh::prepareForShadowVolume void   )  [inherited]
 

This method prepares the mesh for generating a renderable shadow volume.

Remarks:
Preparing a mesh to generate a shadow volume involves firstly ensuring that the vertex buffer containing the positions for the mesh is a standalone vertex buffer, with no other components in it. This method will therefore break apart any existing vertex buffers this mesh holds if position is sharing a vertex buffer. Secondly, it will double the size of this vertex buffer so that there are 2 copies of the position data for the mesh. The first half is used for the original, and the second half is used for the 'extruded' version of the mesh. The vertex count of the main VertexData used to render the mesh will remain the same though, so as not to add any overhead to regular rendering of the object. Both copies of the position are required in one buffer because shadow volumes stretch from the original mesh to the extruded version.
Because shadow volumes are rendered in turn, no additional index buffer space is allocated by this method, a shared index buffer allocated by the shadow rendering algorithm is used for addressing this extended vertex buffer.

virtual void Ogre::Resource::reload void   )  [virtual, inherited]
 

Reloads the resource, if it is already loaded.

Remarks:
Calls unload() and then load() again, if the resource is already loaded. If it is not loaded already, then nothing happens.

virtual void Ogre::Mesh::removeAllAnimations void   )  [virtual, inherited]
 

Removes all morph Animations from this mesh.

void Ogre::Mesh::removeAllPoses void   )  [inherited]
 

Destroy all poses.

virtual void Ogre::Mesh::removeAnimation const String name  )  [virtual, inherited]

void Ogre::Mesh::removeLodLevels void   )  [inherited]
 

Removes all LOD data from this Mesh.

void Ogre::Mesh::removePose const String name  )  [inherited]

Note:
This will invalidate any animation tracks referring to this pose or those after it.

void Ogre::Mesh::removePose ushort  index  )  [inherited]
 

Destroy a pose by index.

Note:
This will invalidate any animation tracks referring to this pose or those after it.

void Ogre::Mesh::setAutoBuildEdgeLists bool  autobuild  )  [inherited]
 

Sets whether or not this Mesh should automatically build edge lists when asked for them, or whether it should never build them if they are not already provided.

Remarks:
This allows you to create meshes which do not have edge lists calculated, because you never want to use them. This value defaults to 'true' for mesh formats which did not include edge data, and 'false' for newer formats, where edge lists are expected to have been generated in advance.

Definition at line 695 of file OgreMesh.h.

void Ogre::Mesh::setIndexBufferPolicy HardwareBuffer::Usage  usage,
bool  shadowBuffer = false
[inherited]
 

Sets the policy for the index buffers to be used when loading this Mesh.

Remarks:
By default, when loading the Mesh, static, write-only vertex and index buffers will be used where possible in order to improve rendering performance. However, such buffers cannot be manipulated on the fly by CPU code (although shader code can). If you wish to use the CPU to modify these buffers, you should call this method. Note, however, that it only takes effect after the Mesh has been reloaded. Note that you still have the option of manually repacing the buffers in this mesh with your own if you see fit too, in which case you don't need to call this method since it only affects buffers created by the mesh itself.
You can define the approach to a Mesh by changing the default parameters to MeshManager::load if you wish; this means the Mesh is loaded with those options the first time instead of you having to reload the mesh after changing these options.
Parameters:
usage The usage flags, which by default are HardwareBuffer::HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY
shadowBuffer If set to true, the index buffers will be created with a system memory shadow buffer. You should set this if you want to be able to read from the buffer, because reading from a hardware buffer is a no-no.

virtual bool Ogre::StringInterface::setParameter const String name,
const String value
[virtual, inherited]
 

Generic parameter setting method.

Remarks:
Call this method with the name of a parameter and a string version of the value to set. The implementor will convert the string to a native type internally. If in doubt, check the parameter definition in the list returned from StringInterface::getParameters.
Parameters:
name The name of the parameter to set
value String value. Must be in the right format for the type specified in the parameter definition. See the StringConverter class for more information.
Returns:
true if set was successful, false otherwise (NB no exceptions thrown - tolerant method)

Referenced by Ogre::StringInterface::copyParametersTo().

virtual void Ogre::StringInterface::setParameterList const NameValuePairList paramList  )  [virtual, inherited]
 

Generic multiple parameter setting method.

Remarks:
Call this method with a list of name / value pairs to set. The implementor will convert the string to a native type internally. If in doubt, check the parameter definition in the list returned from StringInterface::getParameters.
Parameters:
paramList Name/value pair list

void Ogre::Mesh::setSkeletonName const String skelName  )  [inherited]
 

Sets the name of the skeleton this Mesh uses for animation.

Remarks:
Meshes can optionally be assigned a skeleton which can be used to animate the mesh through bone assignments. The default is for the Mesh to use no skeleton. Calling this method with a valid skeleton filename will cause the skeleton to be loaded if it is not already (a single skeleton can be shared by many Mesh objects).
Parameters:
skelName The name of the .skeleton file to use, or an empty string to use no skeleton

void Ogre::PatchMesh::setSubdivision Real  factor  ) 
 

void Ogre::Mesh::setVertexBufferPolicy HardwareBuffer::Usage  usage,
bool  shadowBuffer = false
[inherited]
 

Sets the policy for the vertex buffers to be used when loading this Mesh.

Remarks:
By default, when loading the Mesh, static, write-only vertex and index buffers will be used where possible in order to improve rendering performance. However, such buffers cannot be manipulated on the fly by CPU code (although shader code can). If you wish to use the CPU to modify these buffers, you should call this method. Note, however, that it only takes effect after the Mesh has been reloaded. Note that you still have the option of manually repacing the buffers in this mesh with your own if you see fit too, in which case you don't need to call this method since it only affects buffers created by the mesh itself.
You can define the approach to a Mesh by changing the default parameters to MeshManager::load if you wish; this means the Mesh is loaded with those options the first time instead of you having to reload the mesh after changing these options.
Parameters:
usage The usage flags, which by default are HardwareBuffer::HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY
shadowBuffer If set to true, the vertex buffers will be created with a system memory shadow buffer. You should set this if you want to be able to read from the buffer, because reading from a hardware buffer is a no-no.

void Ogre::Mesh::softwareVertexBlend const VertexData sourceVertexData,
const VertexData targetVertexData,
const Matrix4 pMatrices,
const unsigned short *  pIndexMap,
bool  blendNormals
[static, inherited]
 

Performs a software indexed vertex blend, of the kind used for skeletal animation although it can be used for other purposes.

Remarks:
This function is supplied to update vertex data with blends done in software, either because no hardware support is available, or that you need the results of the blend for some other CPU operations.
Parameters:
sourceVertexData VertexData class containing positions, normals, blend indices and blend weights.
targetVertexData VertexData class containing target position and normal buffers which will be updated with the blended versions. Note that the layout of the source and target position / normal buffers must be identical, ie they must use the same buffer indexes
pMatrices Pointer to an array of matrices to be used to blend
pIndexMap Pointer to an array of indices to translate blend indices in the sourceVertexData to the index of pMatrices
blendNormals If true, normals are blended as well as positions

void Ogre::Mesh::softwareVertexMorph Real  t,
const HardwareVertexBufferSharedPtr b1,
const HardwareVertexBufferSharedPtr b2,
VertexData targetVertexData
[static, inherited]
 

Performs a software vertex morph, of the kind used for morph animation although it can be used for other purposes.

Remarks:
This function will linearly interpolate positions between two source buffers, into a third buffer.
Parameters:
t Parametric distance between the start and end buffer positions
b1 Vertex buffer containing VET_FLOAT3 entries for the start positions
b2 Vertex buffer containing VET_FLOAT3 entries for the end positions
targetVertexData VertexData destination; assumed to have a separate position buffer already bound, and the number of vertices must agree with the number in start and end

void Ogre::Mesh::softwareVertexPoseBlend Real  weight,
const std::map< size_t, Vector3 > &  vertexOffsetMap,
VertexData targetVertexData
[static, inherited]
 

Performs a software vertex pose blend, of the kind used for morph animation although it can be used for other purposes.

Remarks:
This function will apply a weighted offset to the positions in the incoming vertex data (therefore this is a read/write operation, and if you expect to call it more than once with the same data, then you would be best to suppress hardware uploads of the position buffer for the duration)
Parameters:
weight Parametric weight to scale the offsets by
vertexOffsetMap Potentially sparse map of vertex index -> offset
targetVertexData VertexData destination; assumed to have a separate position buffer already bound, and the number of vertices must agree with the number in start and end

bool Ogre::Mesh::suggestTangentVectorBuildParams unsigned short &  outSourceCoordSet,
unsigned short &  outDestCoordSet
[inherited]
 

Ask the mesh to suggest parameters to a future buildTangentVectors call.

Remarks:
This helper method will suggest source and destination texture coordinate sets for a call to buildTangentVectors. It will detect when there are inappropriate conditions (such as multiple geometry sets which don't agree). Moreover, it will return 'true' if it detects that there are aleady 3D coordinates in the mesh, and therefore tangents may have been prepared already.
Parameters:
outSourceCoordSet Reference to a source texture coordinate set which will be populated
outDestCoordSet Reference to a destination texture coordinate set which will be populated

virtual void Ogre::Resource::touch void   )  [virtual, inherited]
 

'Touches' the resource to indicate it has been used.

Reimplemented in Ogre::Material.

virtual void Ogre::Resource::unload void   )  [virtual, inherited]
 

Unloads the resource; this is not permanent, the resource can be reloaded later if required.

Reimplemented in Ogre::GLSLGpuProgram.

void Ogre::Mesh::unloadImpl void   )  [protected, virtual, inherited]
 

Implements Ogre::Resource.

void Ogre::Mesh::updateManualLodLevel ushort  index,
const String meshName
[inherited]
 

Changes the alternate mesh to use as a manual LOD at the given index.

Remarks:
Note that the index of a LOD may change if you insert other LODs. If in doubt, use getLodIndex().
Parameters:
index The index of the level to be changed
meshName The name of the mesh which will be the lower level detail version.

void Ogre::Mesh::updateMaterialForAllSubMeshes void   )  [inherited]
 

Iterates through all submeshes and requests them to apply their texture aliases to the material they use.

Remarks:
The submesh will only apply texture aliases to the material if matching texture alias names are found in the material. If a match is found, the submesh will automatically clone the original material and then apply its texture to the new material.
This method is normally called by the protected method loadImpl when a mesh if first loaded.

IndexMap Ogre::Mesh::sharedBlendIndexToBoneIndexMap [inherited]
 

Shared index map for translating blend index to bone index.

Remarks:
This index map can be shared among multiple submeshes. SubMeshes might not have their own IndexMap, they might share this one.
We collect actually used bones of all bone assignments, and build the blend index in 'packed' form, then the range of the blend index in vertex data VES_BLEND_INDICES element is continuous, with no gaps. Thus, by minimising the world matrix array constants passing to GPU, we can support more bones for a mesh when hardware skinning is used. The hardware skinning support limit is applied to each set of vertex data in the mesh, in other words, the hardware skinning support limit is applied only to the actually used bones of each SubMeshes, not all bones across the entire Mesh.
Because the blend index is different to the bone index, therefore, we use the index map to translate the blend index to bone index.
The use of shared or non-shared index map is determined when model data is converted to the OGRE .mesh format.

Definition at line 263 of file OgreMesh.h.

VertexData* Ogre::Mesh::sharedVertexData [inherited]
