Detailed Description

This interface describes the API for the instancing mesh factory.

iInstancingFactoryState inherits from iInstancingMeshCommonState. All methods from iInstancingMeshCommonState as set on the factory will serve as defaults for mesh objects that are created from this factory AFTER the default value is set. So changing such a value on the factory will have no effect on meshes already created. The material wrapper is an exception to this rule. Setting that on the factory will have an effect immediatelly on all mesh objects created from that factory except for those mesh objects that have their own material set.

Main creators of instances implementing this interface:

• Instmesh mesh object plugin (crystalspace.mesh.object.instmesh)
• iMeshObjectType::NewFactory()

Main ways to get pointers to this interface:

• scfQueryInterface() on iMeshFactoryWrapper::GetMeshObjectFactory()

Main users of this interface:

• Instmesh Factory Loader plugin (crystalspace.mesh.loader.factory.instmesh)

Member Function Documentation

virtual void iInstancingFactoryState::AddTriangle

(

const csTriangle &

tri

)

[pure virtual]

Add a triangle.

virtual void iInstancingFactoryState::AddVertex	(	const csVector3 &	v,
		const csVector2 &	uv,
		const csVector3 &	normal,
		const csColor4 &	color
	)			[pure virtual]

Add a vertex.

virtual void iInstancingFactoryState::CalculateNormals

(

bool

compress = true

)

[pure virtual]

Automatically calculate normals based on the current mesh.

/param compress if true (default) then calculate the normals based on compressed vertices.

virtual void iInstancingFactoryState::Compress

(

)

[pure virtual]

Compress the vertex table.

This should be called after setting up the geometry.

virtual void iInstancingFactoryState::GenerateBox

(

const csBox3 &

box

)

[pure virtual]

Automatically generate a box.

This will set the number of vertices to eight and generate vertices, texels, and triangles. The colors and normals are not initialized here.

virtual void iInstancingFactoryState::GenerateQuad	(	const csVector3 &	v1,
		const csVector3 &	v2,
		const csVector3 &	v3,
		const csVector3 &	v4
	)			[pure virtual]

Automatically generate a qad.

virtual void iInstancingFactoryState::GenerateSphere	(	const csEllipsoid &	sphere,
		int	rim_vertices,
		bool	cyl_mapping = false,
		bool	toponly = false,
		bool	reversed = false
	)			[pure virtual]

Automatically generate a sphere.

This will set the apropriate number of vertices and generate vertices, texels, normals, and triangles. The colors are not initialized here.

Parameters:

	sphere	Properties of the ellipsoid to generate.
	rim_vertices	Number of vertices on a rim.
	cyl_mapping	if true then use cylindrical texture mapping.
	toponly	if true then only generate the top half of the sphere.
	reversed	if true then generate the sphere so it is visible from the inside.

virtual const csColor& iInstancingFactoryState::GetColor

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the color.

virtual const csColor4* iInstancingFactoryState::GetColors

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get the array of colors.

virtual const csVector3* iInstancingFactoryState::GetNormals

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get the array of normals.

virtual const csVector2* iInstancingFactoryState::GetTexels

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get the array of texels.

virtual size_t iInstancingFactoryState::GetTriangleCount

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the number of triangles for this mesh.

virtual const csTriangle* iInstancingFactoryState::GetTriangles

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get the array of triangles.

virtual size_t iInstancingFactoryState::GetVertexCount

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Get the number of vertices for this mesh.

virtual const csVector3* iInstancingFactoryState::GetVertices

(

)

[pure virtual]

Get the array of vertices.

virtual bool iInstancingFactoryState::IsAutoNormals

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns whether normals were autogenerated or manual.

virtual void iInstancingFactoryState::SetColor

(

const csColor &

col

)

[pure virtual]

Set the color to use. Will be added to the lighting values.
