[virtual]

Member Function Documentation

PLMESH_API PLRenderer::Renderer* PLMesh::MeshManager::GetRenderer

(

)

const

Returns the used renderer.

Returns:

Pointer to the renderer the meshes should use, can be a null pointer

PLMESH_API Mesh* PLMesh::MeshManager::CreateMesh

(

)

Creates the mesh and adds the required LODs.

Returns:

The created mesh, a null pointer on error

Note:

• If the mesh is created, the 'Material' is added automatically

PLMESH_API Mesh* PLMesh::MeshManager::CreateMesh	(	const PLCore::String &	sName,
		bool	bStatic = true
	)

Creates a new mesh resource.

Parameters:

[in]	sName	Resource name, if empty an unused name is set automatically
[in]	bStatic	Static mesh? (better performance!)

Returns:

Pointer to the created resource, a null pointer if there was an error

Note:

• If there's already a resource with this name, this resource is returned

PLMESH_API Mesh* PLMesh::MeshManager::CreateMesh	(	const PLCore::String &	sName,
		bool	bStatic,
		const PLCore::String &	sParameters
	)

Creates a mesh resource using a mesh creator.

Parameters:

[in]	sName	Mesh creator class name (for instance "MeshCreatorSphere")
[in]	bStatic	Static mesh? (better performance!)
[in]	sParameters	Mesh creator parameters. (for instance "Radius='4.0' Detail='20'") This parameters depend on the used mesh creator.

Returns:

Pointer to the created resource, a null pointer if there was an error (maybe unknown class or the class is not derived from 'MeshCreator')

PLMESH_API Mesh* PLMesh::MeshManager::LoadMesh	(	const PLCore::String &	sFilename,
		const PLCore::String &	sParams = "",
		const PLCore::String &	sMethod = "",
		bool	bReloadMesh = false,
		bool	bStatic = true
	)

Load mesh.

Parameters:

[in]	sFilename	Mesh filename. It's also possible to create meshes dynamically. "Create MeshCreatorSphere Name=\"Sphere" Radius="4.0" Detail="20.0"" For instance will use the mesh creator class 'MeshCreatorSphere' to create a mesh with the name 'Sphere' and some parameters.
[in]	sParams	Optional load method parameters, can be an empty string
[in]	sMethod	Optional name of the load method to use, can be an empty string
[in]	bReloadMesh	Force mesh itself to be reloaded?
[in]	bStatic	Static mesh? (better performance!)

Returns:

The loaded mesh, a null pointer on error

PLMESH_API SkeletonManager& PLMesh::MeshManager::GetSkeletonManager

(

)

const

Returns the skeleton manager.

Returns:

The skeleton manager
