Constructors

Mesh()

Initializes a new instance of the Mesh.

Declaration

Declaration

[Unmanaged]
[Tooltip("Determines whether this mesh has a vertex colors buffer.")]
public bool HasVertexColors { get; }

Property Value

System.Boolean

IndexBufferFormat

Methods

DownloadIndexBuffer(Boolean)

Downloads the index buffer that contains mesh triangles data. To download data from GPU set forceGpu to true and call this method from the thread other than main thread (see IsInMainThread).

Declaration

public int[] DownloadIndexBuffer(bool forceGpu = false)

Parameters

System.Boolean forceGpu If set to true the data will be downloaded from the GPU, otherwise it can be loaded from the drive (source asset file) or from memory (if cached). Downloading mesh from GPU requires this call to be made from the other thread than main thread. Virtual assets are always downloaded from GPU memory due to lack of dedicated storage container for the asset data.

Returns

System.Int32[] The gathered data.

Remarks

If mesh index buffer format (see IndexBufferFormat) is R16_UInt then it's faster to call .

DownloadIndexBufferUShort(Boolean)

Downloads the index buffer that contains mesh triangles data. To download data from GPU set forceGpu to true and call this method from the thread other than main thread (see IsInMainThread).

Declaration

public ushort[] DownloadIndexBufferUShort(bool forceGpu = false)

Parameters

System.Boolean forceGpu If set to true the data will be downloaded from the GPU, otherwise it can be loaded from the drive (source asset file) or from memory (if cached). Downloading mesh from GPU requires this call to be made from the other thread than main thread. Virtual assets are always downloaded from GPU memory due to lack of dedicated storage container for the asset data.

Returns

System.UInt16[] The gathered data.

Remarks

If mesh index buffer format (see IndexBufferFormat) is R32_UInt then data won't be downloaded.

DownloadVertexBuffer(Boolean)

Downloads the raw vertex buffer that contains mesh vertices data. To download data from GPU set forceGpu to true and call this method from the thread other than main thread (see IsInMainThread).

Declaration

public Mesh.Vertex[] DownloadVertexBuffer(bool forceGpu = false)

Parameters

System.Boolean forceGpu If set to true the data will be downloaded from the GPU, otherwise it can be loaded from the drive (source asset file) or from memory (if cached). Downloading mesh from GPU requires this call to be made from the other thread than main thread. Virtual assets are always downloaded from GPU memory due to lack of dedicated storage container for the asset data.

Returns

Mesh.Vertex[] The gathered data.

DownloadVertexBuffer0(Boolean)

Downloads the first vertex buffer that contains mesh vertices data. To download data from GPU set forceGpu to true and call this method from the thread other than main thread (see IsInMainThread).

Declaration

public Mesh.Vertex0[] DownloadVertexBuffer0(bool forceGpu = false)

Parameters

System.Boolean forceGpu If set to true the data will be downloaded from the GPU, otherwise it can be loaded from the drive (source asset file) or from memory (if cached). Downloading mesh from GPU requires this call to be made from the other thread than main thread. Virtual assets are always downloaded from GPU memory due to lack of dedicated storage container for the asset data.

Returns

Mesh.Vertex0[] The gathered data.

DownloadVertexBuffer1(Boolean)

Downloads the second vertex buffer that contains mesh vertices data. To download data from GPU set forceGpu to true and call this method from the thread other than main thread (see IsInMainThread).

Declaration

public Mesh.Vertex1[] DownloadVertexBuffer1(bool forceGpu = false)

Parameters

System.Boolean forceGpu If set to true the data will be downloaded from the GPU, otherwise it can be loaded from the drive (source asset file) or from memory (if cached). Downloading mesh from GPU requires this call to be made from the other thread than main thread. Virtual assets are always downloaded from GPU memory due to lack of dedicated storage container for the asset data.

Returns

Mesh.Vertex1[] The gathered data.

DownloadVertexBuffer2(Boolean)

Downloads the third vertex buffer that contains mesh vertices data. To download data from GPU set forceGpu to true and call this method from the thread other than main thread (see IsInMainThread).

Declaration

public Mesh.Vertex2[] DownloadVertexBuffer2(bool forceGpu = false)

Parameters

System.Boolean forceGpu If set to true the data will be downloaded from the GPU, otherwise it can be loaded from the drive (source asset file) or from memory (if cached). Downloading mesh from GPU requires this call to be made from the other thread than main thread. Virtual assets are always downloaded from GPU memory due to lack of dedicated storage container for the asset data.

Returns

Mesh.Vertex2[] The gathered data or null if mesh has no vertex colors.

Remarks

If mesh has no vertex colors (stored in vertex buffer 2) the returned value is null.

Draw(ref RenderContext, MaterialBase, ref Matrix, StaticFlags, Boolean, DrawPass, Single)
