A mesh is defined in a 3D scene and the same one can be referred to any number of times by world objects.
Properties
materials |
A collection of all the named materials in the mesh file. |
lodOrigin |
A Vector that determines the origin for LOD calculations. |
defaultScript |
A string containing the script that will be used for all new objects that use this mesh. |
title |
A string descriptive title of the mesh. |
tags |
A string containing all the tags defined by the user for the mesh (comma separated). |
Methods
loadFromFile(filename, inBackground) |
Changes the mesh by loading a new file from disk or from a URL. The inBackground property is a boolean value that when true will not interrupt the playback and instead load the mesh during idle time (defaults to false). You can check on the load progress with system.getLoadProgress(filename). |
materialsGetArray() |
Returns all the material ids as an Array of Material objects. |
subgroupAdd(name) |
Adds a new subgroup into the root of the mesh and gives it an optional name. Returns a Subgroup class or null if failed. |
materialAdd(name) |
Adds a new material into the mesh and gives the name supplied. Returns a Material class or null if failed. |
Examples
meshes.cube.materials.facemat.ambient = new Color(1.0,1.0,1.0); // set the facemat material in 'cube' mesh.
meshes.cube.loadFromFile("c:\\demo\\mymesh.x"); // Changes the mesh file of the 'cube' mesh to a new one from disk.
meshes.cube.loadFromFile("http://www.dxstudio.com/examples/wooden_cart.dxmesh.zip"); // Changes the mesh file of the 'cube' mesh to a new one from a URL
