Detailed Description

Defines a part of a complete mesh.

Remarks
Meshes which make up the definition of a discrete 3D object are made up of potentially multiple parts. This is because different parts of the mesh may use different materials or use different vertex formats, such that a rendering state change is required between them.
Like the Mesh class, instantiations of 3D objects in the scene share the SubMesh instances, and have the option of overriding their material differences on a per-object basis if required. See the SubEntity class for more information.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef vector<unsigned short>::type Ogre::SubMesh::IndexMap

Dedicated index map for translate blend index to bone index (only valid if useSharedVertices = false).

Remarks
This data is completely owned by this submesh.
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.

Member Function Documentation

void Ogre::SubMesh::_compileBoneAssignments ( void  )

Must be called once to compile bone assignments into geometry buffer.

void Ogre::SubMesh::_getRenderOperation ( RenderOperation rend,
ushort  lodIndex = 0 
)

Returns a RenderOperation structure required to render this mesh.

Parameters
rendReference to a RenderOperation structure to populate.
lodIndexThe index of the LOD to use.
void Ogre::SubMesh::addBoneAssignment ( const VertexBoneAssignment vertBoneAssign)

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 dedicated geometry of the SubMesh. To assign weights to the shared Mesh geometry, see the equivalent methods on Mesh.
void Ogre::SubMesh::addTextureAlias ( const String aliasName,
const String textureName 
)

Adds the alias or replaces an existing one and associates the texture name to it.

Remarks
The submesh uses the texture alias to replace textures used in the material applied to the submesh.
Parameters
aliasNameis the name of the alias.
textureNameis the name of the texture to be associated with the alias
void Ogre::SubMesh::clearBoneAssignments ( void  )

Removes all bone assignments for this mesh.

This method is for assigning weights to the dedicated geometry of the SubMesh. To assign weights to the shared Mesh geometry, see the equivalent methods on Mesh.
void Ogre::SubMesh::generateExtremes ( size_t  count)

void Ogre::SubMesh::removeAllTextureAliases ( void  )

void Ogre::SubMesh::removeLodLevels ( void  )
protected

Internal method for removing LOD data.

void Ogre::SubMesh::removeTextureAlias ( const String aliasName)

Remove a specific texture alias name from the sub mesh.

Parameters
aliasNameis the name of the alias to be removed. If it is not found then it is ignored.
void Ogre::SubMesh::setBuildEdgesEnabled ( bool  b)
void Ogre::SubMesh::setMaterialName ( const String matName,
const String groupName = ResourceGroupManager::AUTODETECT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME 
)

Sets the name of the Material which this SubMesh will use.

bool Ogre::SubMesh::updateMaterialUsingTextureAliases ( void  )

The current material used by the submesh is copied into a new material and the submesh's texture aliases are applied if the current texture alias names match those found in the original material.

Remarks
The submesh's texture aliases must be setup prior to calling this method. If a new material has to be created, the subMesh autogenerates the new name. The new name is the old name + "_" + number.
Returns
True if texture aliases were applied and a new material was created.

IndexMap Ogre::SubMesh::blendIndexToBoneIndexMap

Definition at line 111 of file OgreSubMesh.h.

vector<Vector3>::type Ogre::SubMesh::extremityPoints

A list of extreme points on the submesh (optional).

Remarks
These points are some arbitrary points on the mesh that are used by engine to better sort submeshes by depth. This doesn't matter much for non-transparent submeshes, as Z-buffer takes care of invisible surface culling anyway, but is pretty useful for semi-transparent submeshes because the order in which transparent submeshes must be rendered cannot be always correctly deduced from entity position.
These points are intelligently chosen from the points that make up the submesh, the criteria for choosing them should be that these points somewhat characterize the submesh outline, e.g. they should not be close to each other, and they should be on the outer hull of the submesh. They can be stored in the .mesh file, or generated at runtime (see generateExtremes ()).
If this array is empty, submesh sorting is done like in older versions - by comparing the positions of the owning entity.
