Detailed Description

-

A triangle mesh data structure that can be rendered with a ShaderProgram like DefaultShader.

-

The mesh can be created algorithmically by adding triangles one at a time or it can be loaded from an .obj file.

-

Vertices are required – you cannot have a mesh without vertices, but other attributes (normals, colors, texture coordinates) are optional. When Draw() is called the mesh will automatically set these other attributes if available.

-

Example of loading from a file:

// during initialization

-Mesh m;

-m.LoadFromOBJ(Platform::FindMinGfxDataFile("teapot.obj"));

-// also create a shader to draw it.

-DefaultShader s;

- 

- 

-// later to draw

-Matrix4 M;

-Matrix4 V = Matrix4::LookAt(Point3(0,0,3), Point3(0,0,0), Vector3(0,1,0));

-Matrix4 P = Matrix4::Perspective(60.0, aspect_ratio(), 0.1, 10.0);

-s.Draw(M, V, P, m, DefaultShader::MaterialProperties());

-

-

Example of creating a mesh algorithmically:

Mesh mesh1;

-int tri_id;

-// add a first triangle

-tri_id = mesh1.AddTriangle(Point3(0,0,0), Point3(1,0,0), Point3(1,1,0));

-// set attributes for the vertices

-mesh1.SetNormals(tri_id, Vector3(0,0,1), Vector3(0,0,1), Vector3(0,0,1));

-mesh1.SetTexCoords(tri_id, 0, Point2(0,1), Point2(1,1), Point2(1,0));

- 

-// add a second triangle and attributes

-tri_id = mesh1.AddTriangle(Point3(0,0,0), Point3(1,1,0), Point3(0,1,0));

-mesh1.SetNormals(tri_id, Vector3(0,0,1), Vector3(0,0,1), Vector3(0,0,1));

-mesh1.SetTexCoords(tri_id, 0, Point2(0,1), Point2(1,0), Point2(0,0));

- 

-// call this when done to save to the GPU

-mesh1.UpdateGPUMemory();

- 

-// then you can draw the same way as in the previous example.

-

In the mode used above where you add one triangle at a time there is no way to reuse vertices in multiple triangles. If you need to do this for efficiency or other reasons, then you can use an indexed faces mode where you set the mesh data structures directly.

-

Example of creating a mesh that renders in an indexed faces mode:

std::vector<unsigned int> indices;

-std::vector<Point3> vertices;

-std::vector<Vector3> normals;

-std::vector<Point2> texcoords;

- 

-// four vertices, each requires 3 floats: (x,y,z)

-vertices.push_back(Point3(0,0,0));

-vertices.push_back(Point3(1,0,0));

-vertices.push_back(Point3(1,1,0));

-vertices.push_back(Point3(0,1,0));

- 

-// four normals, each requires 3 floats: (x,y,z)

-normals.push_back(Vector3(0,0,1));

-normals.push_back(Vector3(0,0,1));

-normals.push_back(Vector3(0,0,1));

-normals.push_back(Vector3(0,0,1));

- 

-// four texture coords, each requires 2 floats: (u,v)

-texcoords.push_back(Point2(0,1));

-texcoords.push_back(Point2(1,1));

-texcoords.push_back(Point2(1,0));

-texcoords.push_back(Point2(0,0));

- 

-// indices into the arrays above for the first triangle

-indices.push_back(0); 

-indices.push_back(1); 

-indices.push_back(2);

- 

-// indices for the second triangle, note some are reused

-indices.push_back(0); 

-indices.push_back(2); 

-indices.push_back(3);

- 

-Mesh mesh1;

-mesh1.SetVertices(vertices);

-mesh1.SetNormals(normals);

-mesh1.SetTexCoords(0, texcoords);

-mesh1.SetIndices(indices);

-mesh1.UpdateGPUMemory();

- 

-// then you can draw the same way as in the previous example.

◆ AddTriangle()

- -

-

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

int mingfx::Mesh::AddTriangle	(	Point3	v1,
		Point3	v2,
		Point3	v3
	)

-

- -

Adds a triangle to the mesh datastructure and returns a triangle ID.

-

The ID should then be used as the first argument for follow-on calls to SetNormals(), SetColors(), and SetTexCoords(). The vertices must be specified in counter-clockwise order so that the normal of the triangle can be determined following the right-hand rule.

- -

-

- -

◆ BuildBVH()

- -

-

- - - - - - - -

void mingfx::Mesh::BuildBVH ( )

-

- -

This (re)calculates a Bounding Volume Hierarchy for the mesh, which can be used together with Ray::FastIntersectMesh() to do faster ray-mesh intersection testing.

- -

-

- -

◆ bvh_ptr()

- -

-

- - - - - - - -

BVH* mingfx::Mesh::bvh_ptr ( )

-

- -

Returns a pointer to the underlying BVH data structure.

-

If the data struture has not yet been build or needs to be updated due to a change in the geometry of the mesh, then the BVH is recalculated before returning the pointer.

- -

-

- -

◆ CalcPerFaceNormals()

- -

-

- - - - - - - -

void mingfx::Mesh::CalcPerFaceNormals ( )

-

- -

This (re)calculates the normals for the mesh and stores them with the mesh data structure.

-

It assumes a faceted mesh, like a cube, where each triangle has separate vertices. The normal is calculated for each triangle face and then the result is associated with each vertex that makes up the triangle. If you have a smooth mesh where vertices are shared between multiple faces then use CalcPerVertexNormals() instead.

- -

-

- -

◆ CalcPerVertexNormals()

- -

-

- - - - - - - -

void mingfx::Mesh::CalcPerVertexNormals ( )

-

- -

This (re)calculates the normals for the mesh and stores them with the mesh data structure.

-

It assumes a smooth mesh, like a sphere, where each vertex belongs to one or more triangles. Each vertex normal is calculated as a weighted sum of the face normals for adjacent faces. The weighting is based upon the relative areas of the neighboring faces (i.e., a large neighboring triangle contributes more to the vertex normal than a small one).

- -

-

- -

◆ Draw()

- -

-

- - - - - - - -

void mingfx::Mesh::Draw ( )

-

- -

This sends the mesh vertices and attributes down the graphics pipe using glDrawArrays() for the non-indexed mode and glDrawElements() for the indexed mode.

-

This is just the geometry – for anything to show up on the screen, you must already have a ShaderProgram enabled before calling this function.

- -

-

- -

◆ LoadFromOBJ()

- -

-

- - - - - - - - -

void mingfx::Mesh::LoadFromOBJ ( const std::string & filename )

-

- -

This reads a mesh stored in the common Wavefront Obj file format.

-

The loader here is simplistic and not guaranteed to work on all valid .obj files, but it should work on many simple ones. UpdateGPUMemory() is called automatically after the model is loaded.

- -

-

This copies the entire mesh data structure to a vertex array in GPU memory, which must happen before you can draw the mesh.

For large meshes, this can take some time, so you may want to call this during initialization immediately after generating the mesh.

If the mesh contains normals, per- vertex colors and/or texture coordinates these are added as attributes within the vertex array.

	This (re)calculates the normals for the mesh and stores them with the mesh data structure. More...

void	CalcPerVertexNormals ()
	This (re)calculates the normals for the mesh and stores them with the mesh data structure. More...

void	BuildBVH ()
	This (re)calculates a Bounding Volume Hierarchy for the mesh, which can be used together with Ray::FastIntersectMesh() to do faster ray-mesh intersection testing. More...

BVH *	bvh_ptr ()
	Returns a pointer to the underlying BVH data structure. More...

int	num_vertices () const
	The total number of vertices in the mesh. More...

Point3	read_vertex_data (int vertex_id) const
	Read only access to the vertex position data. Data are returned as a Point3. Indexed by vertex number. Also see num_vertices(). Use the SetVertices() function to set (or edit) vertex data. More...

Vector3	read_normal_data (int vertex_id) const
	Read only access to per-vertex normal data. Data are returned as a Vector3. Indexed by vertex number. Also see num_vertices(). Use the SetNormals() function to set (or edit) per-vertex normal data. More...

Color	read_color_data (int vertex_id) const
	Read only access to per-vertex color data. Data are returned as a Color. Indexed by vertex number. Also see num_vertices(). Use the SetColors() function to set (or edit) per-vertex color data. More...

Point2	read_tex_coords_data (int texture_unit, int vertex_id) const
	Read only access to per-vertex texture coordinates data. Data are returned as a Point2. Indexed by vertex number. Also see num_vertices(). Use the SetTexCoords() function to set (or edit) per-vertex tex coords. More...

int	num_triangles () const
	The total number of triangles in the mesh. More...

std::vector< unsigned int >	read_triangle_indices_data (int triangle_id) const
	Read only access to the indices that make up a particular triangle. Data are returned as a 3-element array. More...
