Detailed Description

Descriptor-like user-side class describing buffers for particle creation. (deprecated).

PxParticleCreationData is used to create particles within the SDK. The SDK copies the particle data referenced by PxParticleCreationData, it may therefore be deallocated right after the creation call returned.

Deprecated:: The PhysX particle feature has been deprecated in PhysX version 3.4

Member Data Documentation

PxStrideIterator<const PxU32> PxParticleCreationData::flagBuffer

Particle flags.

PxParticleFlag.eVALID, PxParticleFlag.eCOLLISION_WITH_STATIC, PxParticleFlag.eCOLLISION_WITH_DYNAMIC, PxParticleFlag.eCOLLISION_WITH_DRAIN, PxParticleFlag.eSPATIAL_DATA_STRUCTURE_OVERFLOW are all flags that can't be set on particle creation. They are written by the SDK exclusively.

Providing flag data is optional.

PxStrideIterator<const PxU32> PxParticleCreationData::indexBuffer

Particle index data.

When creating particles, providing the particle indices is mandatory.

Referenced by isValid(), and PxParticleCreationData().

PxU32 PxParticleCreationData::numParticles

The number of particles stored in the buffer.

Referenced by isValid().

PxStrideIterator<const PxVec3> PxParticleCreationData::positionBuffer

Particle position data.

When creating particles, providing the particle positions is mandatory.

Referenced by isValid(), and PxParticleCreationData().

PxStrideIterator<const PxF32> PxParticleCreationData::restOffsetBuffer

Particle rest offset data.

Values need to be in the range [0.0f, restOffset]. If PxParticleBaseFlag.ePER_PARTICLE_REST_OFFSET is set, providing per particle rest offset data is mandatory.
