List of all members.

Public Member Functions
PX_INLINE	RenderMeshActorDesc ()
	constructor sets to default.
PX_INLINE void	setToDefault ()
	(re)sets the structure to the default.
PX_INLINE bool	isValid () const
	Returns true if the descriptor is valid.
Public Attributes
bool	visible
	Initial visibility of all parts.
bool	bufferVisibility
	If this set to true, render visibility will not be updated until the user calls syncVisibility().
bool	keepVisibleBonesPacked
	Pack visible bones.
bool	renderWithoutSkinning
	Render without skinning.
bool	forceFallbackSkinning
	Enforce the use of fallback skinning.
uint32_t	maxInstanceCount
	If maxInstanceCount = 0, mesh will be renedered without instancing. Otherwise, instance buffers (below) will be used.
RenderBufferHint::Enum	indexBufferHint
	Hint passed along to the user describing whether the index buffer of this render mesh can be modified.
const char **	overrideMaterials
	Per-actor material names, to override those in the asset. The number of override material names is given by overrideMaterialCount.
uint32_t	overrideMaterialCount
	Number of override material names in the overrideMaterials array. If this number is less than the number of materials in the asset, only the first overrideMaterialCount names will be overridden. If this number is greater than the number of materials in the asset, the extra override material names will be ignored.
bool	keepPreviousFrameBoneBuffer
	If true, the previous frame's bone buffer is kept and delivered during updateRenderResources as a second bone buffer.
bool	forceBoneIndexChannel
	If true, a static runtime bone index channel will be created.

PX_INLINE bool nvidia::apex::RenderMeshActorDesc::isValid

(

void

const [inline]

Returns true if the descriptor is valid.

Returns:

true if the current settings are valid.

Reimplemented from nvidia::apex::ApexDesc.

Member Data Documentation

bool nvidia::apex::RenderMeshActorDesc::forceFallbackSkinning

Enforce the use of fallback skinning.

This will not create render resources with bone buffers since all the skinning will be done on the CPU already. Does not work if keepVisibleBones is set. These two features are mutually exclusive.

bool nvidia::apex::RenderMeshActorDesc::keepVisibleBonesPacked

Pack visible bones.

If set, bone transform order will be maitained in an order that keeps visible bones contiguous. This is more efficient for cases where there are large number of nonvisible parts (it reduces the number of bone transforms that need to be updated in writeBuffer). This only works when vertices are single-weighted, and the number of bones equals the number of parts.

bool nvidia::apex::RenderMeshActorDesc::renderWithoutSkinning

Render without skinning.

If set, all vertices will be transformed by one transform, set using RenderMeshActor::setTM with boneIndex = 0 (the default).
