VMDL/Mesh

Template:Otherlang2 Meshes represent the render geometry of the model.

Display

• To toggle mesh display go Display > Polygons.

Create

• Use the Model >Mesh >Add Mesh menu item.

Edit

• Meshes are accessible via the outliner, and are found under the Mesh List item.
• Select a mesh item to edit in the Property Editor.

Data Structures

The vmdl hitbox data looks like this

CVmeshList m_meshList = CVmeshList
{
        CVmesh[] m_meshList = 
	[
			
	]
}

m_meshList

A list of CVmesh elements

Note:A vmdl can have multiple meshes. Mesh groups and LOD groups will refer to these meshes by name.

CVmesh

In a vmdl a mesh looks like this:

CVmesh
{
	string m_meshName = "test"
	string m_meshFile = "models/test/fbx/test.fbx"
	string m_materialSearchPath = ""
	bool m_bSkinParentedObjects = false
	bool m_bExpensiveTangents = false
	bool m_bExpensiveVertices = false
	CVmorphInfo* m_pMorphInfo = NULL
}

Attribute	Friendly Name	Description	Type	Default Value
m_meshName	Mesh Name	The name of the mesh	string
m_meshFile	Mesh File	content relative path to the external mesh file	string
m_materialSearchPath	Material Search Path	content relative path to an additional search path for materials	string
m_bSkinParentedObjects	Skin Parented Objects	rigid bind meshes that are parented to other objects	bool	true
m_bExpensiveTangents	Use Expensive Tangents	Use uncompressed tangents when compiling	bool	false
m_bExpensiveVertices	Use Expensive Vertex Welding	Reduce the vertex weld threshold when compiling	bool	false
m_pMorphInfo	Morph Info	Override default morph compiling options	CVmorphInfo*

Note:Expensive tangents and vertex welding may increase the visual look of the model in some cases, but will result in larger compiled meshes.

Note:Morph Info is not needed for the majority of models.
