CylinderGeometry

Generates a cylinder geometry assignable to any mesh.

[CylinderGeometry](/reference/geometries/cylinder_geometry) creates a 3D cylinder composed of triangle primitives, with configurable top and bottom radii, height, and segment subdivisions. It can also be open-ended, excluding the caps.

auto geometry = vglx::CylinderGeometry::Create({
    .radius_top = 0.8f,
    .radius_bottom = 1.0f,
    .height = 2.5f,
    .radial_segments = 32,
    .height_segments = 3,
    .open_ended = false
});

auto mesh = vglx::Mesh::Create(geometry, UnlitMaterial::Create(0x049EF4));
my_scene->Add(mesh);
