Mesh

Renderable node that draws a [Geometry](/reference/geometries/geometry) with a [Material](/reference/materials/material).

Mesh is a scene node that owns a geometry and a material and exposes them through the Renderable interface so the renderer can process and draw it.

An optional wireframe geometry can be provided for debug rendering.

auto geometry = vglx::BoxGeometry::Create();
auto material = vglx::UnlitMaterial::Create(0x00FFAA);
auto mesh = vglx::Mesh::Create(geometry, material);
my_scene->Add(mesh);

Mesh()

vglx::Mesh::Mesh(std::shared_ptr< Geometry > geometry, std::shared_ptr< Material > material)

Parameter	Description
geometry	Shared pointer to a geometry instance.
material	Shared pointer to a material instance.

Constructs a mesh instance with the given geometry and material.

Mesh::Create() auto

static auto vglx::Mesh::Create(std::shared_ptr< Geometry > geometry, std::shared_ptr< Material > material)

Parameter	Description
geometry	Shared pointer to a geometry instance.
material	Shared pointer to a material instance.

Creates a shared pointer to a Mesh object.

Functions
