Detailed Description

This is a container class of our sub meshes.

This class is a container for all our sub mesh. We separate each mesh by matid and vertex buffer size

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DllExport HWTupleMeshContainer ( )

Constructor.

DllExport ~HWTupleMeshContainer ( )

Destructor.

DllExport void FreeMeshes ( )

This frees all the sub meshes and sets the sub mesh count to 0.

DllExport unsigned int Count ( )

Returns the number of sub meshes.

DllExport GFX_MESH::HWTupleMesh* Get ( unsigned int id )

Returns a specific sub mesh.

DllExport void Append ( GFX_MESH::HWTupleMesh * hwMesh )

Appends a sub mesh to the list.

The container will manage the life of the pointer

Parameters:

hwMesh is the mesh to append to the end of the list

Draws all meshes that match the attribute.

Parameters:

gw	the graphics window to draw to
attribute	the mat id to check

Implements IHWDrawMesh.

DllExport void UpdateVertexBuffer	(	Point3 *	vertexList,
		Point3 *	gfxNormalList,
		Point3 *	faceNormalList,
		BitArray &	changedVerts,
		int	count,
		unsigned int *	vertMapList,
		int *	normalsMapList
	)		`[virtual]`

Lets you update the vertex buffers.

Allows you to change the position and normals of the mesh without recreating the hw mesh

Parameters:

vertexList	This is a pointer of all the vertices on the mesh
gfxNormalList	This is a pointer of all the gfx normals on the mesh
faceNormalList	This is a pointer of all the face normals on the mesh
changedVerts	This is a bitarray of all the changed verts
count	This is number of vertices in vertex List
vertMapList	This is mapping that lets the HW vertex look up which vertex it belongs to
normalsMapList	This is mapping that lets the HW vertex look up which normal it belongs to. If this value is negative it is made positive and then face normallist is used to lookup the normal This occurs when there is no smoothing group.

Implements IHWDrawMesh.

DllExport void Release ( ) [virtual]

Releases this class pointer.

Implements IHWDrawMesh.
