Detailed Description

In 3ds Max 3.0 and later the user may work with more than 2 mapping channels.

When the mapping channel is set to a value greater than 1 (by using a UVWMap Modifier for example) then an instance of this class is allocated for each channel up to the value specified. It maintains the mapping information for a single channel. An array of instances of this class is carried by the Mesh class in the public data member: MeshMap *maps; All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MeshMap ( ) [inline]

Constructor.

The flags are cleared, the vertex and face numbers are set to 0, and the tv and tf pointers are set to NULL.

{ flags=0x0; tv=NULL; tf=NULL; vnum = fnum = 0; }

DllExport ~MeshMap ( )

Destructor.

If the tv and tf arrays are allocated they are deleted.

Member Function Documentation

int getNumVerts ( ) [inline]

vn	The new number of UVVerts to allocate.
keep	If TRUE, any previously allocated UVVerts are maintained (up to the maximum set by vn). If FALSE they are discarded. Defaults to False.

DllExport void setNumFaces	(	int	fn,
		BOOL	keep = `FALSE`,
		int	oldCt = `0`
	)

fn	The new number of TVFaces to allocate.
keep	If TRUE any previously allocated TVFaces are maintained (up to the maximum set by fn). If FALSE they are discarded. Defaults to FALSE.

DllExport void DeleteVertSet	(	BitArray	set,
		BitArray *	delFace = `NULL`
	)

set	The array of bits where mapping vertices you want to delete are set.
delFace	This is an optional parameter. If non-NULL, it's filled with a record of which faces, if any, were using the specified map verts and should therefore be deleted or considered invalid. (Note: in normal usage, it's preferable to remove any compromised faces _before_ deleting vertices, so this parameter would rarely be used). Defaults to NULL

DllExport void DeleteFaceSet	(	BitArray	set,
		BitArray *	isoVert = `NULL`
	)

set	This is a list of mapping faces to delete.
isoVert	If non-NULL, this BitArray is filled with a list of map vertices that were used by the deleted faces but not by any remaining faces. (This is a list of "newly isolated" map vertices). Defaults to NULL.
