Emulate normals by polygon vertex mode for a mesh.

pMesh

Pointer to the mesh object.

Returns:

true on success, false if the number of normals in the mesh and in its associated shapes don't match the number of polygon vertices.

Remarks:

For applications that only supports normals by control points, this function duplicates control points to equal the number of polygon vertices. Links and shapes are also converted. As preconditions:

1. polygons must have been created
2. the number of normals in the mesh and in its associated shapes must match the number of polygon vertices.

bool ComputeEdgeSmoothingFromNormals

(

KFbxMesh *

pMesh

)

const

Create edge smoothing information from polygon-vertex mapped normals.

Existing smoothing information is removed and edge data is created if none exists on the mesh.

Parameters:

pMesh

The mesh used to generate edge smoothing.

Returns:

true on success, false otherwise.

Remarks:

The edge smoothing data is placed on Layer 0 of the mesh. Normals do not need to be on Layer 0, since the first layer with per polygon vertex normals is used.

bool ComputePolygonSmoothingFromEdgeSmoothing	(	KFbxMesh *	pMesh,
		int	pIndex = 0
	)			const

Convert edge smoothing to polygon smoothing group.

Existing smoothing information is replaced.

Parameters:

	pMesh	The mesh that contains the smoothing to be converted.
	pIndex	The index of the layer smoothing to be converted.

Returns:

true on success, false otherwise.

Remarks:

The smoothing group is bitwise. The each bit of the integer represents one smoothing group. Therefore, there is 32 smoothing groups maximum.

bool ComputeEdgeSmoothingFromPolygonSmoothing	(	KFbxMesh *	pMesh,
		int	pIndex = 0
	)			const

Convert polygon smoothing group to edge smoothing.

Existing smoothing information is replaced.

Parameters:

	pMesh	The mesh that contains the smoothing to be converted.
	pIndex	The index of the layer smoothing to be converted

Returns:

true on success, false otherwise.
