Creating the mesh for a cube

Applying Textures and Materials to Meshes >

This section shows you how to create a cube as a mesh object. Class KFbxMesh is the FBX implementation of a mesh.

A mesh is a type of geometric model of a three-dimensional object. In a mesh, the basic shape is made up of points, usually called vertices or control points. The vertices are connected by edges to form polygons, which are often called faces.

The mesh that we are creating is a cube. Therefore:

The mesh has six faces.
Each face is a square polygon.
Each polygon has four equal edges.
Each polygon has four vertices.
