Inheritance diagram for mudbox::SurfaceSmoother:

Detailed Description

This is an interface for a SurfaceSmoother object, which is responsible to provide information about the limit surface of a mesh.

Mudbox uses this object to obtain information about the limit surface without actually calculating additional subdivision levels for the meshes. This limit surface is used during map extraction. If you need to control the algorithm by which this limit surface is calculated, you can override this class in a plug-in, and replace Mudbox's version, which is in the plugin called "CCSurfaceSmoother". To create your own:

1. Write a plug-in that defines your own class derived from SurfaceSmoother.

2. Delete the existing CCSurfaceSmoother plugin, and copy yours into the plug-in folder.

On OSX, this plugin is found in the Mudbox 2009 package, under Contents>MacOS>plugins. On the PC, it is found in the work dir folder, under "plugins"

		double	fUCoordinate,
		double	fVCoordinate
	)	const `[virtual]`

This function must return the surface nomal of a point on the surface.

Parameters:

iFaceIndex	[in] Index of the face which contains the surface point
fUCoordinate	[in] Location in U direction of the point inside the face (must be within 0-1)
fVCoordinate	[in] Location in V direction of the point inside the face (must be within 0-1)

virtual Vector mudbox::SurfaceSmoother::SmoothTextureCoordinate	(	unsigned int	iFaceIndex,
		double	fUCoordinate,
		double	fVCoordinate
	)	const `[virtual]`

This function must return the smoothed texture coordinate on the surface.

Parameters:

iFaceIndex	[in] Index of the face which contains the surface point
fUCoordinate	[in] Location in U direction of the point inside the face (must be within 0-1)
fVCoordinate	[in] Location in V direction of the point inside the face (must be within 0-1)
