Detailed Description

Interface for an animated mesh.

There are already simple implementations of this interface available so you don't have to implement this interface on your own if you need to: You might want to use jpp::scene::SAnimatedMesh, jpp::scene::SMesh, jpp::scene::SMeshBuffer etc.

Member Function Documentation

getAnimationSpeed()

virtual f32 jpp::scene::IAnimatedMesh::getAnimationSpeed ( ) const

pure virtual

Gets the animation speed of the animated mesh.

Returns

The number of frames per second to play the animation with by default. If the amount is 0, it is a static, non animated mesh.

Implemented in jpp::scene::SAnimatedMesh.

getFrameCount()

virtual u32 jpp::scene::IAnimatedMesh::getFrameCount ( ) const

pure virtual

Gets the frame count of the animated mesh.

Note that the play-time is usually getFrameCount()-1 as it stops as soon as the last frame-key is reached.

Returns

The amount of frames. If the amount is 1, it is a static, non animated mesh.

Implemented in jpp::scene::SAnimatedMesh.

getMesh()

virtual IMesh * jpp::scene::IAnimatedMesh::getMesh ( s32  frame, s32  detailLevel = 255, s32  startFrameLoop = -1, s32  endFrameLoop = -1  )

pure virtual

Returns the IMesh interface for a frame.

Parameters

frame	Frame number as zero based index. The maximum frame number is getFrameCount() - 1;
detailLevel	Level of detail. 0 is the lowest, 255 the highest level of detail. Most meshes will ignore the detail level.
startFrameLoop	Because some animated meshes (.MD2) are blended between 2 static frames, and maybe animated in a loop, the startFrameLoop and the endFrameLoop have to be defined, to prevent the animation to be blended between frames which are outside of this loop. If startFrameLoop and endFrameLoop are both -1, they are ignored.
endFrameLoop	see startFrameLoop.

Returns

Returns the animated mesh based on a detail level.

Implemented in jpp::scene::SAnimatedMesh.

getMeshType()

virtual E_ANIMATED_MESH_TYPE jpp::scene::IAnimatedMesh::getMeshType ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the type of the animated mesh.

In most cases it is not necessary to use this method. This is useful for making a safe downcast. For example, if getMeshType() returns EAMT_MD2 it's safe to cast the IAnimatedMesh to IAnimatedMeshMD2.

Returns

Type of the mesh.

Reimplemented from jpp::scene::IMesh.

Reimplemented in jpp::scene::SAnimatedMesh.

setAnimationSpeed()

virtual void jpp::scene::IAnimatedMesh::setAnimationSpeed ( f32  fps )

pure virtual

Sets the animation speed of the animated mesh.

Parameters

fps	Number of frames per second to play the animation with by default. If the amount is 0, it is not animated. The actual speed is set in the scene node the mesh is instantiated in.

Implemented in jpp::scene::SAnimatedMesh.
