Member Function Documentation

convertMeshToTangents()

virtual void jpp::scene::ISkinnedMesh::convertMeshToTangents ( )

pure virtual

converts the vertex type of all meshbuffers to tangents.

E.g. used for bump mapping.

getJointCount()

virtual u32 jpp::scene::ISkinnedMesh::getJointCount ( ) const

pure virtual

Gets joint count.

Returns

Amount of joints in the skeletal animated mesh.

getJointName()

virtual const c8 * jpp::scene::ISkinnedMesh::getJointName ( u32  number ) const

pure virtual

Gets the name of a joint.

Parameters

number

Zero based index of joint. The last joint has the number getJointCount()-1;

Returns

Name of joint and null if an error happened.

getJointNumber()

virtual s32 jpp::scene::ISkinnedMesh::getJointNumber ( const c8 *  name ) const

pure virtual

Gets a joint number from its name.

Parameters

name	Name of the joint.

Returns

Number of the joint or -1 if not found.

updateNormalsWhenAnimating()

virtual void jpp::scene::ISkinnedMesh::updateNormalsWhenAnimating ( bool  on )

pure virtual

Update Normals when Animating.

Parameters

on	If false don't animate, which is faster. Else update normals, which allows for proper lighting of animated meshes.

useAnimationFrom()

virtual bool jpp::scene::ISkinnedMesh::useAnimationFrom ( const ISkinnedMesh *  mesh )

pure virtual

Use animation from another mesh.

The animation is linked (not copied) based on joint names so make sure they are unique.

Returns

True if all joints in this mesh were matched up (empty names will not be matched, and it's case sensitive). Unmatched joints will not be animated.
