MNMapPreserveData Class Reference

#include <mnmesh.h>

Class Description

This class is used to "preserve" mapping coordinates while moving vertices.

The "Preserve" name is actually a little confusing; what this class helps us do is modify map vertices such that the overall map on a surface looks about the same, even though the regular vertices have moved. For instance, if you start with a Plane object, and move the middle vertex to the right, the map is typically distorted even though all the original map vertices are unaffected. This class will help by adjusting the middle map vertex so that the overall regular texture pattern is preserved.

Example: See example usage in the Editable Poly object, in maxsdk/samples/mesh/EditablePoly

Member Function Documentation

DllExport void Clear

(

)

Clears out all allocated data, and resets to empty.

DllExport void Initialize	(	MNMesh &	mm,
		const MapBitArray &	mapsToDo
	)

Creates caches of data based on the mesh given and the set of maps to be preserved.

Sets the "initial state" which the maps should try to adhere to.

Parameters

mm	The mesh whose maps should be preserved
mapsToDo	A MapBitArray indicating which map channels should be preserved. See class MapBitArray for more details.

DllExport void Apply	(	MNMesh &	mm,
		Point3 *	pDelta,
		int	numDeltas
	)

Given a mesh and a set of offsets for vertices, manipulate map channels to preserve the initial UV mapping.

Parameters

mm	The mesh being affected. Note that this algorithm uses the face information in the mesh, and affects the maps in the mesh, but it doesn't use the vertex information at all. (All relevant vertex information was digested in Initialize.) So this method may be called before or after applying the offsets given in pDelta.
pDelta	The set of offsets for the vertices.
numDeltas	The length of the pDelta array
