Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MnRigid ( )

Default constructor.

The parent class will set the instance to contain nothing.

Member Function Documentation

MStatus setTopology ( const int  numFaces,
int *  numVertsPerFace,
int *  faces,
const int  numEdges,
int *  edges 
)

sets the topology of the underlying N Object.

Before calling other methods, this must be the first method you call once the rigid object is created.

Parameters
[in]numFacesnumber of faces
[in]numVertsPerFacean array of size numFaces, where each element describes the number of verts on that face
[in]facesan array containing the actual face description. Each element is a vertex index.
[in]numEdgesnumber of edges
[in]edgesan array containing the edge description. Each element is a vertex index.
Returns
MStatus createNRigid ( )

Creates the underlying Maya TnRigid and sets this class to wrap it.

Returns
MStatus setPositions ( const MFloatPointArray positions,
bool  startFrame = true 
)

Sets the positions of the vertices of the underlying nRigid object.

Parameters
[in]positionsthe array containing the position information
[in]startFramewhether this information represents the state of the object at the start frame.
Returns
MStatus setVelocities ( const MFloatPointArray velocities)

Sets the velocities of the vertices of the underlying nRigid object.

Parameters
[in]velocitiesthe array containing the velocity information
Returns
MStatus setThickness ( float  radius)

sets a radius on each point of the mesh for collision purposes.

The bigger the radius/thickness, the more easily things collide.

Parameters
[in]radiusthe radius to set
Returns
MStatus setThickness ( float *  radius)

sets a radius (thickness) on a per point basis for the mesh for collision purposes.

The bigger the radius, the more easily things collide.

Parameters
[in]radiusthe radius to set
Returns
MStatus setBounce ( float  bounce)

sets the bounce for every point in this mesh

Parameters
[in]bouncevalue of bounce to set
Returns
MStatus setBounce ( float *  bounce)

sets the bounce on a per point basis in this mesh

Parameters
[in]bouncevalue of bounce to set
Returns
MStatus setFriction ( float  friction)

sets the friction for every point in this mesh

Parameters
[in]frictionthe friction to set
Returns
MStatus setFriction ( float *  friction)

sets the friction on a per point basis for this mesh

Parameters
[in]frictionthe friction to set
Returns
MStatus setCollisionFlags ( const bool  vertToVert,
const bool  edgeToEdge = false,
const bool  faceToFace = false 
)

Sets how (or if) this object will collide with other objects.

Parameters
[in]vertToVertwhether to calculate vertex - vertex collisions
[in]edgeToEdgewhether to calculate edge - edge collisions
[in]faceToFacewhether to calculate face - face collisions
Returns
MStatus getNumVertices ( unsigned int &  numVerts) const
