Detailed Description

Class IContext does all the actual skin weight computations.

NOTE this uses OGL so you have to set up an OGL context first and also all the data structures are in OGL format

Examples of how to use this interface can be found in the bonesdef.vprog in maxsdk/samples/modifiers/bonesdef

Member Function Documentation

create()

static IContext* create ( )

static

This creates an instance of a context

dispose()

static void dispose ( IContext *  )

static

This disposes an instance of a context

makeCurrent()

virtual void makeCurrent ( )

pure virtual

This makes the current OGL context active

bindSparseGV()

virtual const ISparseVertexWeights* bindSparseGV ( IMesh *  mesh, ITransformHierarchy *  hierarchy, IProgress *  progress = 0, float  falloff = 0.0f, int  maxInfluences = -1, int  maxResolution = 256, bool  useWindingNumbers = true  )

pure virtual

This creates skin weights based on a voxel data data structure.

Parameters

mesh	this is the mesh that is being skinned
hierarchy	this the skeleton of the mesh being skinned
progress	the update bar to let the system know how far along the solve is and if it should cancel
falloff	how smooth the blend weights are 0 is the most smooth 1 is the least smooth
maxInfluences	the maximum number of weights per vertex that can be applied
maxResolution	the maximum density of the voxel data structure, the higher the more accurate but slower
useWindingNumbers	can produce better weight results when their are arbitrary voxel results

bindHeatmap()

virtual const ISparseVertexWeights* bindHeatmap ( IMesh *  mesh, ITransformHierarchy *  hierarchy, IProgress *  progress, float  falloff = 0.0f, int  maxInfluences = -1  )

pure virtual

This creates skin weights based on a heat map algorithm, restrictions are that the mesh be manifold, only the first mesh element will have its weight computed.

Usually the voxel algorithm produces better results.

Parameters

mesh	this is the mesh that is being skinned
hierarchy	this the skeleton of the mesh being skinned
progress	the update bar to let the system know how far along the solve is and if it should cancel
falloff	how smooth the blend weights are 0 is the most smooth 1 is the least smooth
maxInfluences	the maximum number of weights per vertex that can be applied
