Sculpting and Brushes
This section presents the BrushOperation class, used for sculpting and brushing in the Mudbox SDK.
A sculpting brush is implemented by the BrushOperation class which derives directly from Node. A BrushOperation holds the properties of the brush tools like size, strength, direction, falloff, etc.
Falloffs (BrushOperation::FalloffData()) are arrays containing the points of a NURBS curves with degree 3. The falloff curve control points are set when the brush is created. Brushes can have stamps that modify the affected area.
The Mesh class has a number of functions for enumerating the faces starting from a given face using an enumerator object which decides whether to continue or halt enumeration in a given direction. This callback is used by the rest of the sculpt operation. The enumeration always starts from a selected (picked) point.
Brush and Enumerator Classes
- BrushOperation - The BrushOperation class is the base class for brush functionality.
- VertexEnumerator - A base class for functions that must be applied across mesh vertices.
- AdjacentVertexEnumerator - A base class for functions that must be applied to all adjacent vertixes.
- FaceEnumerator - A base class for functions that must be applied across mesh faces.
