Member Function Documentation

virtual void nvidia::apex::ClothingAsset::getBoneMapping ( uint32_t *  internal2externalMap) const [pure virtual]

returns the mapping from internal to external indices for a given asset.

Use this map to transform all the boneIndices returned from the ClothingPhysicalMesh into the order you specified initially

virtual void nvidia::apex::ClothingAsset::getMeshSkinningMap ( uint32_t  lod,
ClothingMeshSkinningMap map 
) [pure virtual]

Provides the mesh to mesh skinning map.

This map stores for each graphics mesh vertex the corresponding triangle indices of the physics mesh and barycentric coordinates to skin the vertex position, normal and tangent.

Note:
This call has the side effect of merging the immediate map into the mesh skinning map. This might affect skinning performance done by APEX.
Parameters:
[in]lodlod for which the map is requested
[out]mapSkinning map
virtual uint32_t nvidia::apex::ClothingAsset::getMeshSkinningMapSize ( uint32_t  lod) [pure virtual]

Returns the size of the mesh skinning map.

Note:
This call has the side effect of merging the immediate map into the mesh skinning map. This might affect skinning performance done by APEX.
Returns:
Number of entries in the map
virtual const RenderMeshAsset* nvidia::apex::ClothingAsset::getRenderMeshAsset ( uint32_t  lodLevel) const [pure virtual]

Gets the RenderMeshAsset associated with this asset.

Parameters:
[in]lodLevelThe LoD level of the render mesh asset
Returns:
NULL if lodLevel is not valid
See also:
ClothingAsset::getNumGraphicalLodLevels()
virtual uint32_t nvidia::apex::ClothingAsset::prepareMorphTargetMapping ( const PxVec3 *  originalPositions,
uint32_t  numPositions,
float  epsilon 
) [pure virtual]

Prepares the asset for use with morph target.

When setting morph target displacements, the asset needs to create a mapping of external to internal vertex order. These positions will be matched with the internal mesh positions with a smallest distance criterion.

Parameters:
[in]originalPositionsArray of positions before the morphing is applied.
[in]numPositionsLength of the Array
[in]epsilonDifference two vertices can have before being reported
Returns:
Number of vertices for which the distance to the next originalPosition was larger than epsilon
virtual bool nvidia::apex::ClothingAsset::remapBoneIndex ( const char *  name,
uint32_t  newIndex 
) [pure virtual]

remaps bone with given name to a new index for updateState calls

This is needed when the order of bones differs from authoring tool to runtime

Note:
must be called after asset is deserialized. Changing this any later, especially after the first ClothingActor::updateState call will lead to ill-defined behavior.
