Member Function Documentation

virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::addChunkOverlaps ( IntPair *  supportGraphEdges,
uint32_t  numSupportGraphEdges 
) [pure virtual]

Adds edges to the support graph. Edges must connect chunks of equal depth. The indices refer to the reordered chunk array, a mapping is provided in cookChunks.

virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::appendActorTransforms ( const PxMat44 *  transforms,
uint32_t  transformCount 
) [pure virtual]

Append transforms to the actor transform list. See getActorTransforms() for a description of this data.

Parameters:
transformsHead of an array of transforms
transformCountSize of transforms
virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::applyTransformation ( const PxMat44 &  transformation,
float  scale 
) [pure virtual]

Apply a transformation to destructible asset.

This is a permanent transformation and it changes the object state. Should only be called immediately before serialization and without further modifying the object later on.

Parameters:
transformationThis matrix is allowed to contain a translation and a rotation
scaleApply a uniform scaling as well
virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::applyTransformation ( const PxMat44 &  transformation) [pure virtual]

Apply an arbitrary affine transformation to destructible asset.

This is a permanent transformation and it changes the object state. Should only be called immediately before serialization and without further modifying the object later on.

Parameters:
transformationThis matrix is allowed to contain translation, rotation, scale and skew
virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::buildCutoutSet ( const uint8_t *  pixelBuffer,
uint32_t  bufferWidth,
uint32_t  bufferHeight,
float  snapThreshold,
bool  periodic 
) [pure virtual]

Builds an internal cutout set.

Parameters:
pixelBufferpointer to be beginning of the pixel buffer
bufferWidththe width of the buffer in pixels
bufferHeightthe height of the buffer in pixels
snapThresholdthe pixel distance at which neighboring cutout vertices and segments may be fudged into alignment.
periodicwhether or not to use periodic boundary conditions when creating cutouts from the map
virtual bool nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::buildExplicitHierarchicalMesh ( ExplicitHierarchicalMesh hMesh,
const ExplicitRenderTriangle *  meshTriangles,
uint32_t  meshTriangleCount,
const ExplicitSubmeshData submeshData,
uint32_t  submeshCount,
uint32_t *  meshPartition = NULL,
uint32_t  meshPartitionCount = 0,
int32_t *  parentIndices = NULL,
uint32_t  parentIndexCount = 0 
) [pure virtual]

Builds a new ExplicitHierarchicalMesh from an array of triangles, externally provided by the user. Note: setRootMesh and setCoreMesh may be implemented as follows: setRootMesh(x) <-> buildExplicitHierarchicalMesh( getExplicitHierarchicalMesh(), x) setCoreMesh(x) <-> buildExplicitHierarchicalMesh( getCoreExplicitHierarchicalMesh(), x)

Parameters:
hMeshnew ExplicitHierarchicalMesh
meshTrianglespointer to array of ExplicitRenderTriangles which make up the mesh
meshTriangleCountthe size of the meshTriangles array
submeshDatapointer to array of ExplicitSubmeshData, describing the submeshes
submeshCountthe size of the submeshData array
meshPartitionif not NULL, an array of size meshPartitionCount, giving the end elements of contiguous subsets of meshTriangles. If meshPartition is NULL, one partition is assumed. When there is one partition, these triangles become the level 0 part. When there is more than one partition, these triangles become level 1 parts, while the union of the parts will be the level 0 part.
meshPartitionCountif meshPartition is not NULL, this is the size of the meshPartition array.
parentIndicesif not NULL, the parent indices for each chunk (corresponding to a partition in the mesh partition).
parentIndexCountthe size of the parentIndices array. This does not need to match meshPartitionCount. If a mesh partition has an index beyond the end of parentIndices, then the parentIndex is considered to be 0. Therefore, if parentIndexCount = 0, all parents are 0 and so all chunks created will be depth 1. This will cause a depth 0 chunk to be created that is the aggregate of the depth 1 chunks. If parentIndexCount > 0, then the depth-0 chunk must have a parentIndex of -1. To reproduce the effect of the old parameter 'firstPartitionIsDepthZero' = true, set parentIndices to the address of a int32_t containing the value -1, and set parentIndexCount = 1. To reproduce the effect of the old parameter 'firstPartitionIsDepthZero' = false, set parentIndexCount = 0. Note: if parent indices are given, the first one must be -1, and *only* that index may be negative. That is, there may be only one depth-0 mesh and it must be the first mesh.
virtual uint32_t nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::buildSliceMesh ( const ExplicitRenderTriangle *&  mesh,
const FractureTools::NoiseParameters noiseParameters,
const PxPlane &  slicePlane,
uint32_t  randomSeed 
) [pure virtual]

Builds a mesh used for slice fracturing, given the noise parameters and random seed. This function is mostly intended for visualization - to give the user a "typical" slice surface used for fracturing.

Returns:
Returns the head of an array of ExplicitRenderTriangles, of length given by the return value.
virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::cacheChunkOverlapsUpToDepth ( int32_t  depth = -1) [pure virtual]

Ensures that the asset has chunk overlap information cached up to the given depth. If depth < 0 (as it is by default), the depth will be taken to be the supportDepth given in the asset's destructibleParameters. It is ok to pass in a depth greater than any chunk depth in the asset.

virtual bool nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::calculateCutoutUVMapping ( PxMat33 &  mapping,
const nvidia::ExplicitRenderTriangle &  triangle 
) [pure virtual]

Calculate the mapping between a cutout fracture map and a given triangle. The result is a 3 by 3 matrix M composed by an affine transformation and a rotation, we can get the 3-D projection for a texture coordinate pair (u,v) with such a formula: (x,y,z) = M*PxVec3(u,v,1)

Parameters:
mappingresulted mapping, composed by an affine transformation and a rotation
triangletriangle
virtual bool nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::calculateCutoutUVMapping ( PxMat33 &  mapping,
const PxVec3 &  targetDirection 
) [pure virtual]

Uses the passed-in target direction to find the best triangle in the root mesh with normal near the given targetDirection. If triangles exist with normals within one degree of the given target direction, then one with the greatest area of such triangles is used. Otherwise, the triangle with normal closest to the given target direction is used. The resulting triangle is used to calculate a UV mapping as in the function calculateCutoutUVMapping (above).

The assumption is that there exists a single mapping for all triangles on a specified face, for this feature to be useful.

Parameters:
mappingresulted mapping, composed by an affine transformation and a rotation
targetDirection,:the target face's normal
virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::clearActorTransforms ( ) [pure virtual]

Clear the actor transform array. See getActorTransforms() for a description of this data.

virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::clearChunkOverlaps ( int32_t  depth = -1,
bool  keepCachedFlag = false 
) [pure virtual]

Clears the chunk overlap cache.

Parameters:
depthDepth to be cleared. -1 for all depths.
keepCachedFlagIf the flag is set, the depth is considered to be cached even if the overlaps list is empty.
virtual void nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::cookChunks ( const DestructibleAssetCookingDesc cookingDesc,
bool  cacheOverlaps = true,
uint32_t *  chunkIndexMapUser2Apex = NULL,
uint32_t *  chunkIndexMapApex2User = NULL,
uint32_t  chunkIndexMapCount = 0 
) [pure virtual]

Once the internal ExplicitHierarchicalMesh is built using the fracture tools functions and all emitter names and parameters set, this functions builds the destructible asset.

See ExplicitHierarchicalMesh for details, it is the object used by the fracturing tool set for mesh fracturing operations and is used to generate the embedded RenderMesh as well as collision and hierarchy data for the destructible asset.

virtual float nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::getFractureImpulseScale ( ) const [pure virtual]

The scale factor used to apply an impulse force along the normal of chunk when fractured. This is used in order to "push" the pieces out as they fracture.

virtual float nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::getImpactVelocityThreshold ( ) const [pure virtual]

Large impact force may be reported if rigid bodies are spawned inside one another. In this case the realative velocity of the two objects will be low. This variable allows the user to set a minimum velocity threshold for impacts to ensure that the objects are moving at a min velocity in order for the impact force to be considered.

Set the parameters used in BSP building operations.

Parameters:
logAreaSigmaThresholdAt each step in the tree building process, the surface with maximum triangle area is compared to the other surface triangle areas. If the maximum area surface is far from the "typical" set of surface areas, then that surface is chosen as the next splitting plane. Otherwise, a random test set is chosen and a winner determined based upon the weightings below. The value logAreaSigmaThreshold determines how "atypical" the maximum area surface must be to be chosen in this manner. Default value = 2.0.
testSetSizeLarger values of testSetSize may find better BSP trees, but will take more time to create. testSetSize = 0 is treated as infinity (all surfaces will be tested for each branch). Default value = 10.
splitWeightHow much to weigh the relative number of triangle splits when searching for a BSP surface. Default value = 0.5.
imbalanceWeightHow much to weigh the relative triangle imbalance when searching for a BSP surface. Default value = 0.0.

virtual bool nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::setRootMesh ( const ExplicitRenderTriangle *  meshTriangles,
uint32_t  meshTriangleCount,
const ExplicitSubmeshData submeshData,
uint32_t  submeshCount,
uint32_t *  meshPartition = NULL,
uint32_t  meshPartitionCount = 0,
int32_t *  parentIndices = NULL,
uint32_t  parentIndexCount = 0 
) [pure virtual]

Builds a new ExplicitHierarchicalMesh from an array of triangles, used as the starting point for fracturing. It will contain only one chunk, at depth 0.

Parameters:
meshTrianglespointer to array of ExplicitRenderTriangles which make up the mesh
meshTriangleCountthe size of the meshTriangles array
submeshDatapointer to array of ExplicitSubmeshData, describing the submeshes
submeshCountthe size of the submeshData array
meshPartitionif not NULL, an array of size meshPartitionCount, giving the end elements of contiguous subsets of meshTriangles. If meshPartition is NULL, one partition is assumed. When there is one partition, these triangles become the level 0 part. When there is more than one partition, the behavior is determined by firstPartitionIsDepthZero (see below).
meshPartitionCountif meshPartition is not NULL, this is the size of the meshPartition array.
parentIndicesif not NULL, the parent indices for each chunk (corresponding to a partition in the mesh partition).
parentIndexCountthe size of the parentIndices array. This does not need to match meshPartitionCount. If a mesh partition has an index beyond the end of parentIndices, then the parentIndex is considered to be 0. Therefore, if parentIndexCount = 0, all parents are 0 and so all chunks created will be depth 1. This will cause a depth 0 chunk to be created that is the aggregate of the depth 1 chunks. If parentIndexCount > 0, then the depth-0 chunk must have a parentIndex of -1. To reproduce the effect of the old parameter 'firstPartitionIsDepthZero' = true, set parentIndices to the address of a int32_t containing the value -1, and set parentIndexCount = 1. To reproduce the effect of the old parameter 'firstPartitionIsDepthZero' = false, set parentIndexCount = 0. Note: if parent indices are given, the first one must be -1, and *only* that index may be negative. That is, there may be only one depth-0 mesh and it must be the first mesh.
virtual bool nvidia::apex::DestructibleAssetAuthoring::setScatterMeshAssets ( RenderMeshAsset **  scatterMeshAssetArray,
uint32_t  scatterMeshAssetArraySize 
) [pure virtual]

Set the RenderMeshAssets used for scatter mesh rendering associated with this asset. These assets will be rendered using instanced rendering. The array cannot contain NULL elements, if an array size greater than zero is specified.

Returns:
Returns true if successful.

If not NULL, this (of length cellColorCount) is used to color the cell graphics. The number cellColorCount need not match siteCount. If cellColorCount is less than siteCount, the cell colors will cycle. That is, site N gets cellColor[NcellColorCount].
cellColorCountthe number of cell colors (the length of cellColors array)
boundsdefines an axis-aligned bounding box which clips the visualization, since some cells extend to infinity
cellIndexif this is a valid index (cellIndex < siteCount), then only the cell corresponding to sites[cellIndex] will be drawn. Otherwise, all cells will be drawn.
