Detailed Description

MeshVertexAttribute describes how Kanzi stores mesh vertex and instance data in memory.

Since MeshVertexAttribute is derived from VertexAttribute, it has a name, a semantic, and a semantic index. Each mesh attribute also has:

• Data type
• Dimension
• Offset
• Stride
• Divisor

Together these specify how vertex data is formatted in memory.

Instance attributes are similar to vertex attributes, but have a divisor set to a non-zero value, and are shared by all vertices of an instance. The divisor value indicates how many instances share the same attribute values. Value 1 means that every instance gets a new value. Value 2 means that two instances share the values and every other instance gets new values, and so on.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MeshVertexAttribute() [1/2]

kanzi::MeshVertexAttribute::MeshVertexAttribute ( )

inlineexplicit

Constructor.

MeshVertexAttribute() [2/2]

kanzi::MeshVertexAttribute::MeshVertexAttribute ( string_view name, Semantic semantic, unsigned int semanticIndex, GraphicsDataType dataType, unsigned int dimension, unsigned int offset )

inlineexplicit

Constructor.

Note

Stride is not valid after constructor, and should be set afterwards.

Parameters

name	Name of vertex attribute.
semantic	Semantic of vertex attribute.
semanticIndex	Semantic index of vertex attribute.
dataType	Datatype of vertex attribute.
dimension	Dimension of vertex attribute.
offset	Offset of vertex attribute.
