Detailed Description

Handles the management of mesh resources.

Remarks
This class deals with the runtime management of mesh data; like other resource managers it handles the creation of resources (in this case mesh data), working within a fixed memory budget.
Ogre loads model files from it's own proprietary format called .mesh. This is because having a single file format is better for runtime performance, and we also have control over pre-processed data (such as collision boxes, LOD reductions etc).

Member Function Documentation

◆ _initialise()

void Ogre::MeshManager::_initialise ( void  )

Initialises the manager, only to be called by OGRE internally.

◆ getByName()

MeshPtr Ogre::MeshManager::getByName ( const String name,
const String groupName = RGN_DEFAULT 
)

Retrieves a pointer to a resource by name, or null if the resource does not exist.

◆ create()

MeshPtr Ogre::MeshManager::create ( const String name,
const String group,

const NameValuePairList createParams = 0 
)

Create a new mesh.

Parameters
nameThe unique name of the Resource
groupThe name of the resource group to attach this new resource to
isManualIs this resource manually loaded? If so, you should really populate the loader parameter in order that the load process can call the loader back when loading is required.
loaderPointer to a ManualLoader implementation which will be called when the Resource wishes to load (should be supplied if you set isManual to true). You can in fact leave this parameter null if you wish, but the Resource will never be able to reload if anything ever causes it to unload. Therefore provision of a proper ManualLoader instance is strongly recommended.
createParamsIf any parameters are required to create an instance, they should be supplied here as name / value pairs

◆ createOrRetrieve() [1/2]

bool  vertexBufferShadowed = false,
bool  indexBufferShadowed = false 
)

Create a new mesh, or retrieve an existing one with the same name if it already exists.

Parameters
nameThe unique name of the Resource
groupThe name of the resource group to attach this new resource to
isManualIs this resource manually loaded? If so, you should really populate the loader parameter in order that the load process can call the loader back when loading is required.
loaderPointer to a ManualLoader implementation which will be called when the Resource wishes to load (should be supplied if you set isManual to true). You can in fact leave this parameter null if you wish, but the Resource will never be able to reload if anything ever causes it to unload. Therefore provision of a proper ManualLoader instance is strongly recommended.
createParamsIf any parameters are required to create an instance, they should be supplied here as name / value pairs
vertexBufferUsageThe usage flags with which the vertex buffer(s) will be created
indexBufferUsageThe usage flags with which the index buffer(s) created for this mesh will be created with.
vertexBufferShadowedIf true, the vertex buffers will be shadowed by system memory copies for faster read access
indexBufferShadowedIf true, the index buffers will be shadowed by system memory copies for faster read access

◆ prepare()

MeshPtr Ogre::MeshManager::prepare ( const String filename,
const String groupName,

HardwareBuffer::Usage  indexBufferUsage = HardwareBuffer::HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY,
bool  vertexBufferShadowed = false,
bool  indexBufferShadowed = false 
)

Prepares a mesh for loading from a file.

This does the IO in advance of the call to load().

Note
If the model has already been created (prepared or loaded), the existing instance will be returned.
Parameters
filenameThe name of the .mesh file
groupNameThe name of the resource group to assign the mesh to
vertexBufferUsageThe usage flags with which the vertex buffer(s) will be created
indexBufferUsageThe usage flags with which the index buffer(s) created for this mesh will be created with.

HardwareBuffer::Usage  indexBufferUsage = HardwareBuffer::HBU_STATIC_WRITE_ONLY,
bool  vertexBufferShadowed = false,
bool  indexBufferShadowed = false 
)

Loads a mesh from a file, making it immediately available for use.

This does the IO in advance of the call to load().

Note
If the model has already been created (prepared or loaded), the existing instance will be returned.
Parameters
filenameThe name of the .mesh file
groupNameThe name of the resource group to assign the mesh to
vertexBufferUsageThe usage flags with which the vertex buffer(s) will be created
indexBufferUsageThe usage flags with which the index buffer(s) created for this mesh will be created with.
vertexBufferShadowedIf true, the vertex buffers will be shadowed by system memory copies for faster read access
indexBufferShadowedIf true, the index buffers will be shadowed by system memory copies for faster read access

◆ createManual()

MeshPtr Ogre::MeshManager::createManual ( const String name,
const String groupName,
ManualResourceLoader loader = 0 
)

Creates a new Mesh specifically for manual definition rather than loading from an object file.

Note that once you've defined your mesh, you must call Mesh::_setBounds in order to define the bounds of your mesh. In previous versions of OGRE could auto-compute that, but OGRE's support of write-only vertex buffers makes this no longer appropriate.

Parameters
nameThe name to give the new mesh
groupNameThe name of the resource group to assign the mesh to
loaderManualResourceLoader which will be called to load this mesh when the time comes. It is recommended that you populate this field in order that the mesh can be rebuilt should the need arise

Parameters
nameThe name to give the newly created mesh.
groupNameThe name of the resource group to assign the mesh to
controlPointBufferA pointer to a buffer containing the vertex data which defines control points of the curves rather than actual vertices. Note that you are expected to provide not just position information, but potentially normals and texture coordinates too. The format of the buffer is defined in the VertexDeclaration parameter
declarationVertexDeclaration describing the contents of the buffer. Note this declaration must only draw on buffer source 0!
widthSpecifies the width of the patch in control points. Note this parameter must greater than or equal to 3.
heightSpecifies the height of the patch in control points. Note this parameter must greater than or equal to 3.
uMaxSubdivisionLevel,vMaxSubdivisionLevelIf you want to manually set the top level of subdivision, do it here, otherwise let the system decide.

vbUsageVertex buffer usage flags. Recommend the default since vertex buffer should be static.
ibUsageIndex buffer usage flags. Recommend the default since index buffer should be dynamic to change levels but not readable.
vbUseShadowFlag to determine if a shadow buffer is generated for the vertex buffer. See HardwareBuffer for full details.
ibUseShadowFlag to determine if a shadow buffer is generated for the index buffer. See HardwareBuffer for full details.

◆ setPrepareAllMeshesForShadowVolumes()

void Ogre::MeshManager::setPrepareAllMeshesForShadowVolumes ( bool  enable)

Tells the mesh manager that all future meshes should prepare themselves for shadow volumes on loading.

◆ getPrepareAllMeshesForShadowVolumes()

bool Ogre::MeshManager::getPrepareAllMeshesForShadowVolumes ( void  )

Retrieves whether all Meshes should prepare themselves for shadow volumes.

◆ getSingleton()

static MeshManager& Ogre::MeshManager::getSingleton ( void  )
static

Get the singleton instance.

◆ getSingletonPtr()

static MeshManager* Ogre::MeshManager::getSingletonPtr ( void  )
static

Get the singleton instance.

◆ getBlendWeightsBaseElementType()

VertexElementType Ogre::MeshManager::getBlendWeightsBaseElementType ( ) const

Gets the base element type used for blend weights in vertex buffers.

Remarks
See the remarks below for SetBlendWeightsBaseElementType().

◆ setBlendWeightsBaseElementType()

void Ogre::MeshManager::setBlendWeightsBaseElementType ( VertexElementType  vet)

sets the base element type used for blend weights in vertex buffers.

Remarks
This takes effect when meshes are loaded. Default is VET_FLOAT1. Valid values are: VET_UBYTE4_NORM: 8-bit blend weights. Lowest memory cost but may have precision issues. Requires SM2.0+ vertex shader. No software skinning. VET_USHORT2_NORM: 16-bit blend weights. Requires SM2.0+ vertex shader. No software skinning. VET_FLOAT1: 32-bit blend weights. Highest memory cost. Supports hardware and software skinning.

◆ getBoundsPaddingFactor()

Real Ogre::MeshManager::getBoundsPaddingFactor ( void  )

Gets the factor by which the bounding box of an entity is padded.

Default is 0.01

◆ setBoundsPaddingFactor()

void Ogre::MeshManager::setBoundsPaddingFactor ( Real  paddingFactor)

Sets the factor by which the bounding box of an entity is padded.

◆ setListener()

void Ogre::MeshManager::setListener ( MeshSerializerListener listener)

Sets the listener used to control mesh loading through the serializer.

◆ getListener()

MeshSerializerListener* Ogre::MeshManager::getListener ( )

Gets the listener used to control mesh loading through the serializer.

◆ createOrRetrieve() [2/2]

ResourceCreateOrRetrieveResult Ogre::ResourceManager::createOrRetrieve

Create a new resource, or retrieve an existing one with the same name if it already exists.

Remarks
This method performs the same task as calling getByName() followed by create() if that returns null. The advantage is that it does it in one call so there are no race conditions if using multiple threads that could cause getByName() to return null, but create() to fail because another thread created a resource in between.
Parameters
nameThe unique name of the Resource
groupThe name of the resource group to attach this new resource to
isManualIs this resource manually loaded? If so, you should really populate the loader parameter in order that the load process can call the loader back when loading is required.
loaderPointer to a ManualLoader implementation which will be called when the Resource wishes to load (should be supplied if you set isManual to true). You can in fact leave this parameter null if you wish, but the Resource will never be able to reload if anything ever causes it to unload. Therefore provision of a proper ManualLoader instance is strongly recommended.
createParamsIf any parameters are required to create an instance, they should be supplied here as name / value pairs
Returns
A pair, the first element being the pointer, and the second being an indicator specifying whether the resource was newly created.
