H3DU.MeshBuffer

Back to documentation index.

### new H3DU.MeshBuffer()

A geometric mesh in the form of buffer objects. A mesh buffer is made up of one or more vertex attribute objects, and an optional array of vertex indices. Each vertex attribute object contains the values of one attribute of the mesh, such as positions, vertex normals, and texture coordinates. A mesh buffer can store vertices that make up triangles, line segments, or points.

This constructor creates an empty mesh buffer and sets the array of vertex indices to null.

The MeshBuffer class contains four methods (fromPositions, fromPositionsNormals, fromPositionsUV, and fromPositionsNormalsUV) that let you define a mesh buffer from a predefined array of vertex data. See the documentation for those methods for more information.

The Meshes class includes several handy methods for creating built-in shapes; those methods return a H3DU.MeshBuffer object that describes the triangles they are composed of.

Instancing

Some 3D rendering pipelines support instancing, which is a technique for rendering multiple versions of a mesh buffer with a single draw call. Instancing involves the use of a second mesh buffer (an instance buffer); rather than holding vertex data, the instance buffer holds instance data, that is, data to be used when rendering each instance of the first mesh buffer. Besides this, however, instance buffers are largely similar to vertex buffers as far as the MeshBuffer class is concerned; any reference to vertices in the documentation applies analogously to instances in instance buffers. However, instance buffers should use the primitive type MeshBuffer.POINTS; it makes little sense to have instance buffers describe triangles or line segments.

Examples

The following example converts a MeshBuffer object to three.js buffer geometries (and thus serves as a bridge between this library and three.js). Pass the return value to the THREE.Mesh, THREE.LineSegments, or THREE.Points constructor to generate the appropriate kind of shape object depending on the MeshBuffer’s primitive type. This example requires the three.js library.

function toBufferGeometry(mesh) {
var p=mesh.getAttribute("POSITION")
var n=mesh.getAttribute("NORMAL")
var t=mesh.getAttribute("TEXCOORD_0")
var c=mesh.getAttribute("COLOR")
var ind=mesh.getIndices()
var geom=new THREE.BufferGeometry()
var attributes=[p,n,t,c]
var attributeNames=["position","normal","uv","color"]
for(var i=0;i<attributes.length;i++) {
if(attributes[i]) {
var a=attributes[i]
//console.log(a)
var attr=new THREE.InterleavedBufferAttribute(
new THREE.InterleavedBuffer(a.buffer,a.stride),
a.countPerValue,a.offset)
geom.addAttribute(attributeNames[i],attr)
}
}
if(ind)geom.index=new THREE.BufferAttribute(
ind,1)
return geom
}

if(mesh.primitiveType() === MeshBuffer.LINES)
primSize = 2;
if(mesh.primitiveType() === MeshBuffer.POINTS)
primSize = 1;
var ret=[]
for(var i=0;i<ind.length;i+=primSize) {

Return Value

An array of six numbers describing the tightest axis-aligned bounding box that fits all vertices in the mesh. The first three numbers are the smallest-valued X, Y, and Z coordinates, and the last three are the largest-valued X, Y, and Z coordinates. This calculation uses the attribute with the semantic POSITION and set index 0. If there is no such attribute, or no vertices are defined in this buffer, returns the array [Inf, Inf, Inf, -Inf, -Inf, -Inf]. (Type: Array.<number>)

### H3DU.MeshBuffer#getIndex(indicesIndex)

### H3DU.MeshBuffer#getPositions()

Gets an array of vertex positions held by this mesh buffer, arranged by primitive. Only values with the attribute semantic POSITION_0 are returned.

Return Value

An array of primitives, each of which holds the vertices that make up that primitive. If this mesh holds triangles, each primitive will contain three vertices; if lines, two; and if points, one. Each vertex is an array containing that vertex’s coordinates (for example, if the attribute holds 3 elements per value, the coordinates are X, Y, and Z coordinates, in that order). (Type: Array.<Array.<number»)

### (static) H3DU.MeshBuffer.quadStripIndices(vertexCount)

Creates an array of vertex indices corresponding to triangles that make up a strip of quadrilaterals. For a quadrilateral strip, the first 4 vertices make up the first quadrilateral, and each additional quadrilateral is made up of the last 2 vertices of the previous quadrilateral and 2 new vertices.

Parameters

Return Value

Array of vertex indices corresponding to triangles that make up the quadrilateral strip. Every three indices in the array is a separate triangle. Returns an empty array if ‘vertexCount’ is less than 4. If ‘vertexCount’ is not divisible by 2, the excess vertex is ignored. (Type: Array.<number>)

mesh.setIndices(
MeshBuffer.quadStripIndices(mesh.vertexCount())
.map(x=>mesh.getIndex(x)));

Parameters

Return Value

Examples

The following example sets appropriate indices for a mesh buffer with vertices ordered in quadrilateral vertex order.

mesh.setIndices(
MeshBuffer.quadsIndices(mesh.vertexCount())
.map(x=>mesh.getIndex(x)));

### H3DU.MeshBuffer#recalcNormals([flat], [inward])

Recalculates the normal vectors (directions that generally point up and away from the mesh buffer’s surface) for triangles in this mesh buffer, in order to give the shape described by this buffer a flat or smooth appearance or to shade the shape from the inside or the outside upon rendering.

Each normal calculated will be normalized to have a length of 1 (unless the normal is (0,0,0)), and will be stored in an attribute with semantic NORMAL_0.

This method will have an effect only if the buffer includes an attribute with semantic POSITION_0 and each of that attribute’s values is at least 3 elements long. If the buffer already includes an attribute with semantic NORMAL_0, ensures its values are each at least 3 elements long.

For normal calculation to properly affect shading:<ul>

  • Each triangle's vertices in the mesh buffer (as they appear when the triangle's front side is seen) must be ordered in the same winding (counterclockwise or clockwise) throughout. If the vertices have the wrong order, use the `reverseWinding()` method to change their order.
  • If the mesh describes a closed convex surface (such as a sphere or cube) and is being rendered in a right-handed coordinate system (e.g., X-right, Y-up, Z-backward), each of its triangles must have counterclockwise winding for the shape to be shaded from the outside.</ul> #### Parameters * `flat` (Type: boolean) (optional)
    If true, each triangle in the mesh will have the same normal, which usually leads to a flat appearance. If false, each unique vertex in the mesh will have its own normal, which usually leads to a smooth appearance. If null, undefined, or omitted, the default is false. * `inward` (Type: boolean) (optional)
    If true, the generated normals will point inward, so that the shape is shaded from the inside upon rendering; otherwise, the normals will point outward. If null, undefined, or omitted, the default is false. #### Return Value This object. (Type: MeshBuffer) #### Examples // Use flat shading, and shape is shaded from the outside meshBuffer.recalcNormals(true, false); // Both parameters can be omitted, setting both to false meshBuffer.recalcNormals(); ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#reverseNormals() Modifies this mesh buffer by reversing the sign of normals it defines. Has no effect if this mesh buffer doesn't define any normals. All attributes with the semantic NORMAL, regardless of semantic index, are affected. #### Return Value This object. (Type: MeshBuffer) #### Examples The following code generates a two-sided mesh, where the normals on each side face in the opposite direction. This is only useful when drawing open geometric shapes, such as open cylinders and two-dimensional planar shapes. Due to the z-fighting effect, drawing a two-sided mesh is recommended only if face culling is enabled. var twoSidedMesh = originalMesh.merge( new MeshBuffer().merge(originalMesh) .reverseWinding().reverseNormals() ); ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#reverseWinding() Reverses the winding order of the triangles in this mesh buffer by swapping the second and third vertex indices of each one. Has an effect only if this mesh buffer consists of triangles. #### Return Value This object. (Type: MeshBuffer) #### Examples The following code generates a mesh that survives face culling, since the same triangles occur on each side of the mesh, but with different winding orders. This is only useful when drawing open geometric shapes, such as open cylinders and two-dimensional planar shapes. Due to the z-fighting effect, drawing this kind of mesh is recommended only if face culling is enabled. var frontBackMesh = originalMesh.merge( new MeshBuffer().merge(originalMesh).reverseWinding() ); ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#setAttribute(name, buffer, countPerValue, [offset], [stride]) Adds information about a buffer attribute to this mesh buffer (or sets an existing attribute's information). An attribute gives information about the per-vertex data used and stored in a vertex buffer. #### Parameters * `name` (Type: number | string)
    An attribute semantic, such as Semantic.POSITION, "POSITION", or "TEXCOORD_0". Throws an error if this value is a string and the string is invalid. If this isn't a string, the set index of the attribute will be 0 (see MeshBuffer#setAttributeEx). * `buffer` (Type: Float32Array | Array)
    The buffer where the per-vertex data is stored. See MeshBuffer#setAttributeEx. * `countPerValue` (Type: number)
    The number of elements in each per-vertex item. See MeshBuffer#setAttributeEx. * `offset` (Type: number) (optional)
    The index into the array (starting from 0) where the first per-vertex item starts.See MeshBuffer#setAttributeEx. * `stride` (Type: number) (optional)
    The number of elements from the start of one per-vertex item to the start of the next. See MeshBuffer#setAttributeEx. #### Return Value This object. Throws an error if the given semantic is unsupported. (Type: MeshBuffer) ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#setAttributeEx(name, index, buffer, [countPerValue], [offset], [stride]) Adds information about a buffer attribute to this mesh buffer (or sets an existing attribute's information), taking a semantic index as an additional parameter. An attribute gives information about the per-vertex data used and stored in a vertex buffer. #### Parameters * `name` (Type: number | string)
    An attribute semantic, such as Semantic.POSITION, "POSITION", or "TEXCOORD_0". Throws an error if this value is a string and the string is invalid. * `index` (Type: number)
    The semantic index of the attribute for the given semantic. 0 is the first index of the attribute, 1 is the second, and so on. This is ignored if "name" is a string. * `buffer` (Type: Float32Array | Array | BufferAccessor)
    The buffer where the per-vertex data is stored. If this parameter is an (untyped) Array, converts that parameter to a Float32Array. * `countPerValue` (Type: number) (optional)
    The number of elements in each per-vertex item. For example, if each vertex is a 3-element vector, this value is 3. Throws an error if this value is 0 or less. If "buffer" is a BufferAccessor, the value of "countPerValue" is taken from that accessor and this parameter is ignored; this parameter is currently required otherwise. * `offset` (Type: number) (optional)
    The index into the array (starting from 0) where the first per-vertex item starts. If null, undefined, or omitted, the default is 0. Throws an error if less than 0. If "buffer" is a BufferAccessor, the value of "offset" is taken from that accessor and this parameter is ignored. * `stride` (Type: number) (optional)
    The number of elements from the start of one per-vertex item to the start of the next. If null, undefined, or omitted, this value is the same as "countPerValue". Throws an error if this value is 0 or less. If "buffer" is a BufferAccessor, the value of "stride" is taken from that accessor and this parameter is ignored. #### Return Value This object.Throws an error if the given semantic is unsupported. (Type: MeshBuffer) ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#setColor(color) Sets all the vertices in this mesh to the given color, by assigning each value with the attribute semantic COLOR to the given color. (If the attribute's count per value is less than 4, each such value will be set to as many elements of the converted 4-element color as possible.) If an attribute with the semantic COLOR doesn't exist, an attribute with the semantic COLOR_0 and a count per value of 3 is created. All attributes with the semantic COLOR, regardless of semantic index, are affected by this method. #### Parameters * `color` (Type: Array.<number> | number | string)
    A color vector or string identifying the color to set. #### Return Value This object.

Can be null, in which case no index array is used and primitives in the mesh buffer are marked by consecutive vertices. #### Return Value This object. (Type: MeshBuffer) ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#setType(primType) Sets the type of graphics primitives stored in this mesh buffer. #### Parameters * `primType` (Type: number)
    The primitive type, either MeshBuffer.TRIANGLES, MeshBuffer.LINES, or MeshBuffer.POINTS. For TRIANGLES, every three vertices or vertex indices identify a single triangle. For LINES, every two vertices or vertex indices identify a single line segment. For POINTS, every vertex or vertex index identifies a single point. #### Return Value This object. (Type: MeshBuffer) ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#transform(matrix) Transforms the positions and normals of all the vertices currently in this mesh, with the help of a 4x4 matrix. Only values with the attribute semantic POSITION_0 or NORMAL_0 will be affected by this method; values of other attributes will be unaffected. #### Parameters * `matrix` (Type: Array.<number>)
    A 4x4 matrix described in the MathUtil.mat4projectVec3 method. The normals will be transformed using the 3x3 inverse transpose of this matrix (see MathUtil.mat4inverseTranspose3). (Normals need to be transformed specially because they describe directions, not points.) #### Return Value This object. (Type: MeshBuffer) #### Examples The following example transforms positions and normals to move the mesh 2 units to the right. mesh.transform(MathUtil.mat4translated(2, 0, 0)); The following example transforms positions and normals to double the mesh's size. mesh.transform(MathUtil.mat4scaled(2, 2, 2)); ### (static) H3DU.MeshBuffer.triangleFanIndices(vertexCount) Creates an array of vertex indices corresponding to triangles that make up a triangle fan or convex polygon. For triangle fans and convex polygons, the first 3 vertices make up the first triangle, and each additional triangle is made up of the last vertex, the first vertex of the first trangle, and 1 new vertex. #### Parameters * `vertexCount` (Type: number)
    Number of vertices that make up the triangle fan or convex polygon. #### Return Value Array of vertex indices corresponding to triangles that make up the triangle fan or convex polygon.

(Type: Array.<number>) #### Examples The following example sets appropriate indices for a mesh buffer with vertices ordered in triangle fan vertex order. mesh.setIndices( MeshBuffer.triangleFanIndices(mesh.vertexCount()) .map(x=>mesh.getIndex(x))); ### (static) H3DU.MeshBuffer.triangleStripIndices(vertexCount) Creates an array of vertex indices corresponding to triangles that make up a triangle strip. For a triangle strip, the first 3 vertices make up the first triangle, and each additional triangle is made up of the last 2 vertices and 1 new vertex. #### Parameters * `vertexCount` (Type: number)
    Number of vertices that make up the triangle strip. #### Return Value Array of vertex indices corresponding to triangles that make up the triangle strip.

(Type: Array.<number>) #### Examples The following example sets appropriate indices for a mesh buffer with vertices ordered in triangle strip vertex order. mesh.setIndices( MeshBuffer.triangleStripIndices(mesh.vertexCount()) .map(x=>mesh.getIndex(x))); ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#vertexCount() Gets the number of vertices in this mesh buffer, that is, the number of vertex indices in its index buffer (some of which may be duplicates), or if there is no index buffer, the lowest maximum number of items that a buffer attribute can hold. #### Return Value Return value. (Type: number) ### H3DU.MeshBuffer#vertexIndices(primitiveIndex, ret) Gets the vertex indices of a given primitive (triangle, line, or point) in this mesh buffer. #### Parameters * `primitiveIndex` (Type: number)
