USimpleDynamicMeshComponent

[USimpleDynamicMeshComponent](API\Plugins\ModelingComponents\USimpleDynamicMeshComponent) is a mesh component similar to [UProceduralMeshComponent](API\Plugins\ProceduralMeshComponent\UProceduralMeshComponent), except it bases the renderable geometry off an internal [FDynamicMesh3](API\Plugins\DynamicMesh\FDynamicMesh3) instance.

Remarks

USimpleDynamicMeshComponent is a mesh component similar to UProceduralMeshComponent, except it bases the renderable geometry off an internal FDynamicMesh3 instance.

There is some support for undo/redo on the component (

This component draws wireframe-on-shaded when Wireframe is enabled, or when bExplicitShowWireframe = true

Variables

Name Description

Public variable UProperty

bool

 

bDrawOnTop

Do not use this

Public variable UProperty

bool

 

bExplicitShowWireframe

If true, we always show the wireframe on top of the shaded mesh, even when not in wireframe mode

Public variable UProperty

bool

 

bInvalidateProxyOnChange

If false, we don't completely invalidate the RenderProxy when ApplyChange() is called (assumption is it will be handled elsewhere)

Public variable

FSimpleMulticas...

 

OnMeshChanged

This delegate fires when a FCommandChange is applied to this component, so that parent objects know the mesh has changed.

TangentsType

How should Tangents be calculated/handled

Public variable

TriangleColorFunc

If this function is set, we will use these colors instead of vertex colors
