MeshDataTool provides access to individual vertices in a [Mesh]. It allows users to read and edit vertex data of meshes. It also creates an array of faces and edges.
To use MeshDataTool, load a mesh with [method create_from_surface]. When you are finished editing the data commit the data to a mesh with [method commit_to_surface].
Below is an example of how MeshDataTool may be used.

[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
var mesh = ArrayMesh.new()
2020-12-04 15:39:45 +00:00
mesh.add_surface_from_arrays(Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES, BoxMesh.new().get_mesh_arrays())
2018-10-11 04:28:04 +00:00
var mdt = MeshDataTool.new()
mdt.create_from_surface(mesh, 0)
for i in range(mdt.get_vertex_count()):
2018-12-14 08:37:19 +00:00
var vertex = mdt.get_vertex(i)
2021-05-20 10:07:26 +00:00
# In this example we extend the mesh by one unit, which results in separated faces as it is flat shaded.
2020-10-31 19:39:24 +00:00
vertex += mdt.get_vertex_normal(i)
# Save your change.
2018-12-14 08:37:19 +00:00
mdt.set_vertex(i, vertex)
2023-04-26 14:01:31 +00:00
mesh.clear_surfaces()
2018-10-11 04:28:04 +00:00
mdt.commit_to_surface(mesh)
2020-10-31 19:39:24 +00:00
var mi = MeshInstance.new()
mi.mesh = mesh
add_child(mi)
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
var mesh = new ArrayMesh();
2020-12-04 15:39:45 +00:00
mesh.AddSurfaceFromArrays(Mesh.PrimitiveType.Triangles, new BoxMesh().GetMeshArrays());
2020-10-31 19:39:24 +00:00
var mdt = new MeshDataTool();
mdt.CreateFromSurface(mesh, 0);
for (var i = 0; i < mdt.GetVertexCount(); i++)
{
Vector3 vertex = mdt.GetVertex(i);
2021-05-20 10:07:26 +00:00
// In this example we extend the mesh by one unit, which results in separated faces as it is flat shaded.
2020-10-31 19:39:24 +00:00
vertex += mdt.GetVertexNormal(i);
// Save your change.
mdt.SetVertex(i, vertex);
}
2023-04-26 14:01:31 +00:00
mesh.ClearSurfaces();
2020-10-31 19:39:24 +00:00
mdt.CommitToSurface(mesh);
var mi = new MeshInstance();
mi.Mesh = mesh;
AddChild(mi);

Returns the [Mesh]'s format. Format is an integer made up of [Mesh] format flags combined together. For example, a mesh containing both vertices and normals would return a format of [code]3[/code] because [constant Mesh.ARRAY_FORMAT_VERTEX] is [code]1[/code] and [constant Mesh.ARRAY_FORMAT_NORMAL] is [code]2[/code].
See [enum Mesh.ArrayFormat] for a list of format flags.
