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.
2018-10-11 04:28:04 +00:00
[codeblock]
2020-10-31 19:39:24 +00:00
var mesh = ArrayMesh.new()
mesh.add_surface_from_arrays(Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES, CubeMesh.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 10:47:34 +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)
2018-10-11 04:28:04 +00:00
mesh.surface_remove(0)
mdt.commit_to_surface(mesh)
2020-10-31 19:39:24 +00:00
var mi = MeshInstance.new()
mi.mesh = mesh
add_child(mi)
