From ed7347d73dbf42c0a58c743151503523148537d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugo Locurcio Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2020 23:21:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Improve the procedural geometry class documentations This references Godot's winding order at the top of every procedural geometry class, as well as referencing other classes within a given geometry class. A warning about ImmediateGeometry3D performance was also added. --- doc/classes/ArrayMesh.xml | 3 ++- doc/classes/ImmediateGeometry3D.xml | 3 +++ doc/classes/MeshDataTool.xml | 2 ++ doc/classes/SurfaceTool.xml | 2 ++ 4 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/doc/classes/ArrayMesh.xml b/doc/classes/ArrayMesh.xml index 9e742ea581b..b45716544ac 100644 --- a/doc/classes/ArrayMesh.xml +++ b/doc/classes/ArrayMesh.xml @@ -22,6 +22,8 @@ m.mesh = arr_mesh [/codeblock] The [MeshInstance3D] is ready to be added to the [SceneTree] to be shown. + See also [ImmediateGeometry3D], [MeshDataTool] and [SurfaceTool] for procedural geometry generation. + [b]Note:[/b] Godot uses clockwise [url=https://learnopengl.com/Advanced-OpenGL/Face-culling]winding order[/url] for front faces of triangle primitive modes. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/content/procedural_geometry/arraymesh.html @@ -56,7 +58,6 @@ Surfaces are created to be rendered using a [code]primitive[/code], which may be any of the types defined in [enum Mesh.PrimitiveType].
