Helper tool to create geometry.

<description>

|
The [SurfaceTool] is used to construct a [Mesh] by specifying vertex attributes individually. It can be used to construct a [Mesh] from a script. All properties except indices need to be added before calling [method add_vertex]. For example, to add vertex colors and UVs:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var st = SurfaceTool.new()
|
|
st.begin(Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES)
|
|
st.add_color(Color(1, 0, 0))
|
|
st.add_uv(Vector2(0, 0))
|
|
st.add_vertex(Vector3(0, 0, 0))
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
The above [SurfaceTool] now contains one vertex of a triangle which has a UV coordinate and a specified [Color]. If another vertex were added without calling [method add_uv] or [method add_color], then the last values would be used.
|
|
Vertex attributes must be passed [b]before[/b] calling [method add_vertex]. Failure to do so will result in an error when committing the vertex information to a mesh.
|
|
Additionally, the attributes used before the first vertex is added determine the format of the mesh. For example, if you only add UVs to the first vertex, you cannot add color to any of the subsequent vertices.
|
|
See also [ArrayMesh], [ImmediateGeometry] and [MeshDataTool] for procedural geometry generation.

<method name="append_from">

<return type="void" />
|

<argument index="0" name="existing" type="Mesh" />
|
|
<argument index="1" name="surface" type="int" />

|
<argument index="2" name="transform" type="Transform" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Append vertices from a given [Mesh] surface onto the current vertex array with specified [Transform].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Using [method append_from] on a [Thread] is much slower as the GPU must communicate data back to the CPU, while also causing the main thread to stall (as OpenGL is not thread-safe). Consider requesting a copy of the mesh, converting it to an [ArrayMesh] and adding vertices manually instead.

|
<argument index="0" name="primitive" type="int" enum="Mesh.PrimitiveType" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Called before adding any vertices. Takes the primitive type as an argument (e.g. [constant Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES]).
|

<return type="void" />
|

|
|
<argument index="1" name="flags" type="int" default="2194432" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Returns a constructed [ArrayMesh] from current information passed in. If an existing [ArrayMesh] is passed in as an argument, will add an extra surface to the existing [ArrayMesh].
|
|
Default flag is [constant Mesh.ARRAY_COMPRESS_DEFAULT] if compression is enabled. If compression is disabled the default flag is [constant Mesh.ARRAY_FLAG_USE_OCTAHEDRAL_COMPRESSION]. See [code]ARRAY_COMPRESS_*[/code] constants in [enum Mesh.ArrayFormat] for other flags.

<method name="generate_normals">
|
|
<return type="void" />
|
|
<argument index="0" name="flip" type="bool" default="false" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Generates normals from vertices so you do not have to do it manually. If [code]flip[/code] is [code]true[/code], the resulting normals will be inverted. [method generate_normals] should be called [i]after[/i] generating geometry and [i]before[/i] committing the mesh using [method commit] or [method commit_to_arrays]. For correct display of normal-mapped surfaces, you will also have to generate tangents using [method generate_tangents].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] [method generate_normals] only works if the primitive type to be set to [constant Mesh.PRIMITIVE_TRIANGLES].
|
|
</description>
|
|
</method>
|
|
<method name="generate_tangents">
|
|
<return type="void" />
|
|
<description>
|

</method>
|
|
<method name="index">
|
|
<return type="void" />
