ID3DXSkinInfo::ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh Method

Takes a mesh and returns a new mesh with per-vertex blend weights, indices, and a bone combination table. The table describes which bone palettes affect which subsets of the mesh.

Syntax

HRESULT ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh(      

    LPD3DXMESH pMesh,
    DWORD Options,
    DWORD paletteSize,
    CONST LPDWORD pAdjacencyIn,
    LPDWORD pAdjacencyOut,
    DWORD *pFaceRemap,
    LPD3DXBUFFER *ppVertexRemap,
    DWORD *pMaxFaceInfl,
    DWORD *pNumBoneCombinations,
    LPD3DXBUFFER *ppBoneCombinationTable,
    LPD3DXMESH *ppMesh
);

Parameters

pMesh

[in] The input mesh. See ID3DXMesh.

Options

[in] Currently unused.

paletteSize

[in] Number of bone matrices available for matrix palette skinning.

pAdjacencyIn

[in] Input mesh adjacency information.

pAdjacencyOut

[in] Output mesh adjacency information.

pFaceRemap

[out] Pointer to a destination buffer containing the new index for each face. This parameter is optional, NULL may be used.

ppVertexRemap

[out] Address of a pointer to an ID3DXBuffer interface, which contains the new index for each vertex. This parameter is optional, NULL may be used.

pMaxFaceInfl

[out] Pointer to a DWORD which will contain the maximum number of bone influences required per face for this skinning method.

pNumBoneCombinations

[out] Pointer to the number of bones in the bone combination table.

ppBoneCombinationTable

[out] Pointer to the bone combination table. The data is organized in a D3DXBONECOMBINATION structure.

ppMesh

[out] Pointer to the new mesh.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK.

If the method fails, the return value can be D3DERR_INVALIDCALL.

Remarks

Each element in the remap arrays specifies the previous index for that position. For example, if a vertex was in position 3 but has been remapped to position 5, then the fifth element of pVertexRemap will contain 3.
