ID3DXSkinInfo Interface

Applications use the methods of the ID3DXSkinInfo interface to manipulate bone matrices, which are used to skin vertex data for animation. This interface is no longer strictly tied to ID3DXMesh and can be used to skin any set of vertex data.

ID3DXSkinInfo Members

Clone
Clone a skin info object.
ConvertToBlendedMesh
Takes a mesh and returns a new mesh with per-vertex blend weights and a bone combination table. The table describes which bones affect which subsets of the mesh.
ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh
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.
GetBoneInfluence
Get the vertices and weights that a bone influences.
GetBoneName
Get the bone name, from the bone index.
GetBoneOffsetMatrix
Get the bone offset matrix.
GetDeclaration
Get the vertex declaration.
GetFVF
Get the fixed function vertex value.
GetMaxFaceInfluences
Get the maximum face influences in a triangle mesh with the specified index buffer.
GetMaxVertexInfluences
Get the number of influences for a bone.
GetMinBoneInfluence
Get the minimum bone influence. Influence values smaller than this are ignored.
GetNumBoneInfluences
Get the number of influences for a bone.
GetNumBones
Get the number of bones.
Remap
Update bone influence information to match vertices after they are reordered. This should be called if the target vertex buffer has been reordered externally.
SetBoneInfluence
Set the influence value for a bone.
SetBoneName
Set the bone name.
SetBoneOffsetMatrix
Set the bone offset matrix.
SetDeclaration
Set the vertex declaration.
SetFVF
Set the flexible vertex format (FVF) type.
SetMinBoneInfluence
Set the minimum bone influence. Influence values smaller than this are ignored.
UpdateSkinnedMesh
Apply software skinning to the target vertices based on the current matrices.

Remarks

This interface, like all Component Object Model (COM) interfaces, inherits the IUnknown interface.
