AdaptiveMeshes are very similar to StaticMesh at the exception that they have pre-defined level of details generated automatically using the Geometry GenerateLODs function. For each of theses LOD information is generated which allows an adaptivemesh to adjust its topology dynamically using a per pixel or triangle count method.

Static Variables

Name	Description
`object`	The base Object that defines the transformation of the AdaptiveMesh.
Declaration Object *object
`mesh`	The Mesh asset the connected to the current AdaptiveMesh.
Declaration Mesh *mesh
`rendering_settings`	Override the default geometry ratio and provides a per Object basis RenderingSettings.
Declaration RenderingSettings rendering_settings

Functions

Name	Description
`SetMesh`	Connect or disconnect a Mesh to the active AdaptiveMesh.
Declaration void SetMesh( Mesh mesh ) Parameters* `mesh`: Specify a Mesh asset to connect to the active AdaptiveMesh or pass a `nil` to disconnect an active mesh connection.
`SetMaterial`	Connect a Material to use for a specific LOD primitive when it is draw on a certain RenderLayer.
Declaration bool SetMaterial( unsigned short lod_index, int renderlayer_cap, unsigned short primitive_index, Material material ) Parameters* `lod_index`: Specify the index of the level of detail. `renderlayer_cap`: Specify for which render layer the material will be used. `primitive_index`: Specify the index for the primitive that will use the material. `material`: Provide an existing material asset to connect; or `nil` to disconnect any previously connected material. Return Value `true` if the operation succeed; return `false` if either the `lod_index` or the `primitive_index` is out of bounds.
`CopyMaterials`	Copy the primitive LOD Material settings from one RenderLayer to another.
Declaration bool CopyMaterials( unsigned short lod_index, int from_renderlayer_cap, int to_renderlayer_cap ) Parameters `lod_index`: Specify the index of the level of detail. `from_renderlayer_cap`: Specify for which render layer to copy the material settings from. `to_renderlayer_cap`: Specify for which render layer the settings should be pasted. Return Value `true` if the operation succeed; return `false` if the `lod_index` does not exists or there is no material settings for the layer specified by the `from_renderlayer_cap` parameter.
`GetMaterial`	Retrieve a Material used by a LOD primitive for a specific RenderLayer.
Declaration Material GetMaterial( unsigned short lod_index, int renderlayer_cap, unsigned short primitive_index ) Parameters* `lod_index`: Specify the index of the level of detail. `renderlayer_cap`: Specify the render layer. `primitive_index`: Specify the primitive. Return Value On success the Material will be returned; else `nil` if the `lod_index` does not exists, there is no setup for the `renderlayer_cap` or if the `primitive_index` is out of bounds.

Events

Callbacks	Description
`OnDraw`	Triggered when the AdaptiveMesh is about to be sent on GPU for drawing.
Declaration function OnDraw()
`OnDisplay`	Triggered right after the AdaptiveMesh is done drawing.
Declaration function OnDisplay()

RenderingSettings

Settings that allows you to override the default adaptation method of the reduction data associated to a Geometry. Theses properties extend the capabilities and rely on the simplification and LOD methods available through the Geometry API.

Variables

Name	Description
`adaptation_method`	The prefered AdaptationMethod to use for the active RenderingSettings.
Declaration AdaptationMethod adaptation_method
`lod_details`	Value used to interpolate LOD (`kLevelOfDetails`); or the amound of details should be kept during simplification (`kMicroDisplacements`).
Declaration float lod_details Range 0.0 to 1.0
`lod_outline`	The silouhette threshold to use during simplification.
Declaration float lod_outline Range 0.0 to 1.0
`lod_proximity`	Bounding sphere multiplier that disable `kMicroDisplacements` when getting in proximity of the Object.
Declaration float lod_proximity Range 0.0 to 10.0
`fps`	Amount of LOD to generate per second when using `kMicroDisplacements`.
Declaration unsigned char fps Remarks A value of `0` force the internal system to generate a new version of the Geometry every frame. Range 0 to 120

AdaptationMethod

Primitives drawing modes.

kDefault: Use the Geometry lod_details value to interpolate LODs.
kLevelOfDetails: Override the Geometry lod_details threshold for a specific value to use on the active Object to render.
kMicroDisplacements: Procedurally generate an infinite amount of LOD based on the active Camera view and vertex distance using a Geometry reduction data.
