The Mesh type exposes the following members:
Constructors
| Constructor | Description |
|---|---|
__init__(self) | Initializes a new instance of the Mesh class. |
__init__(self, height_map) | Construct a mesh using specified height map, if the height map’s pixel format contains multiple components, the first(usually the red) component will be used as the height value(z) The control point’s x and y components are normalized pixel coordinate. |
__init__(self, height_map, transform) | Construct a mesh using specified height map, if the height map’s pixel format contains multiple components, the first(usually the red) component will be used as the height value(z) The control point’s x and y components are normalized pixel coordinate. |
__init__(self, height_map, tri_mesh, transform) | Construct a mesh using specified height map, if the height map’s pixel format contains multiple components, the first(usually the red) component will be used as the height value(z) The control point’s x and y components are normalized pixel coordinate. |
__init__(self, name) | Initializes a new instance of the Mesh class. |
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| name | Gets or sets the name. |
| properties | Gets the collection of all properties. |
| scene | Gets the scene that this object belongs to |
| parent_nodes | Gets all parent nodes, an entity can be attached to multiple parent nodes for geometry instancing |
| excluded | Gets or sets whether to exclude this entity during exporting. |
| parent_node | Gets or sets the first parent node, if set the first parent node, this entity will be detached from other parent nodes. |
| visible | Gets or sets if the geometry is visible |
| deformers | Gets all deformers associated with this geometry. |
| cast_shadows | Gets or sets whether this geometry can cast shadow |
| receive_shadows | Gets or sets whether this geometry can receive shadow. |
| vertex_elements | Gets all vertex elements |
| polygon_count | Gets the count of polygons |
| polygons | Gets the polygons definition of the mesh |

Example
To add a polygon in mesh:
from aspose.threed.entities import Mesh
mesh = Mesh()
indices = [0, 1, 2]
mesh.create_polygon(indices)
Travel through all polygons in mesh:
from aspose.threed.entities import Mesh
mesh = Mesh()
for polygon in mesh:
pass
