Objects: make evaluated data runtime storage usable for types other than mesh Authored by Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) on Jan 28 2020, 11:26 AM. Tags None Subscribers None
Details This is a change from the new-object-types branch, so we can use it like this: This only changes mesh_eval. It seems logical to do the same for mesh_deform_eval, and perhaps make instancing mechanism using Mesh_Runtime.mesh_eval generic as well. But I wanted to check first if this is the right direction.

Event TimelineComment Actions Seems good and logical. Would think that eventually, would be nice to have an assert in BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh() to catch logic mistakes like "give me mesh for volume object". But can happen later as well, as it's possible that some of the users of BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh don't check object type first. Comment Actions I will check on this still, to see if we can add an assert. Maybe in the future "give me mesh for volume object" may actually be a valid request if we have modifier nodes, though likely the API function for that will be different. |
