CreateRemeshingPipeline	RemeshingPipeline provides a pipeline for a single remeshing processor to be applied on the input scene.
CreateRemeshingProcessor	The RemeshingProcessor takes an input scene and replaces it with a lightweight proxy geometry that resembles the original, but does not share vertex data or parts of the original mesh data. The remeshed object is created and optimized for a certain on-screen pixel size - which means that holes and parts that are close to each other will have their gaps filled if the distance is below a pixel. At default settings, the proxy mesh is assumed to be viewed from the outside. Any interior mesh that cannot be seen is removed. The result is a very light-weight mesh that is highly optimized for real-time viewing, or to speed up off-line rendering of small objects. Simplygon is capable of remeshing arbitrary geometry, including non-manifold surfaces.

These weights can either be manually set in the input geometry data or converted from vertex color sets using the WeightsFromColor settings. See the documentation of the WeightsFromColorMode property to see the details of how color intensity is mapped to vertex weight. Vertex weights can be used to reduce more or less aggressively on different parts of the mesh, or used to scale UV allocation in the parameterizers to give more or less texture area to different areas.

NotEqualNode describes the "is not equal" operator, where the per-component output is either 1 or 0 depending on if input0 is equal to input1. Basically, (Input0 != Input1) ? 1 : 0

CreateShadingPowNode

This node describes an exponentiation. The output will be Input 1 to the power of Input 2, and it is calculated per-component.

CreateShadingSinNode

This node describes Sin of the x,y,z components of the input.

CreateShadingSqrtNode

This node describes a square root calculation. The output will be the per-component square root of input 1

CreateShadingStepNode

StepNode describes a single step shading node, where the per-component output is either 1 or 0 depending on if input0 is larger or smaller than input1. Basically, (Input0 >= Input1) ? 1 : 0

CreateShadingSubtractNode

SubtractNode describes a single subtracting shading node in a shading network. Input 2 is subtracted from input 1 per-component.

CreateShadingSwizzlingNode

SwizzlingNode describes a node that can remap the input to the specified output.

CreateShadingTextureNode

TextureNode describes a texture source node in a shading network.

CreateShadingVertexColorNode

VertexColorNode describes a vertex color source node in a shading network.

CreateShortArray

ShortArray is the short implementation of ValueArray. See ValueArray for a description.

CreateStringArray

StringArray is the string implementation of ValueArray. See ValueArray for a description.

CreateSurfaceMapper

ISurfaceMapper creates a mapping image between two user-defined geometries. The mapper basically looks for the source geometry in the inverse normal direction from the outwardly offset destination geometry, and maps pixels accordingly. This means that you can modify the normals of the destination geometry to adjust the search direction to your liking. The geometries can either be set as IGeometryDatas or as the root nodes of scenes. If both are set, the scene is used. If only a single source or a destination is set, or if the source and destination are the same scene or geometry, the surface mapper will map the mesh onto itself.

CreateTable

Table is the base class for tables objects, where items are added into an id-indexed array of objects.

CreateTangentCalculator

TangentCalculator calculates tangent vectors for geometry data objects. One corner field of texture coordinates must exist, as well as normals. The tangents are placed into two corner fields called "Tangents" and "Bitangents". If any of these fields already exists, it is replaced by the new field.

CreateTexCoordAdjuster

Adjusts texture coordinates to cover pixel centers.

CreateTexture

Texture describes a texture object, containing either image data or a path that is referenced by texture nodes in materials.

CreateTextureTable

TextureTable keeps information on textures used while rendering. Note that the table will make sure that the names of objects added are unique within the table, and will rename objects with non-unique names.

CreateTJunctionEliminator

Removes t-junctions by subdividing triangles and welding vertices

CreateTransform3

Transform3 handles homogeneous 4x4 transforms, i.e. transformations which can be represented by multiplying a 4x4 matrix with a homogeneous 3D coordinate. Transform3 can either pre-multiply a matrix onto the transformation, which will add a transform around the current transform, or it can post-multiply the matrix, which will add a transform inside the current transform. Post-multiply is the default mode.

CreateUnsignedCharArray

UnsignedCharArray is the uchar implementation of ValueArray. See ValueArray for a description.

CreateUnsignedIntArray

UnsignedIntArray is the uint implementation of ValueArray. See ValueArray for a description.

CreateUnsignedLongArray

UnsignedLongArray is the ulong implementation of ValueArray. See ValueArray for a description.

CreateUnsignedShortArray

UnsignedShortArray is the ushort implementation of ValueArray. See ValueArray for a description.

CreateUSDExporter

USD scene exporter

CreateUSDImporter

USD scene importer

CreateValueArray

ValueArray adds methods to arrays to generically add, set and get tuples, through real values.

CreateVertexColorCaster

VertexColorCaster.

CreateVertexColorCasterSettings

VertexColorCasterSettings is the interface for basic vertex color caster settings.

CreateVertexWeightSettings

This settings object contains all settings related to how the user-set weighting field "VertexWeights" is setup and used in different contexts. The values in the field can be considered an "importance" factor. Generally, weights set to 1.0 are handled normally, values >1.0 are given greater importance, and values <1.0 are given less. These weights can either be manually set in the input geometry data or converted from vertex color sets using the WeightsFromColor settings. See the documentation of the WeightsFromColorMode property to see the details of how color intensity is mapped to vertex weight. Vertex weights can be used to reduce more or less aggressively on different parts of the mesh, or used to scale UV allocation in the parameterizers to give more or less texture area to different areas.

CreateVisibilitySettings

Visibility settings contains the parameters for how to compute the visibility of a scene and how to use it, both in the ReductionProcessor and the RemeshingProcessor. The visibility information is computed for each part of the mesh determined by the visibility from the selected SceneCamera objects. Cameras are selected using the CameraSelectionSetID. The visibility can be used to guide the reducer and/or texture coordinates generator (parameterizer) with the flags UseVisibilityWeightsInReducer respective UseVisibilityWeightsInTexcoordGenerator. There is also an option to completely throw away triangles that are deemed not visible, using the CullOccludedGeometry flag.

CreateWavefrontExporter
