| CreateOpacityCaster | OpacityCaster is the interface used to cast opacity values. To be used when opacity is needed as a separate texture. IMPORTANT: Make sure to set OpacityChannel to the channel you want to cast, since this caster bakes opacity rather than the channel set in the MaterialChannel setting like most other casters. |
| CreateOpacityCasterSettings | OpacityCasterSettings is the interface used to manage settings for an opacity caster. IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the OpacityChannel setting to the channel you want to cast, since this caster bakes opacity rather than the channel set in the MaterialChannel setting like most other casters. |
| CreatePackedGeometryData | PackedGeometryData keeps the same information as GeometryData, but with all corner data fields moved into per-vertex fields. No per-corner fields exist, apart from the VertexIds field. Please note that the number of vertices in an PackedGeometryData is commonly higher than in an GeometryData, as vertices must be split to accommodate for different corner data. |

| CreateRemeshingLegacyPipeline | RemeshingLegacyPipeline provides a pipeline for a single remeshing legacy processor to be applied on the input scene. |
| CreateRemeshingLegacyProcessor | RemeshingLegacyProcessor creates a new geometry that is based on the input geometry, but that is topologically based on the size of the input geometry rendered at a specific screen size, and allowed pixel error. The remesher will on demand also add texture coordinates and a mapping texture to the output remeshed geometry. The geometry that is to be remeshed can be defined either using an in-memory geometry data object, or using a geometry file placed on disk, the latter being the preferred method, if the source geometry is very large as it can be swapped in/out of memory as needed. |
| CreateRemeshingLegacySettings | Remeshing settings for the RemeshingLegacyProcessor class. The remesher creates a completely new lightweight mesh from the input geometry, and is intended to be viewed from the outside. Here you will set the OnScreenSize (larger numbers means a more detailed mesh), merge distance (which fills in smaller gaps) and a cutting plane (where all parts of the input mesh on the far side of that plane will be culled). |
| 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. |
| CreateRemeshingSettings | Remeshing settings for the RemeshingProcessor class. |
| CreateRepairSettings | Settings for handling unconnected parts and unwanted gaps in the geometry. It consists of two parts, Welding and T-junction removal.

| 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. |

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. |

Here you will set the OnScreenSize (larger numbers means a more detailed mesh), merge distance (which fills in smaller gaps) and a cutting plane (where all parts of the input mesh on the far side of that plane will be culled).
# 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.
# CreateRemeshingSettings

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.
