The standard naming convention used in the filters/renderers are as follows: (Case sensitive naming, other fields may also be present) 'Coords' Positional coordinates of a vertex, expressed with a 3-component real field (XYZ). 'TexCoords0' - 'TexCoords255' Texture coordinates of a vertex, expressed with a 2 components real field. By convention, the existing fields must be sequential, and must start with 'TexCoord0'. 'Normals' Normal vector for the vertex, expressed with a 3-component real field, a normalized (XYZ) vector. 'VertexIds' The id of the current vertex in the primitive. This field is present even if the vertex data is directly specified in the primitive data, to specify topology. The field is of type rid. 'MaterialIds' The material of the primitive. The field is of type rid. The 'Coords' and 'VertexIds' fields always exist in the object, but the other fields are optional. Also, there can exist user fields.

CreateOcclusionMeshSettings Settings for occlusion meshes
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.
CreateParameterizer Computes texture coordinates for arbitrary geometry.
CreateParameterizerSettings Settings for the parameterizer.

Also settings for things like symmetry are set here.
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. Welding merges vertices that are closer than a set distance from each other. T-junction removal finds open edges that lies within a set distance from other open edges, but without matching vertices. It then splits those triangles into smaller, matching triangles and fuses them together.

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.

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.

ImageData objects can be referenced, and swapped in/out of memory, to secondary storage. This is useful for very large images that cannot be stored in-memory. ImageData objects can be indexed in 1-,2- or 3D, and each ImageData chunk is cloned from a source ImageData object, at setup. Fields added to ImageData chunks after setup will only be added into that chunk, and is not recommended.

GeometryData may represent a whole geometric object, but can also be used by streaming data filters, and in this way, only represents a part of the object. Different fields in the Vertices and Triangles fields data objects will contain point data and topological data. The standard naming convention used in the filters/renderers are as follows: (Case sensitive naming, other fields may also be present) 'Coords' Positional coordinates of a vertex, expressed with a 3-component real field (XYZ). 'TexCoords0' - 'TexCoords255' Texture coordinates of a vertex, expressed with a 2 components real field. By convention, the existing fields must be sequential, and must start with 'TexCoord0'. 'Normals' Normal vector for the vertex, expressed with a 3-component real field, a normalized (XYZ) vector. 'VertexIds' The id of the current vertex in the primitive. This field is present even if the vertex data is directly specified in the primitive data, to specify topology. The field is of type rid. 'MaterialIds' The material of the primitive. The field is of type rid. The 'Coords' and 'VertexIds' fields always exist in the object, but the other fields are optional. Also, there can exist user fields.

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.

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).

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.

It consists of two parts, Welding and T-junction removal. Welding merges vertices that are closer than a set distance from each other. T-junction removal finds open edges that lies within a set distance from other open edges, but without matching vertices. It then splits those triangles into smaller, matching triangles and fuses them together.

SceneCamera contains settings that specify how the camera works and it contains a number of views for that type of camera. A view is a combination of a CameraPosition and a TargetPosition. The SceneCamera can contain any number of views but every element in TargetPositions has to correspond to a tuple element in CameraPosition. TargetPositions is not needed if the camera is set to being omni directional.

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.

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.
