- Description
- -----------
- MultiMesh provides low level mesh instancing. If the amount of :ref:`Mesh<class_mesh>` instances needed goes from hundreds to thousands (and most need to be visible at close proximity) creating such a large amount of :ref:`MeshInstance<class_meshinstance>` nodes may affect performance by using too much CPU or video memory.
- For this case a MultiMesh becomes very useful, as it can draw thousands of instances with little API overhead.
- As a drawback, if the instances are too far away of each other, performance may be reduced as every single instance will always rendered (they are spatially indexed as one, for the whole object).
- Since instances may have any behavior, the AABB used for visibility must be provided by the user, or generated with :ref:`generate_aabb<class_MultiMesh_generate_aabb>`.
- Member Function Description
- ---------------------------
- .. _class_MultiMesh_generate_aabb:
- - void **generate_aabb** **(** **)**
- Generate a new visibility AABB, using mesh AABB and instance transforms. Since instance information is stored in the :ref:`VisualServer<class_visualserver>`, this function is VERY SLOW and must NOT be used often.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_get_aabb:
- - :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` **get_aabb** **(** **)** const
- Return the visibility AABB.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_get_instance_color:
- - :ref:`Color<class_color>` **get_instance_color** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` instance **)** const
- Get the color of a specific instance.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_get_instance_count:
- - :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_instance_count** **(** **)** const
- Return the amount of instances that is going to be drawn.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_get_instance_transform:
- - :ref:`Transform<class_transform>` **get_instance_transform** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` instance **)** const
- Return the transform of a specific instance.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_get_mesh:
- - :ref:`Mesh<class_mesh>` **get_mesh** **(** **)** const
- Return the :ref:`Mesh<class_mesh>` resource drawn as multiple instances.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_set_aabb:
- - void **set_aabb** **(** :ref:`AABB<class_aabb>` visibility_aabb **)**
- Set the visibility AABB. If not provided, MultiMesh will not be visible.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_set_instance_color:
- - void **set_instance_color** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` instance, :ref:`Color<class_color>` color **)**
- Set the color of a specific instance.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_set_instance_count:
- - void **set_instance_count** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` count **)**
- Set the amount of instances that is going to be drawn. Changing this number will erase all the existing instance transform and color data.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_set_instance_transform:
- - void **set_instance_transform** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` instance, :ref:`Transform<class_transform>` transform **)**
- Set the transform for a specific instance.
- .. _class_MultiMesh_set_mesh:
- - void **set_mesh** **(** :ref:`Mesh<class_mesh>` mesh **)**
- Set the :ref:`Mesh<class_mesh>` resource to be drawn in multiple instances.
