Class Geometry

Geometry class

The base class of all renderable geometric objects (like Mesh, NurbsSurface, Patch and etc.).

The Geometry base class supports: Control point management, control points defines the base 3D spatial structure of the geometry, different geometric types has different way to define concrete 3D models. Vertex element definition, vertex elements applies extra information like normals/uv coordinates/vertex colors to the geometry, see VertexElement for more details.Object deforming, Deformer can be bonded to animate geometry’s shape.

public class Geometry : Entity

Constructors

NameDescription
Geometry(string)Initializes a new instance of the Geometry class.

Properties

NameDescription
CastShadows { get; set; }Gets or sets whether this geometry can cast shadow
ControlPoints { get; }Gets all control points
Deformers { get; }Gets all deformers associated with this geometry.
Excluded { get; set; }Gets or sets whether to exclude this entity during exporting.
virtual Name { get; set; }Gets or sets the name.
