[ Up: Operation Reference ]

CreateMeshModelInstanceArray is an operation that takes an array of MeshModelInterfaces as input and returns a Transform node encapsulating a list of MeshModelInstances. Each MeshModelInstance in the list represents an instance of a unique dataset from the array of MeshModelInterfaces.

Default label: "Create MeshModelInstance Array"
Member of plug-in: Rendering
Catalogue path: Scene

Inputs:
Mesh models	CSIRO::DataExecution::ObjectDictionary	An array of MeshModelInterfaces or array of ObjectDictionary. When it's ObjectDictionary, it must contain an element 'mesh' as a MeshModelInterface. Optionally, an element 'texturizer'
Enabled	bool	Whether or not to display the model in the Scene.
Name	QString	(Optional) A human-readable name for the ModelInstance. Does not need to be unique.
Shader	CSIRO::Rendering::Shader
Node normals state	QString
Transform matrix	CSIRO::Mesh::TransformMatrix	Local coordinate transform for the MeshModelInstance. Controls its location, orientation and scale relative to its parent transform.
Use texturizer	bool	Use texturizer if the mesh provides texturizer.
Edge break threshold	double	Controls where hard "seams" appear on the model on edges where two or more elements (faces) on the mesh meet. If the angle between an element's normal and the "angle wighted average normal" is greater than this number (degrees), the edge will be represented as a hard edge. Set to 180 to avoid any edge breaks.
Outputs:
Mesh model instance	CSIRO::Rendering::Transform	An instance of a MeshModelInterface dataset that can be added to a Scene.
