Meshes

From jME3 wiki

This is an excerpt from the jME3 wiki, check the original articles for more details: Mesh

See Mesh Javadoc

Meshes define the shape of a geometry through vertices, indices, normals, and texture coordinates.

Example

Mesh mesh = new Box(1, 1, 1); // Create a box mesh
Geometry geometry = new Geometry("Box", mesh);
geometry.setMaterial(material);
rootNode.attachChild(geometry);

Meshes can be one of three things:

  • Shapes: The simplest type of Meshes are NGE's default Shapes such as cubes and spheres. You can use several Shapes to build complex Geometries. Shapes are built-in and can be created without using the AssetManager.
  • 3D Models: 3D models and scenes are also made up of meshes, but are more complex than Shapes. You create Models and Scenes in external 3D Mesh Editors and export them as glTF.
  • Custom Meshes: Advanced users can create Custom Meshes programmatically.
