Method ToNativePointer

Namespace: Box3D.Interop

Assembly: Box3D.NET.dll

ToNativePointer(CompoundGeometry)

Gets the native pointer of a baked compound.

public static b3CompoundData* ToNativePointer(this CompoundGeometry compound)

Parameters

compound CompoundGeometry: The compound.

Returns

b3CompoundData*: The pointer the C API expects, owned by compound.

Remarks

The one piece of geometry that cannot be reached from the shape that carries it. Hulls, meshes and height fields all have a b3Shape_Get... accessor; compounds have none, so anything that needs to read a compound's children - a debug renderer tessellating them, a tool serializing them with b3ConvertCompoundToBytes - has to be handed the pointer by whoever baked it.

Valid only while the compound is alive, and freed by disposing it.
