This function creates s new polymesh shape.

Syntax

• static Shape* PolyMesh(Surface* surface)

Parameters

• surface: the surface to create a shape from.

Returns

Returns a new shape.

Remarks

A polymesh shape will collide with other objects, but does not move, i.e. it will react as if the mass is zero. If you want to create a shape from a surface that is physically reactive, use the Shape::ConvexHull() or Shape::ConvexDecomposition() functions.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
        Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();

        camera->Move(0,0,-10);
        Light* light = DirectionalLight::Create();
        light->SetRotation(35,35,0);
        
        //Create the ground
        Model* ground = Model::Box(10,1,10);
        ground->SetPosition(0,-0.5,0);
        ground->SetColor(0,1,0);

        //Create a shape
        Shape* shape = Shape::Box(0,0,0, 0,0,0, 10,1,10);

                model->SetPosition(Math::Rnd(-1,1),5+i*2,Math::Rnd(-1,1));
        }

        
        while (true)

                if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;

                Leadwerks::Time::Update();
