lovr.graphics.newMesh

Edit

Creates a Mesh. The capacity of the Mesh must be provided upfront, using either a vertex count or the vertex data itself. A custom vertex format can be given to specify the set of attributes in each vertex, which get sent to the vertex shader. If the format isn't given, the default vertex format will be used:

{
  { 'VertexPosition', 'vec3' },
  { 'VertexNormal', 'vec3' },
  { 'VertexUV', 'vec2' }
}

mesh = lovr.graphics.newMesh(count, options)
mesh = lovr.graphics.newMesh(vertices, options)
mesh = lovr.graphics.newMesh(blob, options)
mesh = lovr.graphics.newMesh(format, count, options)
mesh = lovr.graphics.newMesh(format, vertices, options)
mesh = lovr.graphics.newMesh(format, blob, options)
mesh = lovr.graphics.newMesh(buffer)

Notes

The Mesh will always use the gpu storage mode if it's created from a vertex buffer.

Example

function lovr.load()
  mesh = lovr.graphics.newMesh({
    { 'VertexPosition', 'vec3' },
    { 'VertexColor', 'vec4' }
  }, {
    {   0,  .4, 0 , 1, 0, 0, 1 },
    { -.5, -.4, 0 , 0, 1, 0, 1 },
    {  .5, -.4, 0 , 0, 0, 1, 1 }
  })
end

function lovr.draw(pass)
  pass:draw(mesh, 0, 1.7, -1)
end
