usage example :
void CViewRender::DrawAlienLens( IMaterialSystem * materials, IMaterial*
pMaterial )
{
materials->Bind( pMaterial );
AlienLens = materials->GetDynamicMesh( true );
CMeshBuilder meshBuilder;
meshBuilder.Begin( AlienLens, MATERIAL_TRIANGLES, 1512 );
meshBuilder.Position3f( 1.073661f, -1.167747f, 0.000000f );
meshBuilder.TexCoord2f( 0, 0.959300f, 0.999500f);
meshBuilder.AdvanceVertex();
meshBuilder.Position3f( 1.009307f, -1.167747f, 0.000000f );
meshBuilder.TexCoord2f( 0, 0.931700f, 0.999500f);
meshBuilder.AdvanceVertex();
... a ridiculous amount of similar calls here
meshBuilder.Position3f( -1.167747f, -1.167747f, -0.000000f );
meshBuilder.TexCoord2f( 0, 0.000500f, 0.999500f);
meshBuilder.AdvanceVertex();
meshBuilder.End();
AlienLens->Draw();
}
I wrote a text parser that takes an .smd, parses the triangles &
texcoords, and transforms them into this c++ code that I then just
copy/paste into my code :p
