Detailed Description

A shape describes the deformation on a set of control points, which is similar to the cluster deformer in Maya.

For example, we can add a shape to a created geometry. And the shape and the geometry have the same topological information but different position of the control points. With varying amounts of influence, the geometry performs a deformation effect.

Member Function Documentation

bool SetBlendShapeChannel ( FbxBlendShapeChannel * pBlendShapeChannel )

Search for all occurrences

Set the blend shape channel that contains this target shape.

Parameters:

pBlendShapeChannel Pointer to the blend shape channel to set.

Returns:: true on success, false otherwise.

FbxBlendShapeChannel* GetBlendShapeChannel ( ) const

Search for all occurrences

Get the blend shape channel that contains this target shape.

Returns:: a pointer to the blend shape channel if set or NULL.

FbxGeometry* GetBaseGeometry ( )

Search for all occurrences

Get the base geometry of this target shape.

Returns:: a pointer to the base geometry if set or NULL.

Remarks:: Since target shape can only connected to its base geometry through blend shape channel and blend shape deformer. So only when this target shape is connected to a blend shape channel, and the blend shape channel is connected to a blend shape deformer, and the blend shape deformer is used on a base geometry, then to get base geometry will success.

int GetControlPointIndicesCount ( ) const

Search for all occurrences

Get the length of the arrays of control point indices and weights.

Returns:: Length of the arrays of control point indices and weights. Returns 0 if no control point indices have been added or the arrays have been reset.

int* GetControlPointIndices ( ) const

Search for all occurrences

Get the array of control point indices.

Returns:: Pointer to the array of control point indices. NULL if no control point indices have been added or the array has been reset.

void SetControlPointIndicesCount ( int pCount )

Search for all occurrences

Set the array size for the control point indices.

Parameters:

pCount The new count.

void AddControlPointIndex ( int pIndex )

Search for all occurrences

Add a control point index to the control point indices array.

Parameters:

pIndex The control point index to add.

void Reset ( )

Search for all occurrences

Restore the shape to its initial state.

Calling this function will clear the following:

Pointer to blend shape channel.
Control point indices.

virtual FbxObject& Copy ( const FbxObject & pObject ) [virtual]

Search for all occurrences

Copy an object content into this object.

Parameters:

pObject The source object to copy data from.

Returns:: Returns the destination object being modified by the source.

Remarks:: This function replace the assignment operator (operator=). It will copy all property values and the name. Connections are NOT copied.

Reimplemented from FbxGeometryBase.

virtual FbxNodeAttribute::EType GetAttributeType ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Search for all occurrences

Return the type of node attribute which is FbxNodeAttribute::EType::eUnknown.

FbxNodeAttribute::EType::eUnknown is returned because this class derives accidentally from FbxNodeAttribute but its instances are not meant to be assigned to nodes.

Reimplemented from FbxLayerContainer.

virtual FbxStringList GetTypeFlags ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Search for all occurrences

Reimplemented from FbxObject.

virtual bool ConstructProperties ( bool pForceSet ) [protected, virtual]

Search for all occurrences

Reimplemented from FbxGeometryBase.
