Detailed Description

Encodes a mesh with optional subdivision properties and features.

As a point-based primitive, meshes are defined in terms of points that are connected into edges and faces. Many references to meshes use the term 'vertex' in place of or interchangeably with 'points', while some use 'vertex' to refer to the 'face-vertices' that define a face. To avoid confusion, the term 'vertex' is intentionally avoided in favor of 'points' or 'face-vertices'.

The connectivity between points, edges and faces is encoded using a common minimal topological description of the faces of the mesh. Each face is defined by a set of face-vertices using indices into the Mesh's points array (inherited from UsdGeomPointBased) and laid out in a single linear faceVertexIndices array for efficiency. A companion faceVertexCounts array provides, for each face, the number of consecutive face-vertices in faceVertexIndices that define the face. No additional connectivity information is required or constructed, so no adjacency or neighborhood queries are available.

A key property of this mesh schema is that it encodes both subdivision surfaces and simpler polygonal meshes. This is achieved by varying the subdivisionScheme attribute, which is set to specify Catmull-Clark subdivision by default, so polygonal meshes must always be explicitly declared. The available subdivision schemes and additional subdivision features encoded in optional attributes conform to the feature set of OpenSubdiv (https://graphics.pixar.com/opensubdiv/docs/subdivision_surfaces.html).

A Note About Primvars

The following list clarifies the number of elements for and the interpolation behavior of the different primvar interpolation types for meshes:

  • constant: One element for the entire mesh; no interpolation.
  • uniform: One element for each face of the mesh; elements are typically not interpolated but are inherited by other faces derived from a given face (via subdivision, tessellation, etc.).
  • varying: One element for each point of the mesh; interpolation of point data is always linear.
  • vertex: One element for each point of the mesh; interpolation of point data is applied according to the subdivisionScheme attribute.
  • faceVarying: One element for each of the face-vertices that define the mesh topology; interpolation of face-vertex data may be smooth or linear, according to the subdivisionScheme and faceVaryingLinearInterpolation attributes.

Primvar interpolation types and related utilities are described more generally in Interpolation of Geometric Primitive Variables.

A Note About Normals

Normals should not be authored on a subdivision mesh, since subdivision algorithms define their own normals. They should only be authored for polygonal meshes (subdivisionScheme = "none").

The normals attribute inherited from UsdGeomPointBased is not a generic primvar, but the number of elements in this attribute will be determined by its interpolation. See UsdGeomPointBased::GetNormalsInterpolation() . If normals and primvars:normals are both specified, the latter has precedence. If a polygonal mesh specifies neither normals nor primvars:normals, then it should be treated and rendered as faceted, with no attempt to compute smooth normals.

The normals generated for smooth subdivision schemes, e.g. Catmull-Clark and Loop, will likewise be smooth, but others, e.g. Bilinear, may be discontinuous between faces and/or within non-planar irregular faces.

For any described attribute Fallback Value or Allowed Values below that are text/tokens, the actual token is published and defined in UsdGeomTokens. So to set an attribute to the value "rightHanded", use UsdGeomTokens->rightHanded as the value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UsdGeomMesh::UsdGeomMesh ( const UsdPrim prim = UsdPrim())
inlineexplicit

Construct a UsdGeomMesh on UsdPrim prim . Equivalent to UsdGeomMesh::Get(prim.GetStage(), prim.GetPath()) for a valid prim, but will not immediately throw an error for an invalid prim

Definition at line 145 of file mesh.h.

UsdGeomMesh::UsdGeomMesh ( const UsdSchemaBase schemaObj)
inlineexplicit

Construct a UsdGeomMesh on the prim held by schemaObj . Should be preferred over UsdGeomMesh(schemaObj.GetPrim()), as it preserves SchemaBase state.

Definition at line 153 of file mesh.h.

static USDGEOM_API UsdGeomMesh UsdGeomMesh::Define ( const UsdStagePtr &  stage,
const SdfPath path 
)
static

Attempt to ensure a UsdPrim adhering to this schema at path is defined (according to UsdPrim::IsDefined()) on this stage.

If a prim adhering to this schema at path is already defined on this stage, return that prim. Otherwise author an SdfPrimSpec with specifier == SdfSpecifierDef and this schema's prim type name for the prim at path at the current EditTarget. Author SdfPrimSpec s with specifier == SdfSpecifierDef and empty typeName at the current EditTarget for any nonexistent, or existing but not Defined ancestors.

The given path must be an absolute prim path that does not contain any variant selections.

If it is impossible to author any of the necessary PrimSpecs, (for example, in case path cannot map to the current UsdEditTarget's namespace) issue an error and return an invalid UsdPrim.

Note that this method may return a defined prim whose typeName does not specify this schema class, in case a stronger typeName opinion overrides the opinion at the current EditTarget.

static USDGEOM_API UsdGeomMesh UsdGeomMesh::Get ( const UsdStagePtr &  stage,
const SdfPath path 
)
static

Return a UsdGeomMesh holding the prim adhering to this schema at path on stage. If no prim exists at path on stage, or if the prim at that path does not adhere to this schema, return an invalid schema object. This is shorthand for the following:

UsdGeomMesh(stage->GetPrimAtPath(path));
USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetCornerIndicesAttr ( ) const

The indices of points for which a corresponding sharpness value is specified in cornerSharpnesses (so the size of this array must match that of cornerSharpnesses).

Declaration int[] cornerIndices = []
C++ Type VtArray<int>
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->IntArray
USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetCornerSharpnessesAttr ( ) const

The sharpness values associated with a corresponding set of points specified in cornerIndices (so the size of this array must match that of cornerIndices). Use the constant SHARPNESS_INFINITE for a perfectly sharp corner.

Declaration float[] cornerSharpnesses = []
C++ Type VtArray<float>
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->FloatArray
USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetCreaseIndicesAttr ( ) const

The indices of points grouped into sets of successive pairs that identify edges to be creased. The size of this array must be equal to the sum of all elements of the creaseLengths attribute.

Declaration int[] creaseIndices = []
C++ Type VtArray<int>
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->IntArray
USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetCreaseLengthsAttr ( ) const

The length of this array specifies the number of creases (sets of adjacent sharpened edges) on the mesh. Each element gives the number of points of each crease, whose indices are successively laid out in the creaseIndices attribute. Since each crease must be at least one edge long, each element of this array must be at least two.

Declaration int[] creaseLengths = []
C++ Type VtArray<int>
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->IntArray
USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetCreaseSharpnessesAttr ( ) const

The per-crease or per-edge sharpness values for all creases. Since creaseLengths encodes the number of points in each crease, the number of elements in this array will be either len(creaseLengths) or the sum over all X of (creaseLengths[X] - 1). Note that while the RI spec allows each crease to have either a single sharpness or a value per-edge, USD will encode either a single sharpness per crease on a mesh, or sharpnesses for all edges making up the creases on a mesh. Use the constant SHARPNESS_INFINITE for a perfectly sharp crease.

Declaration float[] creaseSharpnesses = []
C++ Type VtArray<float>
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->FloatArray
USDGEOM_API size_t UsdGeomMesh::GetFaceCount ( UsdTimeCode  timeCode = UsdTimeCode::Default()) const

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetFaceVaryingLinearInterpolationAttr ( ) const

Specifies how elements of a primvar of interpolation type "faceVarying" are interpolated for subdivision surfaces. Interpolation can be as smooth as a "vertex" primvar or constrained to be linear at features specified by several options. Valid values correspond to choices available in OpenSubdiv:

  • none: No linear constraints or sharpening, smooth everywhere
  • cornersOnly: Sharpen corners of discontinuous boundaries only, smooth everywhere else
  • cornersPlus1: The default, same as "cornersOnly" plus additional sharpening at points where three or more distinct face-varying values occur
  • cornersPlus2: Same as "cornersPlus1" plus additional sharpening at points with at least one discontinuous boundary corner or only one discontinuous boundary edge (a dart)
  • boundaries: Piecewise linear along discontinuous boundaries, smooth interior
  • all: Piecewise linear everywhere

These are illustrated and described in more detail in the OpenSubdiv documentation: https://graphics.pixar.com/opensubdiv/docs/subdivision_surfaces.html#face-varying-interpolation-rules

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetFaceVertexCountsAttr ( ) const

Provides the number of vertices in each face of the mesh, which is also the number of consecutive indices in faceVertexIndices that define the face. The length of this attribute is the number of faces in the mesh. If this attribute has more than one timeSample, the mesh is considered to be topologically varying.

Declaration int[] faceVertexCounts
C++ Type VtArray<int>
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->IntArray
USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetFaceVertexIndicesAttr ( ) const

Flat list of the index (into the points attribute) of each vertex of each face in the mesh. If this attribute has more than one timeSample, the mesh is considered to be topologically varying.

Declaration int[] faceVertexIndices
C++ Type VtArray<int>
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->IntArray
USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetHoleIndicesAttr ( ) const

The indices of all faces that should be treated as holes, i.e. made invisible. This is traditionally a feature of subdivision surfaces and not generally applied to polygonal meshes.

Declaration int[] holeIndices = []
C++ Type VtArray<int>
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->IntArray
USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetInterpolateBoundaryAttr ( ) const

Specifies how subdivision is applied for faces adjacent to boundary edges and boundary points. Valid values correspond to choices available in OpenSubdiv:

  • none: No boundary interpolation is applied and boundary faces are effectively treated as holes
  • edgeOnly: A sequence of boundary edges defines a smooth curve to which the edges of subdivided boundary faces converge
  • edgeAndCorner: The default, similar to "edgeOnly" but the smooth boundary curve is made sharp at corner points

These are illustrated and described in more detail in the OpenSubdiv documentation: https://graphics.pixar.com/opensubdiv/docs/subdivision_surfaces.html#boundary-interpolation-rules

Declaration token interpolateBoundary = "edgeAndCorner"
C++ Type TfToken
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Token
Allowed Values none, edgeOnly, edgeAndCorner
static USDGEOM_API const TfTokenVector& UsdGeomMesh::GetSchemaAttributeNames ( bool  includeInherited = true)
static

Return a vector of names of all pre-declared attributes for this schema class and all its ancestor classes. Does not include attributes that may be authored by custom/extended methods of the schemas involved.

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetSubdivisionSchemeAttr ( ) const

The subdivision scheme to be applied to the surface. Valid values are:

  • catmullClark: The default, Catmull-Clark subdivision; preferred for quad-dominant meshes (generalizes B-splines); interpolation of point data is smooth (non-linear)
  • loop: Loop subdivision; preferred for purely triangular meshes; interpolation of point data is smooth (non-linear)
  • bilinear: Subdivision reduces all faces to quads (topologically similar to "catmullClark"); interpolation of point data is bilinear
  • none: No subdivision, i.e. a simple polygonal mesh; interpolation of point data is linear

Polygonal meshes are typically lighter weight and faster to render, depending on renderer and render mode. Use of "bilinear" will produce a similar shape to a polygonal mesh and may offer additional guarantees of watertightness and additional subdivision features (e.g. holes) but may also not respect authored normals.

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute UsdGeomMesh::GetTriangleSubdivisionRuleAttr ( ) const

Specifies an option to the subdivision rules for the Catmull-Clark scheme to try and improve undesirable artifacts when subdividing triangles. Valid values are "catmullClark" for the standard rules (the default) and "smooth" for the improvement.

See https://graphics.pixar.com/opensubdiv/docs/subdivision_surfaces.html#triangle-subdivision-rule

static USDGEOM_API bool UsdGeomMesh::IsSharpnessInfinite ( const float  sharpness)
static

Returns whether or not sharpness is considered infinite.

The sharpness value is usually intended for 'creaseSharpness' or 'cornerSharpness' arrays and a return value of true indicates that the crease or corner is perfectly sharp.

static USDGEOM_API bool UsdGeomMesh::ValidateTopology ( const VtIntArray &  faceVertexIndices,
const VtIntArray &  faceVertexCounts,
size_t  numPoints,
std::string reason = nullptr 
)
static

Validate the topology of a mesh. This validates that the sum of faceVertexCounts is equal to the size of the faceVertexIndices array, and that all face vertex indices in the faceVertexIndices array are in the range [0, numPoints). Returns true if the topology is valid, or false otherwise. If the topology is invalid and reason is non-null, an error message describing the validation error will be set.
