High resolution mesh?

samurle

I'm using the following code to get the mesh vertices, but I only get the base resolution mesh (about 17k) for Genesis 3 character.

 node->finalize(); DzObject *obj = node->getObject(); DzVertexMesh *cache = obj->getCachedGeom(); for(int i=0; i < cache->getNumVertices(); i++) { }

 

How do I get the high resolution mesh vertices, instead?  

I've noticed that mesh resolution is set to "High Resolution" by default in the Parameters tab, so I don't understand why I'm getting the base mesh instead.

I assumed the finalize() function converts the mesh to the current resolution set in the Parameters tab?  Is this correct?

Changing the parameters passed to finalize() doesn't work.

finalize(FALSE,TRUE);    // default - doesn't work
finalize(TRUE,TRUE);    // doesn't work

If I use the Wavefront exporter, I get 68k for SubD level 1, and 272k for SubD level 2, so it's obviously possible for a plugin to access the high resolution mesh.  What do I need to do to access it?

btw, the SDK docs are outdated too.  There are no such functions called getInteractiveLevelControl() or getRenderLevelControl(). There is no such class called DzSubDFigureShape either.

Ah, nevermind.  I figured it out.  I didn't realize I could cast getCachedGeom() to DzGeometry, which contains the high res faces.  Awesome.
