天行健 君子當(dāng)自強而不息

蒙皮骨骼動畫網(wǎng)格模型接口是對上一節(jié)骨骼動畫網(wǎng)格模型接口的擴展，添加了處理蒙皮信息的功能。

 

進(jìn)一步擴展結(jié)構(gòu)體D3DXMESHCONTAINER

為了在網(wǎng)格模型中包含蒙皮信息，需要進(jìn)一步擴展D3DXMESHCONTAINER_DERIVEED，其定義如下：

struct D3DXMESHCONTAINER_DERIVED : public D3DXMESHCONTAINER
{
	IDirect3DTexture9**		ppTextures;
	ID3DXMesh*		pOrgMesh;
	DWORD			MaxBonesInflPerVertex;
	DWORD			NumAttrGroups;
	ID3DXBuffer*		pBoneCombBuffer;
	D3DXMATRIX**		ppBoneMatrices;
	D3DXMATRIX**		ppBoneOffsetMatrices;
	DWORD			NumMatrixPalettes;
	bool			UseSoftwareVP;
};

當(dāng)加載原網(wǎng)格模型并由此生成一個蒙皮網(wǎng)格時，會用D3DXMESHCONTAINER::MeshData::pMesh存儲所生成的蒙皮網(wǎng)格模型，這時需要將初始網(wǎng)格模型保存下來，這就是pOrgMesh的作用。變量MaxBonesInflPerVertex表示每個頂點最多受多少骨骼的影響，指針變量pBoneCombBuffer指向骨骼結(jié)合表，骨骼結(jié)合表中的數(shù)據(jù)按屬性組結(jié)構(gòu)體D3DXBONECOMBINATION組織起來，該結(jié)構(gòu)體定義如下：

Describes a subset of the mesh that has the same attribute and bone combination.

typedef struct D3DXBONECOMBINATION {
    DWORD AttribId;
    DWORD FaceStart;
    DWORD FaceCount;
    DWORD VertexStart;
    DWORD VertexCount;
    DWORD * BoneId;
} D3DXBONECOMBINATION, *LPD3DXBONECOMBINATION;

Members

AttribId

Attribute table identifier.

FaceStart

Starting face.

FaceCount

Face count.

VertexStart

Starting vertex.

VertexCount

Vertex count.

BoneId

Pointer to an array of values that identify each of the bones that can be drawn in a single drawing call. Note that the array can be of variable length to accommodate variable length bone combinations of ID3DXSkinInfo::ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh.

The size of the array varies based on the type of mesh generated. A non-indexed mesh array size is equal to the number of weights per vertex (pMaxVertexInfl in ID3DXSkinInfo::ConvertToBlendedMesh). An indexed mesh array size is equal to the number of bone matrix palette entries (paletteSize in ID3DXSkinInfo::ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh).

Remarks

The subset of the mesh described by D3DXBONECOMBINATION can be rendered in a single drawing call.

結(jié)構(gòu)體D3DXBONECOMBINATION用來描述網(wǎng)格中具有同樣屬性的部分，也就是網(wǎng)格模型的一個子集，這個網(wǎng)格模型子集也稱為屬性組。屬性組實際上是用來標(biāo)識網(wǎng)格模型中被指定的骨骼矩陣所影響的子網(wǎng)格，不同屬性組所標(biāo)識的子網(wǎng)格需要用不同的紋理、材質(zhì)進(jìn)行渲染，該子網(wǎng)格可以通過調(diào)用函數(shù)DrawIndexedPrimitive()或者DrawSubset()進(jìn)行繪制。

成員變量BoneId指向一個數(shù)組，該數(shù)組表示的是在單獨的一次繪制中，即一次DrawSubset()函數(shù)調(diào)用中所用到的全部骨骼矩陣，該數(shù)組的大小與將要生成的蒙皮網(wǎng)格類型有關(guān)，在索引頂點混合蒙皮網(wǎng)格中，它的大小等于函數(shù)ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh()中的輸入?yún)?shù)paletteSize，也就是結(jié)構(gòu)體D3DXMESHCONTAINER_DERIVEED的成員變量NumMatrixPalettes。變量NumMatrixPalettes表示進(jìn)行索引頂點混合時所需要的矩陣調(diào)色板的容量，它的數(shù)值需要根據(jù)硬件設(shè)備能力進(jìn)行相應(yīng)的設(shè)置。

 

cAllocateHierarchy類的設(shè)計實現(xiàn)

蒙皮骨骼動畫網(wǎng)格模型接口中cAllocateHierarchy類和骨骼動畫網(wǎng)格模型接口中的cAllocateHierarchy類基本相同，區(qū)別較大的是CreateMeshContainer()函數(shù)中增加了對蒙皮信息的處理：

// generate skin mesh
if(skin_info != NULL)
{
	new_mesh_container->pSkinInfo = skin_info;
	skin_info->AddRef();

	new_mesh_container->pOrgMesh = mesh_ptr;
	mesh_ptr->AddRef();

	UINT num_bones = skin_info->GetNumBones();
	new_mesh_container->ppBoneOffsetMatrices = new D3DXMATRIX*[num_bones];

	if(new_mesh_container->ppBoneOffsetMatrices == NULL)
	{
		DestroyMeshContainer(new_mesh_container);
		return E_OUTOFMEMORY;
	}

	for(UINT i = 0; i < num_bones; i++)
		new_mesh_container->ppBoneOffsetMatrices[i] = new_mesh_container->pSkinInfo->GetBoneOffsetMatrix(i);

	hr = GenerateSkinnedMesh(new_mesh_container);

	if(FAILED(hr))
	{
		DestroyMeshContainer(new_mesh_container);
		return hr;
	}
}

CreateMeshContainer()函數(shù)中處理蒙皮信息的關(guān)鍵是調(diào)用自定義函數(shù)GenerateSkinnedMesh()來生成蒙皮網(wǎng)格模型，其定義如下：

 

函數(shù)GenerateSkinnedMesh()判斷當(dāng)前網(wǎng)格容器是否包含蒙皮信息，如果當(dāng)前網(wǎng)格模型中不包含蒙皮信息，則直接退出該函數(shù)。接下來確定所需要的矩陣調(diào)色板的容量，最后調(diào)用函數(shù)ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh()根據(jù)初始網(wǎng)格模型提供的相應(yīng)參數(shù)生成索引蒙皮網(wǎng)格模型。函數(shù)ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh()的聲明如下：

Takes a mesh and returns a new mesh with per-vertex blend weights, indices, and a bone combination table. The table describes which bone palettes affect which subsets of the mesh.

HRESULT ConvertToIndexedBlendedMesh(
  LPD3DXMESH pMesh,
  DWORD Options,
  DWORD paletteSize,
  CONST DWORD * pAdjacencyIn,
  LPDWORD pAdjacencyOut,
  DWORD * pFaceRemap,
  LPD3DXBUFFER * ppVertexRemap,
  DWORD * pMaxVertexInfl,
  DWORD * pNumBoneCombinations,
  LPD3DXBUFFER * ppBoneCombinationTable,
  LPD3DXMESH * ppMesh
);

Parameters

pMesh

[in] The input mesh.

Options

[in] Currently unused.

paletteSize

[in] Number of bone matrices available for matrix palette skinning.

pAdjacencyIn

[in] Input mesh adjacency information.

pAdjacencyOut

[in] Output mesh adjacency information.

pFaceRemap

[out] An array of DWORDs, one per face, that identifies the original mesh face that corresponds to each face in the blended mesh. If the value supplied for this argument is NULL, face remap data is not returned.

ppVertexRemap

[out] Address of a pointer to an ID3DXBuffer interface, which contains a DWORD for each vertex that specifies how the new vertices map to the old vertices. This remap is useful if you need to alter external data based on the new vertex mapping. This parameter is optional; NULL may be used.

pMaxVertexInfl

[out] Pointer to a DWORD that will contain the maximum number of bone influences required per vertex for this skinning method.

pNumBoneCombinations

[out] Pointer to the number of bones in the bone combination table.

ppBoneCombinationTable

[out] Pointer to the bone combination table. The data is organized in a D3DXBONECOMBINATION structure.

ppMesh

[out] Pointer to the new mesh.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK. If the method fails, the return value can be D3DERR_INVALIDCALL.

Remarks

Each element in the remap arrays specifies the previous index for that position. For example, if a vertex was in position 3 but has been remapped to position 5, then the fifth element of pVertexRemap will contain 3.

This method does not run on hardware that does not support fixed-function vertex blending.
