Constructor Detail

Armature

protected Armature()

Serialization only

Armature

public Armature(Joint[] jointList)

Creates an armature from a joint list. The root joints are found automatically.

Note that using this constructor will cause the joints in the list to have their bind pose recomputed based on their local transforms.

Parameters:

jointList - The list of joints to manage by this Armature

Method Detail

update

public void update()

Update all joints in this Armature.

setModelTransformClass

public void setModelTransformClass(java.lang.Class<? extends JointModelTransform> modelTransformClass)

Sets the JointModelTransform implementation Default is MatrixJointModelTransform

Parameters:

modelTransformClass -

See Also:

JointModelTransform, MatrixJointModelTransform, SeparateJointModelTransform

getRoots

public Joint[] getRoots()

returns the array of all root joints of this Armature

Returns:

the pre-existing array

getJointList

public java.util.List<Joint> getJointList()

getJoint

public Joint getJoint(int index)

return a joint for the given index

Parameters:

index -

Returns:

the pre-existing instance

getJoint

public Joint getJoint(java.lang.String name)

returns the joint with the given name

Parameters:

name -

Returns:

the pre-existing instance or null if not found

getJointIndex

public int getJointIndex(Joint joint)

returns the bone index of the given bone

Parameters:

joint -

Returns:

the index (≥0) or -1 if not found

getJointIndex

public int getJointIndex(java.lang.String name)

returns the joint index of the joint that has the given name

Parameters:

name -

Returns:

the index (≥0) or -1 if not found

saveBindPose

public void saveBindPose()

Saves the current Armature state as its bind pose. Note that the bind pose is supposed to be the one where the armature is aligned with the mesh to deform. Saving this pose will affect how skinning works.

applyBindPose

public void applyBindPose()

This methods sets this armature in its bind pose (aligned with the mesh to deform) Note that this is only useful for debugging purpose.

saveInitialPose

public void saveInitialPose()

Saves the current local transform as the initial transform. Initial transform is the one applied to the armature when loaded.

applyInitialPose

public void applyInitialPose()

Applies the initial pose to this armature

computeSkinningMatrices

public Matrix4f[] computeSkinningMatrices()

Compute the skinning matrices for each bone of the armature that would be used to transform vertices of associated meshes

Returns:

the pre-existing array

getJointCount

public int getJointCount()

returns the number of joints of this armature

Returns:

the count (≥0)

jmeClone

public java.lang.Object jmeClone()

Description copied from interface: JmeCloneable

Performs a regular shallow clone of the object. Some fields may also be cloned but generally only if they will never be shared with other objects. (For example, local Vector3fs and so on.)

This method is separate from the regular clone() method so that objects might still maintain their own regular java clone() semantics (perhaps even using Cloner for those methods). However, because Java's clone() has specific features in the sense of Object's clone() implementation, it's usually best to have some path for subclasses to bypass the public clone() method that might be cloning fields and instead get at the superclass protected clone() methods. For example, through super.jmeClone() or another protected clone method that some base class eventually calls super.clone() in.

Specified by:

jmeClone in interface JmeCloneable

cloneFields

public void cloneFields(Cloner cloner,
                        java.lang.Object original)

Description copied from interface: JmeCloneable

Implemented to perform deep cloning for this object, resolving local cloned references using the specified cloner. The object can call cloner.clone(fieldValue) to deep clone any of its fields.

Note: during normal clone operations the original object will not be needed as the clone has already had all of the fields shallow copied.

Specified by:

cloneFields in interface JmeCloneable

Parameters:

cloner - The cloner that is performing the cloning operation. The cloneFields method can call back into the cloner to make clones of its subordinate fields.

original - The original object from which this object was cloned. This is provided for the very rare case that this object needs to refer to its original for some reason. In general, all of the relevant values should have been transferred during the shallow clone and this object need merely clone what it wants.
