Direct Known Subclasses:

SubdivisionSurfaceModifier, TriangulateModifier

public abstract class Modifier
extends java.lang.Object

This class represents an object's modifier. The modifier object can be varied and the user needs to know what is the type of it for the specified type name. For example "ArmatureModifierData" type specified in blender is represented by AnimData object from jMonkeyEngine.

invalid

protected boolean invalid

This variable indicates if the modifier is invalid (true) or not (false).

modifying

protected boolean modifying

A variable that tells if the modifier causes modification. Some modifiers like ArmatureModifier might have no Armature object attached and thus not really modifying the feature. In such cases it is good to know if it is sense to add the modifier to the list of object's modifiers.

Method Detail

apply

public abstract void apply(Node node,
                           BlenderContext blenderContext)

This method applies the modifier to the given node.

Parameters:

node - the node that will have modifier applied

blenderContext - the blender context

postMeshCreationApply

public void postMeshCreationApply(Node node,
                                  BlenderContext blenderContext)

The method that is called when geometries are already created.

Parameters:

node - the node that will have the modifier applied

blenderContext - the blender context

canBeAppliedMultipleTimes

public static boolean canBeAppliedMultipleTimes(java.lang.String modifierType)

Determines if the modifier can be applied multiple times over one mesh. At this moment only armature and object animation modifiers cannot be applied multiple times.

Parameters:

modifierType - the type name of the modifier

Returns:

true if the modifier can be applied many times and false otherwise

validate

protected boolean validate(Structure modifierStructure,
                           BlenderContext blenderContext)

isModifying

public boolean isModifying()

Returns:

true if the modifier causes feature's modification or false if not

getTemporalMesh

protected TemporalMesh getTemporalMesh(Node node)
