Component:IcoSphereMesh

The Vertex count on the mesh generated by this component increases exponentially with respect to the value in Subdivisions — Please use caution when using larger values

Introduction

The IcoSphereMesh component procedurally generates a icosahedron mesh for use with a MeshRenderer, according to the parameters provided.

Usage

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
HighPriorityIntegration	Bool	If true, integrating this asset (e.g. processing procedural assets) gets higher priority than assets with this flag off. An example is user laser procedural meshes.
OverrideBoundingBox	Bool
OverridenBoundingBox	BoundingBox
Profile	ColorProfile
Radius	Float	Radius of the IcoSphere
Subdivisions	Int	Number of IcoSphere subdivisions — Values are clamped in the range [0,8]
FlatShading	Bool	Use flat/faceted shading instead of smooth shading.
FlatFaceExtrude	Float	Distance to extrude faces after being generated. Creates an "Exploded" appearance
FlatFaceScale	Float	Scale of individual faces, relative to their base size.

Sync Delegates

Triggers

Method Name	Method type and Arguments.	Description
BakeMesh()	Action	Bake meshes is a sync method that creates a static mesh component with this component, replaces all references to this component with the static mesh component, then deletes this component.

Behavior

The vertex count on a generated IcoSphereMesh is 20×4ⁿ, where n is Subdivisions — this may result in extremely large vertex counts for seemingly small values of Subdivisions — Please use caution!

As of Version 2020.10.25.1103, this value is clamped in the range [0,8] to prevent accidentally creating a mesh with an excessive number of vertices.
