Component:BentTubeMesh

Component image 

Bent Tube Mesh component as seen in the Scene Inspector

Bent tube mesh is a component that makes a tube structure.

When calculating the curve, the generator uses a quadratic bezier curve formula. StartPoint being P0, DirectTargetPoint being P1, and ActualTargetPoint being P2.

Fields

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	Force the bounding box calculated from this component to use OverridenBoundingBox instead of calculating when requested.
OverridenBoundingBox	BoundingBox	the bounding box this component should say it has when OverrideBoundingBox is enabled. Useful for bounding box calculations with Flux, or changing the selection box for this component when rendered.
Profile	ColorProfile	The profile that the vertex colors for this mesh should be displayed in.
Radius	Float	The radius of the tube (from center to outside).
Sides	Int	How many sides the tube should have around it
Segments	Int	how many bends from end to end the tube should have
StartPoint	Float3	Where the tube should start at in local space. Also known as P0 on a quadratic bezier curve.
DirectTargetPoint	Float3	P1 on the quadratic bezier curve in local space.
ActualTargetPoint	Float3	P2 on the quadratic bezier curve in local space.
StartPointColor	ColorX	What the color of the tube should be at the start if using a material that supports vertex colors.
EndPointColor	ColorX	What the color of the tube should be at the end if using a material that supports vertex colors.
Ends	Ends	How to handle the geometry of the ends of the tube.
Shading	Shading	Toggle this mesh being smooth shaded
