Interface Model

All Known Implementing Classes:
BlockModel, ModelPart
public interface Model
A model that can be rendered by flywheel.

It is expected that the following assertion will not fail: 


 Model model = ...;
 VecBuffer into = ...;

 int initial = VecBuffer.unwrap().position();

 model.buffer(into);

 int final = VecBuffer.unwrap().position();

 assert model.size() == final - initial;

  • Method Details

    • name

      String name()
      A name uniquely identifying this model.

    • getReader

      VertexList getReader()

    • vertexCount

      int vertexCount()
      Returns:
      The number of vertices the model has.

    • getType

      VertexType getType()

    • createEBO

      default ElementBuffer createEBO()
      Create an element buffer object that indexes the vertices of this model.

      Very often models in minecraft are made up of sequential quads, which is a very predictable pattern. The default implementation accommodates this, however this can be overridden to change the behavior and support more complex models.

      Returns:
      an element buffer object indexing this model's vertices.

    • delete

      void delete()

    • size

      default int size()
      The size in bytes that this model's data takes up.

    • empty

      default boolean empty()
      Is there nothing to render?
      Returns:
      true if there are no vertices.

    • writeInto

      default void writeInto(ByteBuffer buffer)
