Create a Mesh Object

This example shows how to create a Mesh object.

In the following C# code example, device is assumed to be the rendering Device.

              [C#]
              

int numberVerts = 8;
short[] indices = {
    0,1,2, // Front Face 
    1,3,2, // Front Face 
    4,5,6, // Back Face 
    6,5,7, // Back Face 
    0,5,4, // Top Face 
    0,2,5, // Top Face 
    1,6,7, // Bottom Face 
    1,7,3, // Bottom Face 
    0,6,1, // Left Face 
    4,6,0, // Left Face 
    2,3,7, // Right Face 
    5,2,7 // Right Face 
};

Mesh mesh = new Mesh(numberVerts * 3, numberVerts, MeshFlags.Managed,
                     CustomVertex.PositionColored.Format, device);

using(VertexBuffer vb = mesh.VertexBuffer)
{
    GraphicsStream data = vb.Lock(0, 0, LockFlags.None);

    data.Write(new CustomVertex.PositionColored(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0x00ff00ff));
    data.Write(new CustomVertex.PositionColored(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, 0x00ff00ff));
    data.Write(new CustomVertex.PositionColored(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0x00ff00ff));
    data.Write(new CustomVertex.PositionColored(1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f, 0x00ff00ff));
    data.Write(new CustomVertex.PositionColored(-1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f, 0x00ff00ff));
    data.Write(new CustomVertex.PositionColored(1.0f, 1.0f, -1.0f, 0x00ff00ff));
    data.Write(new CustomVertex.PositionColored(-1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, 0x00ff00ff));
    data.Write(new CustomVertex.PositionColored(1.0f, -1.0f, -1.0f, 0x00ff00ff));

    vb.Unlock();
}

using (IndexBuffer ib = mesh.IndexBuffer)
{
    ib.SetData(indices, 0, LockFlags.None);
}
