Detailed Description

Utility class to find mesh triangles touched by a specified geometry object.

This class is a helper calling PxMeshQuery::findOverlapTriangleMesh or PxMeshQuery::findOverlapHeightField under the hood, while taking care of necessary memory management issues.

PxMeshQuery::findOverlapTriangleMesh and PxMeshQuery::findOverlapHeightField are the "raw" functions operating on user-provided fixed-size buffers. These functions abort with an error code in case of buffer overflow. PxMeshOverlapUtil is a convenient helper function checking this error code, and resizing buffers appropriately, until the desired call succeeds.

Returned triangle indices are stored within the class, and can be used with PxMeshQuery::getTriangle() to retrieve the triangle properties.

Member Function Documentation

◆ findOverlap() [1/2]

PxU32 PxMeshOverlapUtil::findOverlap	(	const PxGeometry &	geom,
		const PxTransform &	geomPose,
		const PxHeightFieldGeometry &	hfGeom,
		const PxTransform &	hfPose
	)

Find the height field triangles which touch the specified geometry object.

Parameters

[in]	geom	The geometry object to test for height field overlaps. Supported geometries are #PxSphereGeometry, #PxCapsuleGeometry and #PxBoxGeometry. The sphere and capsule queries are currently conservative estimates.
[in]	geomPose	Pose of the geometry object
[in]	hfGeom	The height field geometry to check overlap against
[in]	hfPose	Pose of the height field

Returns: Number of overlaps found. Triangle indices can then be accessed through the getResults() function.

PxU32 PxMeshOverlapUtil::findOverlap	(	const PxGeometry &	geom,
		const PxTransform &	geomPose,
		const PxTriangleMeshGeometry &	meshGeom,
		const PxTransform &	meshPose
	)

Find the mesh triangles which touch the specified geometry object.

Parameters

[in]	geom	The geometry object to test for mesh triangle overlaps. Supported geometries are #PxSphereGeometry, #PxCapsuleGeometry and #PxBoxGeometry
[in]	geomPose	Pose of the geometry object
[in]	meshGeom	The triangle mesh geometry to check overlap against
[in]	meshPose	Pose of the triangle mesh

Returns: Number of overlaps found. Triangle indices can then be accessed through the getResults() function.
