Detailed Description

Procedural mesh generators — no file I/O, no asset manager needed.

All methods return a heap-allocated kMesh with vertex data already uploaded to the GPU (generateVbo() has been called). The caller is responsible for adding the mesh to a scene and assigning a material.

Member Function Documentation

generateCapsule()

kMesh * kemena::kMeshGenerator::generateCapsule ( float radius = 1.0f, float height = 2.0f, int slices = 36, int hemiStacks = 8 )

static

Generate a capsule: a cylinder closed with hemispherical caps.

The total height of the resulting mesh is height + 2*radius.

Parameters

radius	Radius of the cylindrical body and hemispherical caps.
height	Height of the straight cylindrical section (excluding caps).
slices	Number of radial subdivisions around the circumference.
hemiStacks	Number of stacks per hemispherical cap.

Returns

Heap-allocated, GPU-uploaded kMesh; caller takes ownership.

generateCube()

kMesh * kemena::kMeshGenerator::generateCube ( float size = 2.0f )

static

Generate an axis-aligned cube centred at the origin.

Parameters

size	Edge length of the cube along each axis.

Returns

Heap-allocated, GPU-uploaded kMesh; caller takes ownership.

generateCylinder()

kMesh * kemena::kMeshGenerator::generateCylinder ( float radius = 1.0f, float height = 2.0f, int slices = 36 )

static

Generate an upright cylinder with flat top and bottom caps.

Parameters

radius	Radius of the cylinder.
height	Height of the cylindrical body along the Y axis.
slices	Number of radial subdivisions around the circumference.

Returns

Heap-allocated, GPU-uploaded kMesh; caller takes ownership.

generatePlane()

kMesh * kemena::kMeshGenerator::generatePlane ( float size = 2.0f )

static

Generate a flat quad in the XZ plane, facing +Y.

Parameters

size	Edge length of the quad along both X and Z (defaults to a 2×2 quad).

Returns

Heap-allocated, GPU-uploaded kMesh; caller takes ownership.

generateSphere()

kMesh * kemena::kMeshGenerator::generateSphere ( float radius = 1.0f, int stacks = 18, int slices = 36 )

static

Generate a UV sphere centred at the origin.

Parameters

radius	Sphere radius.
stacks	Number of horizontal subdivisions (latitude bands).
slices	Number of vertical subdivisions (longitude segments).

Returns

Heap-allocated, GPU-uploaded kMesh; caller takes ownership.
