Class ModelNode

Class for drawing Mesh objects.

(Inherited from menori.Node class) ModelNode is a specialized node that renders 3D mesh geometry with materials. It handles transformation matrices, skeletal animation joints, and material properties.

Node

Fields

modelnode.material	Own copy of the Material that is bound to the model.
modelnode.mesh	The menori.Mesh object that is bound to the model.

Methods

modelnode:init (mesh[, material=Material.default])	The public constructor.
modelnode:clone ()	Clone the ModelNode object.
modelnode:calculate_aabb ()	Calculate axis-aligned bounding box (AABB) with current transformations applied.
modelnode:render (scene, environment)	Draw a ModelNode object.

Fields

modelnode.material

Own copy of the Material that is bound to the model. This is a cloned copy of the material passed to the constructor, allowing independent modification without affecting the original material.

• material menori.Material

modelnode.mesh

The menori.Mesh object that is bound to the model.

• mesh menori.Mesh

Methods

modelnode:init (mesh[, material=Material.default])

The public constructor.

Parameters:

• mesh menori.Mesh The mesh object to render
• material menori.Material The material object (a new copy will be created) (default Material.default)

Usage:

-- Create a ModelNode with a mesh and default material
local model = ModelNode(mesh)

-- Create a ModelNode with a custom material
local material = menori.Material()
local model = ModelNode(mesh, material)

modelnode:clone ()

Clone the ModelNode object. Creates a copy of the ModelNode with the same mesh and a cloned material.

Returns:

menori.ModelNode A new cloned ModelNode object

modelnode:calculate_aabb ()

Calculate axis-aligned bounding box (AABB) with current transformations applied. Computes the world-space bounding box by transforming the mesh's local bounds using the current world transformation matrix.

Returns:

bound3 The transformed bounding box in world coordinates

modelnode:render (scene, environment)

Draw a ModelNode object. This function renders the model using the current material and handles skeletal animation if joints are present. It's called implicitly in the hierarchy when a node is drawn with scene:render_nodes()

Parameters:

• scene menori.Scene The scene object used for rendering context
• environment menori.Environment The environment object providing lighting and other rendering parameters

Usage:

-- This is typically called automatically by the scene
scene:render_nodes()

-- Or manually for custom rendering
model_node:render(scene, environment)
