missing implementation Ogre::Mesh::clearBoneAssignments

[bishopnator]

The mentioned member method is declared, but not implemented. I am trying to clear the skeleton animations from the loaded mesh, but get the linker error, when I called the function.

However it seems that clearing existing skeleton is not so direct as I thought - it is necessary to set empty skeleton name, clear bone assignments and call SubMesh::_buildBoneIndexMap. It think it would be a good idea to pack everything together - e.g. when set empty name of the skeleton.

Note that I never needed to work with skeletal animations so I have zero experience here about the restrictions / possibilities and why there is no such method implemented.

Something like this is working for me:

Code: Select all

        for (uint32_t k = 0; k < pMesh->getNumSubMeshes(); ++k)
        {
            pMesh->getSubMesh(k)->clearBoneAssignments();
            pMesh->getSubMesh(k)->_compileBoneAssignments();
            pMesh->getSubMesh(k)->_buildBoneIndexMap();
        }

Yeah that looks like a bug (unimplemented function).

But I have a question though:

I am trying to clear the skeleton animations from the loaded mesh

This is a bit ambiguous phrasing. What you're trying to do is basically to get rid of the Skeleton from the Mesh entirely? (i.e. as if the Mesh never had a Skeleton in the first place).

yes, exactly that I am trying to achieve.
