Simplification Options

[mattpow35]

What is the correct way to change the simplification options in code?? does anyone have any examples they could share that would be much appreciated.

The SimplificationOptions is a struct that can be changed through the SimplificationOptions property of the MeshSimplifier class (see list of properties here). Or you can use them as an input for the LOD Generator API.

You can create the struct very easily, with your desired properties like this:

var simplificationOptions = new SimplificationOptions
{
    PreserveBorderEdges = false,
    PreserveUVSeamEdges = false,
    PreserveUVFoldoverEdges = false,
    PreserveSurfaceCurvature = false,
    EnableSmartLink = true,
    VertexLinkDistance = double.Epsilon,
    MaxIterationCount = 100,
    Agressiveness = 7.0,
    ManualUVComponentCount = false,
    UVComponentCount = 2
};

var meshSimplifier = new MeshSimplifier();
meshSimplifier.SimplificationOptions = simplificationOptions;
meshSimplifier.Initialize(mesh);
meshSimplifier.SimplifyMesh(quality);

Or you can start with the default options and make modifications:

var simplificationOptions = SimplificationOptions.Default;
simplificationOptions.EnableSmartLink = false;

Is this what you had in mind?

Please see the very fresh documentation on the wiki as well, which could hopefully clear up a few things.

Yes! This is what I was looking for thank you!

I changed the original PreserveBorderEdges setting to true so that my model preserves the boundaries while simplifying the grid, or does the default false include this feature, but I have a lot of holes by default
