Struct MeshBuffer 

pub struct MeshBuffer {
    pub metadata_buffer: TypedBuffer<MeshMetadata>,
    pub base_buffer: AttributeBuffer<BaseMesh>,
    pub skinned_buffer: AttributeBuffer<SkinnedMesh>,
    pub index_buffer: AttributeBuffer<u32>,
    /* private fields */
}

Gpu mesh buffer which holds all meshes in an Elements application.

A GpuMesh in the application just keeps an index into the metadata_buffer, and from there the shaders can look up exactly where to read position, normal etc. The “id“s (GpuMesh.index) are recycled, so even when a mesh is dropped and removed from the application, all current GpuMesh.index’s are still valid (and the content of the metadata is just updated at the index).

Fields

metadata_buffer: TypedBuffer<MeshMetadata>

base_buffer: AttributeBuffer<BaseMesh>

skinned_buffer: AttributeBuffer<SkinnedMesh>

index_buffer: AttributeBuffer<u32>
