simple meshVoxel copy

[STEFAN_HAEHNLEIN]

Hi,

I do have the following question:

i have a meshvoxel v1 loaded from a .abc file. Now I need a simple copy v2 of this v1 in RAM where I can modify things like vertices later (but don't touch the original v1)

in the vraymeshgeom sample provided I found the code to copy channel by channel and vertex by vertex and face by face from my original meshvoxel to the modified meshvoxel - this is my current working implementation.

But probably I could get a good speed improvement when I could simply copy the original data as a stream or something.

I tried the copy constructor the following way, but it does not work (voxel2 seems to have no data)...


VUtils::MeshFile2 *pMesh1 = VUtils::newDefaultMeshFile2("E:\\001.ABC");

int res = pMesh1->init("E:\\001_plg.ABC");

pMesh1->setFramesPerSecond(25.0);

VUtils::MeshVoxel *v1 = (pMesh1->getVoxel(1));

VUtils::MeshVoxel v2 = VUtils::MeshVoxel(*v1);


i use max 2015 with vray2.5.01

thanks for the support in advance!

regards
Stefan

What you are doing now is the correct approach, although you can use memcpy() to copy the data for a channel, there is no need to do it element by element.
