IEncode3DProperties Interface

Provides access to members that encode and decode normals and 2D texture coordinates into a single double value.

Members

	Name	Description
	PackNormal	Encodes a normal into part of a double. A normal and texture information can both be packed in a single double without conflict.
	PackTexture2D	Encodes texture coordinates into part of a double. A normal and texture information can both be packed in a single double without conflict.
	UnPackNormal	Decodes a normal from a double.
	UnPackTexture2D	Decodes texture coordinates.

IEncode3DProperties.PackNormal Method

Encodes a normal into part of a double. A normal and texture information can both be packed in a single double without conflict.

Public Sub PackNormal ( _
    ByVal normalVector As IVector3D, _
    ByRef packedNormal As Double _
)

public void PackNormal (
    IVector3D normalVector,
    ref double packedNormal
);

IEncode3DProperties.PackTexture2D Method

Encodes texture coordinates into part of a double. A normal and texture information can both be packed in a single double without conflict.

Public Sub PackTexture2D ( _
    ByVal textureS As Double, _
    ByVal textureT As Double, _
    ByRef packedTexture As Double _
)

public void PackTexture2D (
    double textureS,
    double textureT,
    ref double packedTexture
);

IEncode3DProperties.UnPackNormal Method

Decodes a normal from a double.

Public Sub UnPackNormal ( _
    ByVal packedNormal As Double, _
    ByVal normalVector As IVector3D, _
    ByRef wasProductive As Boolean _
)

public void UnPackNormal (
    double packedNormal,
    IVector3D normalVector,
    ref bool wasProductive
);

IEncode3DProperties.UnPackTexture2D Method

Decodes texture coordinates.

Public Sub UnPackTexture2D ( _
    ByVal packedTextureST As Double, _
    ByRef textureS As Double, _
    ByRef textureT As Double, _
    ByRef wasProductive As Boolean _
)

public void UnPackTexture2D (
    double packedTextureST,
    ref double textureS,
    ref double textureT,
    ref bool wasProductive
);
