MeshContent

Used to define any 3D models used by Armok Vision.

Textures can be defined per-mesh, in which case, any other outside definition is ignored, with the exception of pattern and specular maps, which are only applied on parts of the mesh labled as NoMaterial, and similar variants.

#Valid Attributes:

Attribute	Description	Valid Values
file	Relative path to an OBJ file to use for the mesh.	Any OBJ file
normal	See NormalContent	Any PNG or JPG file.
occlusion	See NormalContent	Any PNG or JPG file.
alpha	See NormalContent	Any PNG or JPG file.
metallic	Relative path to a Metallic Map to use for this mesh.	Any PNG or JPG file.
illumination	Relative path to a Self-Illumination Map to use for this mesh.	Any PNG or JPG file.
pattern	See TextureContent	Any PNG or JPG file.
specular	See TextureContent	Any PNG or JPG file.
rotation	Defines how, if at all, the tile should be rotated around its own center.	See Below

#OBJ File requirements Meshes need to fill a 2x2x3 box, with the origin of the file at bottom-center.

The mesh needs to be split up into different objects depending on which part of the mesh should get which material. For example, a mesh for an ore tile could use one material for the ore, while the rest of the tile would get the material of the surrounding layer stone.

#Shaders There are three shaders that tile meshes can use, Opaque, Stencil, and Semitransparent.

##Opaque This is the default shader for everything. It does not support the alpha channel. Unless otherwise needed, everything should use this shader.

##Stencil This is for objects like grates, and foliage, which need transparency with sharp edges, and don't need anything to be partially transparent.

##Semitransparent This is for materials like glass and gems, which need to be partially transparent. This shader does not cast any shadows, making it good for windows.

#Rotation Tiles can be rotated around their own center, according to the surrounding tiles. These are the possible values:

Rotation Type	Usage
None	No rotation is applied.
AwayFromWall	The model is rotated to face away from any adjacent walls, in 45 degree steps.
Door	The model is rotated to align itself between surrounding walls. Mainly for doors.
BuildingDirection	Some buildings, such as drawbridges, and mechanics, can be built rotated in the game. Use this to have the model respect that.
Random	The model is randomly rotated around the vertical axis.
Random90	The model is randomly rotated around the vertical axis in 90 degree steps.
TreeFlat	The model is rotated horizontally to face outwards from the center of the tree.
TreeRound	The model is rotated to face away from the tree base.
TreeRoundTall	The model is rotated to face away from the tree base, but adjusted to look better on taller trees.
