Shape
Overview
Shape is a class in Aspose.3D FOSS for .NET.
Inherits from: Geometry, INamedObject.
The shape describes the deformation on a set of control points, which is similar to the cluster deformer in Maya. For example, we can add a shape to a created geometry. And the shape and the geometry have the same topological information but different position of the control points. With varying amounts of influence, the geometry performs a deformation effect.
This class provides 18 methods for working with Shape objects in .NET programs.
Available methods include: A3DObject, AddElement, CreateElement, CreateElementUV, Entity, FindProperty, FromControlPoints, Geometry, GetBoundingBox, GetDeformers, GetElement, GetEntityRendererKey, and 6 additional methods.
All public members are accessible to any .NET application after installing the Aspose.3D FOSS for .NET package.
Properties: CastShadows, ControlPoints, Deformers, Excluded, Indices, Name, and 7 more.
