Skipped: hidden subtrees, animation, * particles, lights and cameras; skinned geometry is drawn in its bind pose. Blocks are skipped by their stored sizes, * so a block this reader doesn't know never breaks the rest of the file. */ namespace NifFile { struct Material { std::array diffuse{ 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f }; // sRGB 0..1 std::array emissive{ 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f }; float alpha{ 1.0f }; bool alphaBlend{}; bool alphaTest{}; uint8_t alphaThreshold{ 128 }; bool doubleSided{}; // NiVertexColorProperty's source vertex mode: 0 ignore vertex colors, 1 they're emissive, 2 they're ambient and diffuse uint8_t vertexColorMode{ 2 }; std::string texture; // the base texture's file name as stored (often relative to the .nif's folder) int32_t embeddedTexture{ -1 }; // else the block with the texture's pixels in the file (EmbeddedTexture) bool clampU{}; bool clampV{}; }; struct Mesh { Material material; std::vector positions; // x, y, z per vertex, in the model's space std::vector normals; // empty when the geometry has none std::vector uvs; // u, v per vertex, empty when none std::vector colors; // r, g, b, a per vertex (sRGB), empty when none std::vector indices; // triangles }; struct Model { uint32_t version{}; std::vector meshes; std::array min{}; std::array max{}; std::map skipped; // block types in the file that aren't drawn, with how many uint32_t skinned{}; // meshes drawn in their bind pose }; /** * The meshes of a .nif. `lod` picks among an NiLODNode's children: 0 the most detailed (the nearest range), higher * numbers coarser ones, clamped to what the node has. nullopt and `error` set when the file can't be read at all. */ std::optional Parse(std::string_view data, uint32_t lod, std::string& error); /** * A model for the browser: a little-endian uint32 with the length of a JSON header, the header (padded with spaces * to a multiple of 4), then the binary data it describes.
