Model Extensions

Extension methods for ModelComponent, in the Stride.CommunityToolkit.Engine namespace.

Measuring a model

Useful when you are placing procedurally created entities and do not know their size up front.

• GetMeshHWL() - Returns the height, width and length of the model as a Vector3, from its bounding box.
• GetMeshHeight() - Just the height, for the common case of standing something on the ground.
• GetMeshVerticesAndIndices() - Reads the raw vertex and index data back out of the mesh, for building a collider or doing your own geometry work.

Material parameters

• SetMaterialParameter() - Sets a shader parameter on one of the component's materials, without going through RenderGroup plumbing yourself. Overloads cover value, object and permutation parameters, keys and accessors, single values and arrays, with optional materialIndex and passIndex.
