Description
-----------

Mesh is a type of :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` that contains vertex-array based geometry, divided in *surfaces*. Each surface contains a completely separate array and a material used to draw it. Design wise, a mesh with multiple surfaces is preferred to a single surface, because objects created in 3D editing software commonly contain multiple materials.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_Mesh_method_create_convex_shape:

- :ref:`Shape<class_Shape>` **create_convex_shape** **(** **)** const

Calculate a :ref:`ConvexPolygonShape<class_ConvexPolygonShape>` from the mesh.

----

.. _class_Mesh_method_create_outline:

- :ref:`Mesh<class_Mesh>` **create_outline** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` margin **)** const

Calculate an outline mesh at a defined offset (margin) from the original mesh. Note: Typically returns the vertices in reverse order (e.g. clockwise to anti-clockwise).

----

.. _class_Mesh_method_create_trimesh_shape:

- :ref:`Shape<class_Shape>` **create_trimesh_shape** **(** **)** const

Calculate a :ref:`ConcavePolygonShape<class_ConcavePolygonShape>` from the mesh.

Generate a :ref:`TriangleMesh<class_TriangleMesh>` from the mesh.

----

.. _class_Mesh_method_get_faces:

- :ref:`PoolVector3Array<class_PoolVector3Array>` **get_faces** **(** **)** const

Returns all the vertices that make up the faces of the mesh. Each three vertices represent one triangle.

----

.. _class_Mesh_method_get_surface_count:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_surface_count** **(** **)** const

Returns the amount of surfaces that the ``Mesh`` holds.

----

.. _class_Mesh_method_surface_get_arrays:

- :ref:`Array<class_Array>` **surface_get_arrays** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` surf_idx **)** const

Returns the arrays for the vertices, normals, uvs, etc. that make up the requested surface (see :ref:`ArrayMesh.add_surface_from_arrays<class_ArrayMesh_method_add_surface_from_arrays>`).

----

.. _class_Mesh_method_surface_get_blend_shape_arrays:

- :ref:`Array<class_Array>` **surface_get_blend_shape_arrays** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` surf_idx **)** const

Returns the blend shape arrays for the requested surface.

----

.. _class_Mesh_method_surface_get_material:

- :ref:`Material<class_Material>` **surface_get_material** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` surf_idx **)** const

Returns a :ref:`Material<class_Material>` in a given surface. Surface is rendered using this material.
