    Why Do We Loop Through BasicEffects in Mesh?

    Reply Quote

    When we use the following code, why do we loop through the effects in the mesh. I don't really need to know this but I feel like learning a bit more. If you can help, I'm all two ears. Thanks☺

     

    foreach (ModelMesh mesh in myModel.Meshes)
    {    
        foreach (BasicEffect effect in mesh.Effects)    
        {        
            //Draw code    
        }    
        mesh.Draw();
    }

    There could be several effects used on different parts of a single mesh. For instance one part of it might use a different texture to another, or have different lighting settings. You need the loop in order to make sure that all of these effects are correctly set up before you draw the geometry.

    Ok, thanks. I probably weigh about .002 more pounds more because I am smarter.
