class Model

Defined in: C4Models.h

The Model class is the base class for all animatable models.

Definition

class Model : public Node, public ListElement<Model>, public Registrable<Model, ModelRegistration>

Member Functions

`Model::Get`	Returns a new instances of a particular type of model.
`Model::GetModelType`	Returns the model type.
`Model::GetRootAnimator`	Returns the root animator assigned to a model.
`Model::SetRootAnimator`	Sets the root animator assigned to a model.
`Model::FindNode`	Finds a node having a specific name.
`Model::Animate`	Runs the animators assigned to a model.

Constructor

Model(ModelType type = kModelUnknown);

Parameters

type The model type.

Description

The Model class serves as the base class for all animatable model nodes. A Model instance is not normally constructed directly, but is created by calling the Model::Get function or by constructing an instance of the GenericModel class. The Model::Get function should be used to create instances of models whose type has been registered with the ModelRegistration class. A GenericModel instance should be constructed to explicitly create a model without a registered type.

Base Classes

`Node`	A `Model` node is a scene graph node.
`ListElement<Model>`	Used internally by the World Manager.
`Registrable<Model, ModelRegistration>`	Custom model types can be registered with the engine.
