Mesh2d

Mesh2d is a lightweight library for generating 2D stroke meshes in Unity. It build over Native Arrays and is compatible with Unity's Burst Compiler for improved performance.

Installation

To use iShape.Mesh2d in your Unity project, follow these steps:

• Open your Unity project.
• Ensure that your Unity version is 2022.2 or above.
• Check that you have the following packages installed (these are dependencies for iShape.Mesh2d):
  • `com.unity.mathematics` version 1.2.6 or later
  • `com.unity.collections` version 2.1.4 or later
• In the top menu, select "Window" > "Package Manager".
• Click on the "+" button in the top-left corner of the Package Manager window.
• Select "Add package from git URL...".
• Enter the following URL: https://github.com/iShapeUnity/Mesh2d.git
• Click the "Add" button.
• Wait for the package to be imported.

Usage

To use iShape.Mesh2d in your Unity project, you'll need to import the iShape.Mesh2d namespace in your scripts. Here's an example of how to use it:

using iShape.Mesh2d;
using Unity.Collections;
using Unity.Mathematics;
using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour {

    private void Start() {

        // Create a new NativeColorMesh with a capacity of 256 vertices
        var mesh = new NativeColorMesh(256, Allocator.Temp);

        // Generate a blue stroke mesh for an edge
        var edgeStyle = new StrokeStyle(0.4f);
        var edgeMesh = MeshGenerator.StrokeForEdge(new float2(3, 3), new float2(-3, 3), edgeStyle, 0, Allocator.Temp);
        mesh.AddAndDispose(edgeMesh, Color.blue);

        // Generate a magenta stroke mesh for a path
        var pathStyle = new StrokeStyle(0.5f);
        var path = new NativeList<Vector2>(4, Allocator.Temp);
        path.Add(new Vector2(-4, 3));
        path.Add(new Vector2(-4, -3));
        path.Add(new Vector2(4, -3));
        path.Add(new Vector2(4, 3));

        var floatArray = path.AsArray().Reinterpret<float2>();

        var pathMesh = MeshGenerator.StrokeByPath(floatArray, false, pathStyle, 0, Allocator.Temp);

        mesh.AddAndDispose(pathMesh, Color.magenta);

        path.Dispose();

        // Generate a green stroke mesh for a rectangle
        var rectStyle = new StrokeStyle(0.2f);
        var rectMesh = MeshGenerator.StrokeForRect(float2.zero, new float2(4, 4), rectStyle, 0, Allocator.Temp);
        mesh.AddAndDispose(rectMesh, Color.green);

        // Generate a red stroke mesh for a circle
        var circleStyle = new StrokeStyle(0.1f);
        var circleMesh = MeshGenerator.StrokeForCircle(float2.zero, 1, 32, circleStyle, 0, Allocator.Temp);
        mesh.AddAndDispose(circleMesh, Color.red);

        // Generate a yellow stroke mesh for a soft star
        var starStyle = new StrokeStyle(0.05f);
        var starMesh = MeshGenerator.StrokeForSoftStar(float2.zero, 0.4f,0.7f, 64, starStyle, 0, Allocator.Temp);
        mesh.AddAndDispose(starMesh, Color.yellow);

        // Generate a white circle mesh
        var circleShape = MeshGenerator.FillCircle(new float2(6, 0), 1.0f,32, 0, Allocator.Temp);
        mesh.AddAndDispose(circleShape, Color.white);

        // Generate a white rectangle mesh
        var rectShape = MeshGenerator.FillRect(new float2(-6, 0), new float2(2, 2),0, Allocator.Temp);
        mesh.AddAndDispose(rectShape, Color.white);

        // Set the generated mesh as the MeshFilter's mesh
        var meshFilter = this.GetComponent<MeshFilter>();

        meshFilter.mesh = mesh.Convert();
    }
}

In this example, we're generating stroke and shape meshes and after we adding them to a NativeColorMesh. Then, we're setting the resulting mesh as the MeshFilter's mesh.
