Mesh Asset

The Mesh Asset is one of the four asset types that can be used in a Foxel project. Mesh assets are primarily created during the import of mesh files, such as FBX or OBJ.

Mesh assets contain a node tree for easy scene management, and a timeline for keyframe-based animation.

Mesh assets can be loaded into Voxel Scenes via VoxelSceneReference nodes which convert the mesh data into voxel data.

Create

To create a new mesh asset use FxFile.Create with FileType 114.

assetID = FxFile.Create(114);
assetID = FxFile.Rename(114, assetID, "MyAsset"); -- rename new asset
FxFile.Open(114, assetID); -- open new asset

Files

All asset files of a project are stored in the project folder Projects\PROJECTNAME\Assets\ with the file extension .fxl.
