API changes

All API changes in this version are needed to export user data in glTF through TriMesh, the user data in Mesh and VertexElementUserData will be supported in the next version.

Added new members to class Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities.SemanticAttribute:

        /// <summary>
        /// Semantic of the vertex field
        /// </summary>
        public VertexFieldSemantic Semantic { get; }
        /// <summary>
        /// Alias of the vertex field
        /// </summary>
        public string Alias { get; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Initialize a <see cref="SemanticAttribute"/>
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="semantic">The semantic of the struct's field.</param>
        /// <param name="alias">Alias of the field.</param>
        public SemanticAttribute(VertexFieldSemantic semantic, string alias)

The new added constructor allows you to specify an alias for the vertex field, which can be used to export custom field name in supported exporters like GLTF.

Update method AddField in class Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities.VertexDeclaration:

        /// <summary>
        /// Add a new vertex field
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="dataType">The data type of the vertex field</param>
        /// <param name="semantic">How will this field used for</param>
        /// <param name="index">The index for same field semantic</param>
        /// <param name="alias">The alias name of the field</param>
        public VertexField AddField(VertexFieldDataType dataType, VertexFieldSemantic semantic, int index = -1, string alias = null)

The new AddField added a new paramter alias to specify the alias name of the field, it works exactly the same as the new added constructor of SemanticAttribute.

Added members to class Aspose.ThreeD.Utilities.VertexField:

        /// <summary>
        /// Alias annotated by attribute <see cref="SemanticAttribute"/>
        /// </summary>
        public string Alias { get { return alias; } }

Code snippet to export custom data to glTF

public struct Vertex
{
        [Semantic(VertexFieldSemantic.Position)]
        public FVector3 position;
        [Semantic(VertexFieldSemantic.Normal)]
        public FVector3 normal;
        [Semantic(VertexFieldSemantic.UV)]
        public FVector2 texcoord;

        //Specify the Alias of this field to "_BATCH_ID"
        [Semantic(VertexFieldSemantic.UserData, "_BATCH_ID")]
        public float batchId;

        public Vertex(FVector3 position, FVector3 normal ,FVector2 texcoord, float batchId)
        {
                this.position = position;
                this.normal = normal;
                this.texcoord = texcoord;
                this.batchId = batchId;
        }
}
private unsafe static void ExportCustomFieldToGLTF()

        //Prepare the vertices and indices:
        var vertices = new Vertex[]

        }
        //Create a vertex declaration from reflection:
        var vd = VertexDeclaration.FromType<Vertex>();
        //construct a TriMesh from raw bytes of vertices and indices
        var mesh = TriMesh.FromRawData(vd, verticesInBytes, indices, false);
        //create a scene with the mesh
        var scene = new Scene(mesh);
        //export the scene to a binary glTF file
        scene.Save("test.glb", FileFormat.GLTF2_Binary);

        // The GLTF primitive generated in the test.glb will be:
        // {"attributes" : {"POSITION" : 0, "NORMAL" : 1, "TEXCOORD_0" : 2, "_BATCH_ID" : 3}, "mode" : 4}
