FStaticToSkeletalMeshConverter::InitializeSkeletonFromStaticMesh

Creates a skeleton from a static mesh with a bone chain going from root to end effector, where the intermediary bones are distributed evenly along a line between the two.

Remarks

Creates a skeleton from a static mesh with a bone chain going from root to end effector, where the intermediary bones are distributed evenly along a line between the two. `true_ if the operation succeeded.

Parameters

Name Description
InSkeleton The skeleton to initialize. It has to be freshly created and contain no bones already.
InStaticMesh The static mesh whose bounding box will be used as a reference.
InRelativeRootPosition The relative root position in a unit cube that gets scaled up to match the bbox of the static mesh. For example, given FVector(0.5, 0.5, 0.0), the root bone location will be placed at the center of the bottom of the static mesh's bbox.
InRelativeEndEffectorPosition The end effector position, positioned in the same manner as the root position. If the end effector is in the same location as the root, only the root bone is created.
InIntermediaryJointCount Number of joints to create between the root and the end effector.
