Skin is an additional RenderWare plugin for geometry section. It is used to hold information about skinned model.

numBones (numMatrices)

Number of bones attached to the skin, also the number of inverse matrices (see skinToBoneMatrices).

numUsedBones

Number of bones which influence vertices, that is those bones which have at least a non-zero weight.

maxWeightsPerVertex

Overall number of maximum non-zero weights per vertex.

bonesUsed

Indices list of the significant bones connected to the skin (see numUsedBones).

vertexBoneIndices

Vertex bone indices are represented with 4 bone indices per each vertex.

vertexBoneWeights

Vertex bone weights are represented with RwMatrixWeights structure per each vertex.

skinToBoneMatrices

These are inverse matrices represented with RwMatrix structure.

boneLimit

numMeshes

numRLE

meshBoneRemapIndices

meshBoneRLECount

meshBoneRLE
