ClumpBegin

Usage

    ClumpBegin 

Description

This command declares the beginning of a new clump. All subsequent vertices and polygons are added to this clump until a matching ClumpEnd is reached.

A clump is a collection of vertices, polygons, and materials. Clumps are the basic building blocks of all objects. All .rwx files should have at least one ClumpBegin/ClumpEnd pair.

Clumps can be nested (i.e. one ClumpBegin/ClumpEnd pair can be declared inside another). When clumps are nested the object becomes hierarchical, and the inner clump is called a child clump. Since hierarchical objects can take significantly longer to render than non-hierarchical (or "flat") objects, for best performance nested clumps should only be used in RWX files intended for avatars that are to be animated.

Arguments

Examples

Example 1

 Modelbegin
  ClumpBegin
   # model code goes in here
  ClumpEnd
 ModelEnd

or

 Modelbegin
  ClumpBegin
   # model 1 code goes in here
  ClumpEnd
  ClumpBegin
   # model 2 code goes in here
  ClumpEnd
 ModelEnd

Example 2

Another variation required for Collision off

 Modelbegin
  ClumpBegin
   ClumpBegin
    # model 1 code goes in here
   ClumpEnd
   ClumpBegin
    collision off
    # model2 code goes in here
   ClumpEnd
  ClumpEnd
 ModelEnd

Note the nested master clump.
