Struct SerializedMesh 

pub struct SerializedMesh { /* private fields */ }

A version of Mesh suitable for serializing for short-term transfer.

Mesh does not implement Serialize / Deserialize because it is made with the renderer in mind. It is not a general-purpose mesh implementation, and its internals are subject to frequent change. As such, storing a Mesh on disk is highly discouraged.

But there are still some valid use cases for serializing a Mesh, namely transferring meshes between processes. To support this, you can create a SerializedMesh from a Mesh with SerializedMesh::from_mesh, and then deserialize it with SerializedMesh::deserialize. The caveats are:

• The mesh representation is not valid across different versions of Bevy.
• This conversion is lossy. Only the following information is preserved:
  • Primitive topology
  • Vertex attributes
  • Indices
• Custom attributes that were not specified with MeshDeserializer::add_custom_vertex_attribute will be ignored while deserializing.

Implementations

impl SerializedMesh

pub fn from_mesh(mesh: Mesh) -> Self

Create a SerializedMesh from a Mesh. See the documentation for SerializedMesh for caveats.

pub fn into_mesh(self) -> Mesh

Create a Mesh from a SerializedMesh. See the documentation for SerializedMesh for caveats.

Use MeshDeserializer if you need to pass extra options to the deserialization process, such as specifying custom vertex attributes.
