Adding Multiple meshes to a single mesh?

How would I add multiple .x meshes to 1 mesh buffer so I can add it to a single SceneNode at runtime?

I have done a search and couldn't find an answer.

Why would you want that to do? Otherwise just copy all mesh buffers to those of the new mesh.

I was thinking of creating a random maze made up of boxes, instead of adding one box per sceneNode or even TestSceneNodes, creating the whole mesh in one go, then having only 1 sceneNode.

It's purely for performance.

But you will get a much better performance when doing the triangulation on your own, i.e. not just joining all boxs into one buffer, but also merging adjacent faces.

Thanks for the speedy response.

I can see how you can getVertices() and getIndices() from a mesh buffer, but how do you set them?

Are there any functions, routines that you know of that will achieve something similar?

Maybe I need to go away and have a play, then come back again?

SMeshBuffer is (just as the 'S' says) a struct, so all data is accessible. Even the Indices and Vertices. Simply use push_back on Vertices and Indices.

Thank you for your help, I will try some things out based on your information.
