Detailed Description

This class provides an implementation for generating topology and point positions on a sphere with a given radius.

The sphere is made up of circular cross-sections in the XY plane and is centered at the origin. Each cross-section has numRadial segments. Successive cross-sections are generated at numAxial locations along the Z axis, with the bottom of the sphere at Z = -r and top at Z = r.

An optional transform may be provided to GeneratePoints to orient the sphere as necessary (e.g., cross-sections in the YZ plane).

An additional overload of GeneratePoints is provided to specify a sweep angle for the sphere about the +Z axis. When the sweep is less than 360 degrees, the generated geometry is not closed.

Usage:

const size_t numRadial = 4, numAxial = 4;
const size_t numPoints =
GeomUtilSphereMeshGenerator::ComputeNumPoints(numRadial, numAxial);
const float radius = 5;
MyPointContainer<GfVec3f> points(numPoints);
GeomUtilSphereMeshGenerator::GeneratePoints(
points.begin(), numRadial, numAxial, radius);
