occlusion
This property determines the type of occlusion query algorithm to run in WebGl, you can use:
- AbstractMesh.OCCLUSION_ALGORITHM_TYPE_ACCURATE which is mapped to GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED.
- AbstractMesh.OCCLUSION_ALGORITHM_TYPE_CONSERVATIVE (Default Value) which is mapped to GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED_CONSERVATIVE which is a false positive algorithm that is faster than GL_ANY_SAMPLES_PASSED but less accurate.
occlusion
This number indicates the number of allowed retries before stop the occlusion query, this is useful if the occlusion query is taking long time before to the query result is retrieved, the query result indicates if the object is visible within the scene or not and based on that Babylon.Js engine decides to show or hide the object. The default value is -1 which means don't break the query and wait till the result
occlusion
This property is responsible for starting the occlusion query within the Mesh or not, this property is also used to determine what should happen when the occlusionRetryCount is reached. It has supports 3 values:
- OCCLUSION_TYPE_NONE (Default Value): this option means no occlusion query within the Mesh.
- OCCLUSION_TYPE_OPTIMISTIC: this option is means use occlusion query and if occlusionRetryCount is reached and the query is broken show the mesh.
- OCCLUSION_TYPE_STRICT: this option is means use occlusion query and if occlusionRetryCount is reached and the query is broken restore the last state of the mesh occlusion if the mesh was visible then show the mesh if was hidden then hide don't show.

Static Readonly CULLINGSTRATEGY_
Culling strategy : Bounding Sphere Only. This is an exclusion test. It's faster than the standard strategy because the bounding box is not tested. It's also less accurate than the standard because some not visible objects can still be selected. Test : is the bounding sphere outside the frustum ? If not, then the cullable object is in the frustum.
Static Readonly CULLINGSTRATEGY_
Culling strategy : Optimistic Inclusion. This in an inclusion test first, then the standard exclusion test. This can be faster when a cullable object is expected to be almost always in the camera frustum. This could also be a little slower than the standard test when the tested object center is not the frustum but one of its bounding box vertex is still inside. Anyway, it's as accurate as the standard strategy. Test : Is the cullable object bounding sphere center in the frustum ? If not, apply the default culling strategy.
Static Readonly CULLINGSTRATEGY_
Culling strategy : Optimistic Inclusion then Bounding Sphere Only. This in an inclusion test first, then the bounding sphere only exclusion test. This can be the fastest test when a cullable object is expected to be almost always in the camera frustum. This could also be a little slower than the BoundingSphereOnly strategy when the tested object center is not in the frustum but its bounding sphere still intersects it. It's less accurate than the standard strategy and as accurate as the BoundingSphereOnly strategy. Test : Is the cullable object bounding sphere center in the frustum ? If not, apply the Bounding Sphere Only strategy. No Bounding Box is tested here.
Static Readonly CULLINGSTRATEGY_
Default culling strategy : this is an exclusion test and it's the more accurate. Test order : Is the bounding sphere outside the frustum ? If not, are the bounding box vertices outside the frustum ? It not, then the cullable object is in the frustum.

add
add
Adds the passed mesh as a child to the current mesh
Parameters
mesh: AbstractMesh
defines the child mesh
Optional preserveScalingSign: boolean
if true, keep scaling sign of child. Otherwise, scaling sign might change.
Returns AbstractMesh
the current mesh
add
Adds a rotation step to the mesh current rotation. x, y, z are Euler angles expressed in radians. This methods updates the current mesh rotation, either mesh.rotation, either mesh.rotationQuaternion if it's set. This means this rotation is made in the mesh local space only. It's useful to set a custom rotation order different from the BJS standard one YXZ. Example : this rotates the mesh first around its local X axis, then around its local Z axis, finally around its local Y axis.
mesh.addRotation(x1, 0, 0).addRotation(0, 0, z2).addRotation(0, 0, y3);Note that
addRotation()accumulates the passed rotation values to the current ones and computes the .rotation or .rotationQuaternion updated values. Under the hood, only quaternions are used. So it's a little faster is you use .rotationQuaternion because it doesn't need to translate them back to Euler angles.Parameters

the current mesh
update
Updates the AbstractMesh indices array
Parameters
indices: IndicesArray
defines the data source
Optional offset: number
defines the offset in the index buffer where to store the new data (can be null)
Optional gpuMemoryOnly: boolean
defines a boolean indicating that only the GPU memory must be updated leaving the CPU version of the indices unchanged (false by default)
Returns AbstractMesh
the current mesh
update
Copies the parameter passed Matrix into the mesh Pose matrix.
Parameters
matrix: Matrix
the matrix to copy the pose from
Returns TransformNode
this TransformNode.
update
Updates the existing vertex data of the mesh geometry for the requested
kind. If the mesh has no geometry, it is simply returned as it is. Thedataare either a numeric array either a Float32Array. No new underlying VertexBuffer object is created. If thekindis thePositionKindand ifupdateExtendsis true, the mesh BoundingInfo is renewed, so the bounding box and sphere, and the mesh World Matrix is recomputed. If the parametermakeItUniqueis true, a new global geometry is created from this positions and is set to the mesh.Possible
