| Apr 25, 2012 at 17:05 | comment | added | user159 | @Kikaimaru yes you would have to. No matter what method you used, if you are sharing the same object a change in one will show a change in the other. If he wants two distinct copies he will have to deep copy. How you do that is up to you. | |
| Apr 25, 2012 at 17:00 | comment | added | Kikaimaru | When you load model file, it will call directx routines to create new vertex buffer object and then fill it with vertices from file. When you make copy, you will only copy pointer to that unamaged data (i supposose you dont want to make deep copy of unamanged memory) | |
| Apr 25, 2012 at 16:58 | comment | added | user159 | @Kikaimaru To plays devil's advocate, where did you hear this? Using the second or third method above is doing essentially the same thing. You are creating a second copy of the entire data structure. I can do that via loading from disk or re-serializing it again in memory and it shouldn't matter. Both ways cause me to create a new copy of the whole object. No offense here (and I could be 100% wrong) but you do know what I mean by deep copy right? I'm not talking about a shallow copy. | |
| Apr 25, 2012 at 16:54 | comment | added | Kikaimaru | Yes, it will have pointer to that vertex buffer in unamanged memory. And when he will try to edit it (destructible geometry), it would affect all meshes that has pointer to that vertex buffer. (Well but I don't know where vertex buffer data are stored, and where do dynamic vertex buffer store them) so it's just a thought. | |

| Apr 25, 2012 at 16:29 | comment | added | user159 | I could very well be wrong as I have never done it, but I think it is the other way around. The Texture2d is just a location in memory. doing a deep copy just creates a perfect clone in another location essentially doing what you want. the DX stuff will have pointers to THAT location in memory. | |

| Apr 25, 2012 at 16:23 | comment | added | Kikaimaru | Are you sure you can make copies like that of things like texture or vertex buffer, that has pointer to some unmanaged directx stuff? | |
