Exporter

This document tries to describe how the export process works, and how to implement a new exporter.

IExporter.hpp represents the public interface of an exporter. It handles creation of an exporter instance via the IExporter::Create function. Each library exporter must be created inside this function.

Internally the Save method calls the protected WriteData method.

All currently available exporter implementations can be found here.

Basic example

#ifndef MYEXPORTER_HPP
#define MYEXPORTER_HPP

#include <VCore/Export/IExporter.hpp>

namespace VCore
{
    class CMyExporter : public IExporter
    {
        public:
            CMyExporter() = default;
            ~CMyExporter() = default;
        protected:
            // Please don't put the implementation inside the header file.
            void WriteData(const std::string &_Path, const std::vector<Mesh> &_Meshes) override
            {
                // Iterate over each mesh an write the data to the data stream

                // Save each texture and mesh to disk.
            }
    };
}
