From the XML file one can point to a byte offset of the bin file and read a number of array elements from there. For instance a mesh can have the following as normal array specification:<DIV></DIV><DIV><NORMALS ofs="1024" size="100"></NORMALS></DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>This line says that at byte offset 1024 a number of 100 float3 values should be read into the normal array.</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV>For some more information look in the file app/importers/xml.cpp functions loadBinary and loadVec{2f,3f,3i}Array, etc.</DIV><DIV></DIV> Mon, 05 Mar 2012 06:17:15 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Embree-Ray-Tracing-Kernels/bin-format/m-p/797188#M118 SvenW_Intel 2012-03-05T06:17:15Z
