Parameters

mesh Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.BaseMesh
A BaseMesh class that represents the mesh to convert.
attributeIdentifier System.Int32
Attribute identifier of the mesh subset to convert.
indexBufferOptions Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.MeshFlags
One or more flags from the MeshFlags enumeration that specify options for creating the new strip mesh (excepting the Simplify* and Optimize* flags).
numIndices System.Int32
Number of indices in the buffer returned in the ret_IndexBuffer.
stripLengths Microsoft.DirectX.GraphicsStream
A GraphicsStream that contains one Int32Leave Site value per strip, which specifies the number of triangles in that strip.
numStrips System.Int32
Number of individual strips in the index buffer and the corresponding strip length array.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.IndexBuffer
A class that represents the index buffer containing the strip.

Remarks

Before running this function, call Optimize or OptimizeFaces, with the MeshFlags.OptimizeAttributeSort flag set.
