#### This page strives to clear up and explain some terms you often come across when using Model Engine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Model Blueprint
|
|
|
|
This term refers to the imported models cached within Model Engine after server boot
|
|
|
|
or running the `/meg reload models` command. As the name suggest, this is only the blueprint,
|
|
|
|
and not the [model itself](#active-model).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Modeled Entity
|
|
|
|
This term is used to describe an entity which has the capability of displaying models.
|
|
|
|
A modeled entity doesn't necessarily have a model, and can have multiple [active models](#active-model)
|
|
|
|
at once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Active Model
|
|
|
|
An active model is the actual model that is being applied to a [modeled entity](#modeled-entity),
|
|
|
|
animated, and displayed in the world. It's structured can be altered at runtime, and does not affect
|
|
|
|
the [model blueprint](#model-blueprint) when modified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Bone
|
|
|
|
A bone represents the movable part of an [active model](#active-model).
|
|
|
|
It also rarely refers to the default bone configuration stored within a [model blueprint](#model-blueprint),
|
|
|
|
which should not be modified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### State
|
|
|
|
An animation that is being supplied from a [model blueprint](#model-blueprint) to a [active model](#active-model),
|
|
|
|
and configured with different attributes such as speed, transition-in time, and transition-out time. |
