API
Generate a HLR solution from any set of polyhedral meshes using RED::ITransformShape::BuildHLR.
Learn how to use REDsdk to generate vector based graphics using the pixel analysis system. See a practical example for the generation of HLR vector outputs from a scene.
Learn how you can extend the .red file format by supporting custom data containers.
