Modules Matali Content
Overview of Matali Content module
Matali Content is an advanced, modern, multi-platform, high-performance content management engine. Matali Content is a part of Matali Physics environment.
Resource Management
• Reading data from a file • Reading data from memory • Saving data to a file • Saving data to memory • Bit stream operations (read and save) • Multi-threaded resource reading • Multi-threaded resource saving
Advanced Triangle Meshes Creation Functionalities
• Triangle meshes for predefined shapes (sphere, hemisphere, cube, cuboid, cylinder, two radius cylinder (truncated cone), cone, pyramid, capsule, two radius capsule, torus, tube, triangle, plain) • Triangle meshes for user shapes • Triangle meshes for procedural surfaces: Bezier and NURBS • Managers: regions, vertices and triangles • Adjustable numbers of stacks and slices • Meshes returned as arrays of indexed or non-indexed triangles
Specializations for Matali Render
• Calculation of normal maps in tangent space • Calculation of height maps for height mapping (parallax mapping)
Specializations for Matali Synth
• Converting data from DLS (level 1 and 2) files to Matali Synth Bank format • Multilevel filtering of instruments and their regions • Built-in audio data upsampler supporting various types of data interpolation • Calculation of MIDI song duration • Data statistics

Frequently asked questions
- Can I import my triangle meshes created in Blender into Matali Physics?
- Of course, Matali Content offers complete import of triangle meshes from Collada (.dae) format as well as Collada XML API, through which you can write your own importer. The Collada format is supported by Blender.
- Can I import any type of SMF 1.x file and play music from it on any platform supported by the environment?
- Yes. Matali Content imports all types/formats of Standard MIDI Files 1.x into our internal format from which the music is then played with Matali Synth.
- Can I import selected instruments from a DLS bank?
- Yes, and also selected instrument regions.
- Does Matali Content support floating point data in the WAV files?
- Yes, from version 6.0.
