New API for Mesh Access
=======================

We're introducing a major enhancement aimed at making the process of retrieving meshes and geometry simpler in Exchange.
This enhancement provides developers with a refined approach for accessing geometric data, streamlining the creation and manipulation of models.

The addition includes:

* A :ref:`sample application <sample_mesh_viewer>` provided within the package.
* A new version of our :doc:`basic viewing tutorial </tutorials/c/mesh-viewer-sample>` which empowers the API additions.
* A C Module, :doc:`/api/c/group__a3d__rihelpers` which contains:

  * The :cpp:struct:`A3DMeshData` structure
  * The :cpp:func:`A3DRiComputeMesh` function

.. rubric:: More to Come

This addition is part of a bigger initiative that will add more higher level features in our API to provide you with common application-level use cases without masking the underlying set of functions.

Support for C#
==============

This new release comes with the addition of a C# overlay.

For more information, see :doc:`/api/cs`.
