Class Description

Description:: This class is only available in release 5 or later.

This interface provides access to the DirectX interfaces on the drawing thread of Max. This allows creation and loading of various DirectX objects such as Textures. This class has many interfaces not currently implemented, although they will compile and link correctly. This is due to support for DirectX 9, meaning that when a compatible driver is released these methods will be implemented. The documentation for this class only deals with methods that developers can and would normally use.

The basic idea of this class is to provide the developer with access to the DirectX device without actually giving the developer total control, and thus possibility to de-stable the 3ds Max Viewports.

A pointer to this class can be obtained with the following code snippet:
ViewExp *pview = GetCOREInterface()->GetActiveViewport();

GraphicsWindow *gw = pview->getGW();

IHardwareRenderer * phr = (IHardwareRenderer

)gw->GetInterface(HARDWARE_RENDERER_INTERFACE_ID);

For an example usage of this class see MAXSDK/SAMPLES/HardwareShaders/LightMap/Lightmap.cpp

virtual Interface_ID GetID ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks: This method returns the unique interface ID.

Reimplemented from IHardwareShader.

Reimplemented in IHardwareRendererST.

57 { return HARDWARE_RENDERER_INTERFACE_ID; }

HARDWARE_RENDERER_INTERFACE_ID

#define HARDWARE_RENDERER_INTERFACE_ID

Definition: ihardwarerenderer.h:25

virtual LifetimeType LifetimeControl ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks: This method allows inquiries into the actual lifetime policy of a client and provide a server-controlled delete notify callback.

Returns: One of the following LifetimeTypes:

noRelease

Do not call release, use interface as long as you like.

immediateRelease

The interface is only good for one calls. The release is implied so a call to release is not required.

wantsRelease

The clients are controlling the lifetime, so the interface needs a Release() when the client has finished. This is the default.

serverControlled

The server controls the lifetime and will use the InterfaceNotifyCallback to inform the code when it is gone.

Default Implementation:: { return noRelease; }

Reimplemented from IHardwareShader.

60 { return noRelease; }

virtual bool ObjectDrawnByShader ( )

pure virtual

This tells the mesh / mnmesh classes whether a shader has performed the drawing already so it can simply ignore the draw call.

When a shader draws an object, in certain situations 3ds Max will also try to draw the object. This can produce a "double draw" situation. This method used to query if the object has been drawn by the shader already. If it has you can simply ignore your drawing code. However if you draw any support objects or subobject data, these can still be drawn, you simply want to avoid drawing the actual triangles of the object.

Returns: true if the object has already been drawn, false if not.

virtual void DXCacheUpdateVertexBuffer	(	DWORD_PTR	pMesh,
		Point3 *	vertexList,
		Point3 *	gfxNormalList,
		Point3 *	faceNormalList,
		BitArray &	changedVerts,
		int	count
	)

pure virtual

This method lets you update the vertex positions of the DirectX mesh cache.

This allow you to keep the DirectX mesh cache around without having to delete it on geometric changes.

Parameters

[in]	pMesh	this is the handle of the DirectX mesh
[in]	vertexList	this is a pointer to an array containing the new vertex positions
[in]	gfxNormalList	this is a pointer to an array containing the new vertex normals. This is the gfxnormals, ie the flattened list of the render normals
[in]	faceNormalList	this is a pointer to an array containing the new face normals. This is to handle face with no smoothing group which default to the face normal instead of the render normals
[in]	changedVerts	this is a bitarray that marks all the vertices that have changed. This lets us know which sectors of the mesh we don;t have to change thus making the operation faster
[in]	count	this is the number of vertices in the vertexList
