#include <IMtlRender_Compatibility.h>

Class Description

See also: Class IMtlRender_Compatibility_Renderer, Class ClassDesc2, Class Mtl, Class Texmap

Description:: This interface is used to determine whether a material/map flags itself as being compatible with a specific renderer plugin. If the material/map flags itself as being compatible with a renderer, then it is deemed compatible with that renderer regardless of what class IMtlRender_Compatibility_Renderer might say.

Implementation:: To be inherited by a ClassDesc or ClassDesc2 of a Texmap or Mtl plugin. The child class needs to call Init(*this) in its constructor.

Default compatibility:: If neither the renderer nor the material/map implements the compatibility interface, they are considered compatible by default.

Material/map browser icon:: The interface also provides a way of defining an icon that appears in the material browser - GetCustomMtlBrowserIcon. This can be used to provide an Enabled/Disabled color. In mental ray enabled uses a yellow icon, the DirextX 9 Shader uses a pink icon. Developers can use this to highlight special materials or textures.

void Init ( ClassDesc & classDesc )

inline

Remarks: Initialization method. MUST be called from the constructor of the child class. i.e. "Init(*this);".

Parameters

classDesc - Reference to sub-class instance

                                                                        {
 
     LoadDescriptor(IMTLRENDER_COMPATIBILITY_MTLBASE_INTERFACEID, _M("IMtlRender_Compability_MtlBase"), 0, &classDesc, 0, p_end);
 }

virtual bool IsCompatibleWithRenderer ( ClassDesc & rendererClassDesc )

pure virtual

Remarks: Returns whether this material/map is compatible with the given renderer. (Use the class ID of the renderer to determine compatibility).

Parameters

rendererClassDesc - Class descriptor of a Renderer plugin

virtual bool GetCustomMtlBrowserIcon	(	HIMAGELIST &	hImageList,
		int &	inactiveIndex,
		int &	activeIndex,
		int &	disabledIndex
	)

inlinevirtual

Remarks: Provides custom icons for the material/map browser. Returns true if custom icons are provided.

When using this method, the developer should keep a single instance of the imagelist used, and it is the developers responsibility to release the memory

Parameters

hImageList	- The image list from which the icons are extracted. The images should have a mask.
inactiveIndex	- Index (into image list) of icon to be displayed when the material/map has the "Show Maps in Viewport" flag turned OFF.
activeIndex	- Index (into image list) of icon to be displayed when the material/map has the "Show Maps in Viewport" flag turned ON.
disabledIndex	- Index (into image list) of icon to be displayed when the material/map is NOT COMPATIBLE with the current renderer.

Returns: true if custom icons are provided

     { 
         return false; 
     }
