INodeShadingProperties Class Reference

#include <INodeShadingProperties.h>

Class Description

A node based interface to support new Viewport Rendering features.

The new interface for 3ds max 10 provides access to the new viewport rendering features. This includes the ability for any number of lights to illuminate the scene. A light can now cast shadows in the viewport and provide illumination which are properties stored at the node level. The IViewportShadingMgr interacts with this interface to give the user some control over these light node properties. These properties only have an effect if Viewport Shading is turned on. The developer can access this interface directly from the node.

INodeShadingProperties * shadeProp = static_cast<INodeShadingProperties*>(node->GetInterface(NODESHADINGPROPERTIES_INTERFACE));

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool GetViewportShadowCasting ( )

pure virtual

Retrieves the shadow casting flag.

Returns

TRUE if it is shadow casting, FALSE if this is turned off

virtual void SetViewportShadowCasting ( bool  bSet )

pure virtual

Set the shading casting flag.

Parameters

bSet	Pass TRUE to turn on shadow casting, FALSE to turn it off.

virtual bool GetViewportIlluminate ( )

pure virtual

Retrieves the illumination flag.

Returns

TRUE if it is turned on for illumination, FALSE if this is turned off

virtual void SetViewportIlluminate ( bool  bSet )

pure virtual

Set the illuminate flag.

Parameters

bSet	Pass TRUE to turn on illumination, FALSE to turn it off.

virtual bool GetLockedViewportIllumination ( )

pure virtual

Retrieves the locked state of the light.

A locked light means that it is not affected by changes of other properties. For example if the user locks the sun light, it will not be affected by a group "turn of shadows".

Returns

The locked lighting flag

virtual void SetLockedViewportIllumination ( bool  bSet )

pure virtual

Sets the locked flag for the light node.

A locked light means that it is not affected by changes of other properties. For example if the user locks the sun light, it will not be affected by a group "turn of shadows".

Parameters

bSet	TRUE to turn it on, FALSE to turn it off
