Class Description

Used by developers to create Shader plug-ins.

The methods of this class must be implemented to provide data to the 3ds Max interactive renderer. This will let that renderer to properly reflect the look of the shader in the viewports. The methods associated with the actual Shader illumination code are from the base class BaseShader. There are various Get and Set methods defined in this class. Plug-in developers provide implementations for the 'Get' methods which are used by the interactive renderer. The implementations of the 'Set' methods are used when switching between shaders types in the Materials Editor. This is used to transfer the corresponding colors between the old Shader and the new one. Note that some shaders may not have the exact parameters as called for in the methods. In those case an approximate value may be returned from the 'Get' methods. For example, the Strauss Shader doesn't have an Ambient channel. In that case the Diffuse color is taken and divided by 2 and returned as the Ambient color. This gives the interactive renderer something to work with that might not be exact but is somewhat representative.

virtual float EvalHiliteCurve ( float  x)
inlinevirtual

Evaluates the hightlight curve that appears in the Shader user interface.

This gets called from the DrawHilite() function which is available to developers in /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/MATERIALS/SHADER/SHADERUTIL.CPP

Parameters
xThe input value.
Returns
The output value on the curve. A value of 1.0 represents the top of the curve as it appears in the UI. Values greater than 1.0 are okay and simply appear off the top of the graph.
1059 { return 0.0f; }
virtual float EvalHiliteCurve2 ( float  x,
float  y,
int  level = 0 
)
inlinevirtual

This is the highlight curve function for the two highlight curves which intersect and appear in the UI, for instance in the Anistropic shader.

Parameters
xThe x input value.
yThe y input value.
levelThis is used by multi-layer shaders to indicate which layer to draw. The draw highlight curve routines use this when redrawing the graph.
Returns
The output value of the curve.
1069 { return 0.0f; }
CoreExport void ShadeReflection ( ShadeContext sc,
IllumParams ip,
Color mapClr 
)
virtual

Implements the Max std way of handling reflection to provide the default implementation.

Reimplemented from BaseShader.

CoreExport void ShadeTransmission ( ShadeContext sc,
IllumParams ip,
Color mapClr,
float  amount 
)
virtual

Implements the Max std way of handling transmission to provide the default implementation.

Reimplemented from BaseShader.

void PreShade ( ShadeContext sc,
IReshadeFragment pFrag 
)
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method will pre-shade the object and cache any needed values in the fragment.

This method is called on the materials/shaders/textures as the reshading buffer is being built at the same point in the rendering process where the materials shade function would normally be called. Note that at this time the shade context is completely valid, as in a normal rendering. Any values the material wishes to cache can be attached to the reshading fragment passed in, and retrieved later at postShade time.
Parameters:
ShadeContext& sc

A reference to the shade context.

IReshadeFragment* pFrag

A pointer to the fragment.
Default Implementation:
{ }

Reimplemented from IReshading.

1077 {}
void PostShade ( ShadeContext sc,
IReshadeFragment pFrag,
int nextTexIndex,
IllumParams ip 
)
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method will retrieve cached values and compute shade & transparency for the fragment.

This method is called for the material of each fragment as the reshading buffer is being traversed. Materials retrieve whatever they may have stored to complete the minimal shade context and compute a shade for the fragment. PostShade() calls to shaders contain an additional parameter, the IllumParams, filled with the textured/blended but unshaded values for each texture. The shade context passed into PostShade() is the minimal shade context outlined above.
Parameters:
ShadeContext& sc

A reference to the shade context.

IReshadeFragment* pFrag

A pointer to the fragment.

int& nextTexIndex

A reference to the next texture index.

IllumParams* ip = NULL

A pointer to the IllumParams containing textured/blended but unshaded values for each texture.
Default Implementation:
{ }

Reimplemented from IReshading.

1078 { Illum( sc, *ip ); }
virtual void Illum(ShadeContext &sc, IllumParams &ip)=0
This is the illumination function for the Shader.
