ShapeObject Class Reference

#include <object.h>

Class Description

ShapeObjects are open or closed hierarchical shapes made up of one or more pieces.

This base class defines a set of methods that plug-in shapes must implement. Note: Many plug-in shapes may be derived from Class SimpleSpline rather than this class and have fewer methods to implement. See that class for more details. Any classes subclassing off of ShapeObject should be sure to call the ShapeObject constructor in their constructor, in order to properly initialize the fields contained in the ShapeObject. This is the thickness field, which specifies the thickness of the mesh generated from the shape at rendering time. For example:

Also, the ShapeObject contains Load and Save methods, which handle the storage of the data contained within the ShapeObject. In order to properly store this information, classes which subclass off of ShapeObject need to call the ShapeObject Load and Save methods before storing their information. For example:

{
if(res != IO_OK)
return res;
...
}
{
if(res != IO_OK)
return res;
...
}

The number of ShapeObject references/subanims are defined as SHAPE_OBJ_NUM_REFS and SHAPE_OBJ_NUM_SUBS in /include/object.h and are set to the number of references and subanims in the ShapeObject class, you can use them to make your code more bullet-proof should the number of references change in the future. See maxsdk/include/splshape.h for an example of how they can be used.

This method should be implemented by all renderable GeomObjects.

It provides a mesh representation of the object for use by the renderer. Primitives that already have a mesh cached can just return a pointer to it (and set needDelete to FALSE). Implementations of this method which take a long time should periodically call View::CheckForRenderAbort() to see if the user has canceled the render. If canceled, the function can either return NULL, or return a non null pointer with the appropriate value for needDelete. (If needDelete is TRUE a non-null mesh will be deleted.)

Parameters
tThe time to get the mesh.
inodeThe node in the scene.

virtual BOOL HasUVW ( )
inlinevirtual

Call this method to find out if the object has UVW coordinates.

This method returns TRUE if the object has UVW coordinates; otherwise FALSE. In 3ds Max 2.0 and later there is code in the renderer that will automatically turn on the UVW coordinates of the base object if UV's are missing (and needed). The base object has to implement two simple methods to make this work: HasUVW() and SetGenUVW(). Developers are encouraged to put these methods in their objects: it makes using the program easier for the user. If they are not implemented, it doesn't cause any real harm: it will just operate as before and put up the missing UVW's message. Here is how the procedural sphere implements these methods:

BOOL SphereObject::GetGenUVW()
{
BOOL genUVs;
pblock->GetValue(PB_GENUVS, 0, genUVs, v);
return genUVs;
}
void SphereObject::SetGenUVW(BOOL sw)
{
if (sw==GetGenUVW()) return;
pblock->SetValue(PB_GENUVS,0, sw);
}

Important Note: The pblock->SetValue() will cause a call to NotifyDependents(FOREVER, PART_TEXMAP, REFMSG_CHANGE), which will invalidate the UVW cache. It is essential that this call be made, so if the 'generate UVW' boolean is not handled by a parameter block, then NotifyDependents() needs to be called explicitly. Also Note: For "modifiable objects" that pass up the pipeline getting modified, such as TriObject, EditTriObject, etc., which cannot generate their own UVWs, but can carry them in their data structures, only this HasUVW() method needs to be implemented. For example, here is the implementation for TriObject: BOOL TriObject::HasUVW() { return mesh.tvFace?1:0; }

Reimplemented from Object.

4691 { return GetGenUVs(); }
CoreExport BOOL GetGenUVs()

virtual CoreExport IOResult Save ( ISave isave)
virtual

Implemented by the System.

This method handles the storage of the data contained within the ShapeObject. In order to properly store this information, classes which subclass off of ShapeObject need to call this methods before storing their information.

Parameters
isaveAn interface for saving data. See Class ISave.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

Reimplemented in SplineShape, SimpleSpline, SimpleShape, and LinearShape.

virtual CoreExport IOResult Load ( ILoad iload)
virtual

Implemented by the System.

This method handles the loading of the data contained within the ShapeObject. In order to properly load this information, classes which subclass off of ShapeObject need to call this methods before loading their information.

Parameters
iloadAn interface for loading data. See Class ILoad.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

Reimplemented in SplineShape, SimpleSpline, SimpleShape, and LinearShape.

virtual CoreExport Class_ID PreferredCollapseType ( )

Reimplemented from GeomObject.

virtual CoreExport BOOL GetExtendedProperties ( TimeValue  t,
MSTR prop1Label,
MSTR prop1Data,
MSTR prop2Label,
MSTR prop2Data 
)
virtual

Implemented by the System.

This is an implementation of the Object method. It fills in the property fields with the number of vertices and curves in the shape.

Reimplemented from Object.

virtual CoreExport void RescaleWorldUnits ( float  f)
virtual

Implemented by the System.

Objects derived from this class which have RescaleWorldUnits methods implemented need to call this method. The following example is the SplineShape implementation of this method from core.

{
return;
// Call the base class's rescale (this sets the A_WORK1 flag)
// Now rescale stuff inside our data structures
Matrix3 stm = ScaleMatrix(Point3(f, f, f));
shape.Transform(stm);
}

Note that the A_WORK1 flags is tested first to be sure it isn't processing the rescale twice. The code then calls ShapeObject::RescaleWorldUnits, which sets the A_WORK1 flag and performs the necessary rescale methods for all references for the object, and scales the renderable thickness value.

Parameters
fThe parameter to scale.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

Reimplemented in SplineShape, and LinearShape.

virtual CoreExport RefResult NotifyRefChanged ( const Interval changeInt,
RefTargetHandle  hTarget,
PartID partID,
RefMessage  message,
BOOL  propagate 
)
virtual

This method will notify the Shape Object of changes in values in its parameter block.

The ShapeObject's parameter block is reference number zero. If subclasses implement this method, they should pass any messages referring to the ShapeObject's parameter block to it. For example:

If this isn't one of our references, pass it on to the ShapeObject...

if(hTarget == GetReference(0))

return ShapeObject::NotifyRefChanged(

changeInt, hTarget, partID, message);

This is a vital part of the mechanism; When a parameter in the parameter block changes, the ShapeObject must be able to flush its cached mesh which will no longer be valid.

Parameters
changeIntThis is the interval of time over which the message is active.
hTargetThis is the handle of the reference target the message was sent by. The reference maker uses this handle to know specifically which reference target sent the message.
partIDThis contains information specific to the message passed in. Some messages don't use the partID at all. See the section Reference Messages for more information about the meaning of the partID for some common messages.
messageThe msg parameter passed into this method is the specific message which needs to be handled. See Reference Messages.
propagate- If called through ReferenceMaker::NotifyDependents(), the value of 'propagate' passed to it. Used if calling NotifyDependents() from within NotifyRefChanged().
Returns
The return value from this method is of type RefResult. This is usually REF_SUCCEED indicating the message was processed. Sometimes, the return value may be REF_STOP. This return value is used to stop the message from being propagated to the dependents of the item.

virtual CoreExport RefTargetHandle GetReference ( int  i)
virtual

This method allows the ShapeObject to return a pointer to its parameter block.

Any subclasses implementing this method must pass on the call if it indicates the ShapeObject's reference. For example:

>RefTargetHandle SomeShape::GetReference(int i) {
If(i == 0) return ShapeObject::GetReference(i);
}
Parameters
iThe reference handle to retrieve.
Returns
The handle to the Reference Target.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

virtual CoreExport void SetReference ( int  i,
RefTargetHandle  rtarg 
)
protectedvirtual

This method sets the ShapeObject's parameter block pointer.

Any subclasses implementing this method must pass on the call to the ShapeObject if it refers to index 0. For example: void SomeShape::SetReference(int i, RefTargetHandle rtarg) {

if(i == 0) ShapeObject::SetReference(i, rtarg);

}

Parameters
iThe virtual array index of the reference to store.
rtargThe reference handle to store.

virtual CoreExport Animatable* SubAnim ( int  i)
virtual

This method returns the ShapeObject's animatable pointer.

Derived classes implementing this method must pass on references to index 0 to the ShapeObject. For example:: Animatable* SomeShape::SubAnim(int i) {

if(i == 0) return ShapeObject::SubAnim(i);

}

Parameters
iThis is the index of the sub-anim to return.

Reimplemented from Animatable.

Reimplemented in SplineShape, SimpleSpline, and SimpleShape.

virtual CoreExport MSTR SubAnimName ( int  i)
virtual

This method returns the name of the animatable's name.

Derived classes implementing this method must pass on references to index 0 to the ShapeObject. For example: MSTR SomeShape::SubAnimName(int i) {

if(i == 0) return ShapeObject::SubAnimName(i);

}

Parameters
iThis is the index of the sub-anim's name to return.

Reimplemented from Animatable.

Reimplemented in SplineShape, SimpleSpline, and SimpleShape.

CoreExport ParamDimension* GetParameterDim ( int  pbIndex)

This method returns the parameter dimension of the parameter whose index is passed.

Parameters
pbIndexThe index of the parameter to return the dimension of.
Returns
Pointer to a ParamDimension.
CoreExport MSTR GetParameterName ( int  pbIndex)

This method returns the name of the parameter whose index is passed.

Parameters
pbIndexThe index of the parameter to return the dimension of.
virtual CoreExport int RemapRefOnLoad ( int  iref)
virtual

This method remaps references at load time so that files saved from previous versions of 3ds Max get their references adjusted properly to allow for the new ShapeObject reference.

If derived classes implement this method, they must properly pass on the call to the ShapeObject's code. An example from the SplineShape code:

// Have the ShapeObject do its thing first...
if(loadRefVersion == ES_REF_VER_0)
return iref+1;
return iref;
}\

Note that the SplineShape first calls ShapeObject's remapper, then applies its remapping operation to the index returned by the ShapeObject code. IMPORTANT NOTE: For this remapping to operate properly, the derived class MUST call ShapeObject::Save as the first thing in its Save() method, and must call ShapeObject::Load as the first thing in its Load() method. This allows the ShapeObject to determine file versions and the need for remapping references.

Parameters
irefThe input index of the reference.
Returns
The output index of the reference.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

Reimplemented in SplineShape.

virtual int NumRefs ( )
inlinevirtual

The ShapeObject makes 1 reference; this is where it tells the system.

Any derived classes implementing this method must take this into account when returning the number of references they make. A good idea is to implement NumRefs in derived classes as: Int SomeShape::NumRefs() {

return myNumRefs + ShapeObject::NumRefs();

}

virtual int NumSubs ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
The system uses a virtual array mechanism to access the sub-anims of a plug-in. This method returns the total number of sub-anims maintained by the plug-in. If a plug-in is using a parameter block to manage its parameters it should just return 1 for all the parameters directed by the parameter block.
Returns
The number of sub-anims used by the plug-in.
Default Implementation:
{ return 0; }

CoreExport void BeginEditParams ( IObjParam objParam,
ULONG  flags,
Animatable prev 
)
virtual

This method allows the ShapeObject to create its new "Rendering" rollup.

To use it, the derived class simply calls it first thing in its own BeginEditParams method. An example from the SplineShape code:

void SplineShape::BeginEditParams(IObjParam *ip, ULONG flags,Animatable prev )

{

ShapeObject::BeginEditParams(ip, flags, prev);

...

}

Parameters
objParamThe interface pointer passed to the plug-in.
flagsThe flags passed along to the plug-in in Animatable::BeginEditParams().
prevThe pointer passed to the plug-in in Animatable::BeginEditParams().

Reimplemented from Animatable.

Reimplemented in SplineShape, SimpleShape, and SimpleSpline.

CoreExport void EndEditParams ( IObjParam objParam,
ULONG  flags,
Animatable next 
)
virtual

Similarly to BeginEditParams, this method allows the ShapeObject to remove its "Rendering" rollup.

A derived class simply calls this first thing in its own EndEditParams. An example from the SplineShape code:

*next )
{
ShapeObject::EndEditParams(ip, flags, next);
// ...
}
Parameters
objParamThe interface pointer passed to the plug-in.
flagsThe flags passed along to the plug-in in Animatable::BeginEditParams().
nextThe pointer passed to the plug-in in Animatable::EndEditParams().

Reimplemented from Animatable.

Reimplemented in SplineShape, SimpleSpline, and SimpleShape.

CoreExport Interval GetShapeObjValidity ( TimeValue  t)

This method gets the validity interval for the ShapeObject's internal parameters only.

It DOES NOT include those of the derived classes. So, if you called this method on a ShapeObject that was a circle with an animated radius, you wouldn't see the effect of the animated radius on the interval

  • All you'd see would be the interval of the ShapeObject's rendering parameters. To get the entire ShapeObject's interval, you would call ShapeObject::ObjectShapeObjValidity(t).
    Parameters
    tThe time about which the interval is computed.
CoreExport int Display ( TimeValue  t,
INode inode,
ViewExp vpt,
int  flags 
)
virtual

This method displays the shape's generated mesh if necessary.

Objects derived from ShapeObject will want to have the ShapeObject code display the rendering mesh in the viewport; this method will do that for them. Simply set the viewport transform and call this method. An example from the SplineShape code: int SplineShape::Display(TimeValue t, INode inode, ViewExp vpt, int flags)

{

Eval(t);

GraphicsWindow *gw = vpt->getGW();

gw->setTransform(inode->GetObjectTM(t));

ShapeObject::Display(t, inode, vpt, flags);

...

}

If the ShapeObject's "Display Render Mesh" switch is off, it will do nothing. Otherwise, it will display the proper mesh as specified by its parameter block.

Parameters
tThe time to display the object.
inodeThe node to display.
vptAn interface pointer that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.
flagsSee Display Flags.
Returns
The return value is not currently used.

Reimplemented from BaseObject.

virtual CoreExport int HitTest ( TimeValue  t,
INode inode,
int  type,
int  crossing,
int  flags,
IPoint2 p,
ViewExp vpt 
)
virtual

This method is called to determine if the specified screen point intersects the item.

The method returns nonzero if the item was hit; otherwise 0.

Parameters
tThe time to perform the hit test.
inodeA pointer to the node to test.
typeThe type of hit testing to perform. See Scene and Node Hit Test Types. for details.
crossingThe state of the crossing setting. If TRUE crossing selection is on.
flagsThe hit test flags. See Scene and Node Hit Testing Flags for details.
pThe screen point to test.
vptAn interface pointer that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.
Returns
Nonzero if the item was hit; otherwise 0.

virtual CoreExport int HitTest ( TimeValue  t,
INode inode,
int  type,
int  crossing,
int  flags,
IPoint2 p,
ViewExp vpt,
ModContext mc 
)
virtual

This method is used in modifier gizmo hit testing.

It is called to determine if the specified screen point intersects the gizmo. The method returns nonzero if the item was hit; otherwise 0.

Parameters
tThe time to perform the hit test.
inodeA pointer to the node to test.
typeThe type of hit testing to perform. See Scene and Node Hit Test Types. for details.
crossingThe state of the crossing setting. If TRUE crossing selection is on.
flagsThe hit test flags. See Scene and Node Hit Testing Flags for details.
pThe screen point to test.
vptAn interface pointer that may be used to call methods associated with the viewports.

virtual CoreExport Box3 GetBoundingBox ( TimeValue  t,
Matrix3 tm = NULL 
)
virtual

This method returns a bounding box for the shape, if it's active, if the "Display Render Mesh" switch is on.

It is necessary to include this box when computing the bounding box for a shape, otherwise the viewport display will not work properly.

Parameters
tThe time to get the bounding box.
tmThe points of ShapeObject are transformed by this matrix prior to the bounding box computations.
virtual CoreExport void InvalidateGeomCache ( )
virtual

This method is very important - It causes the ShapeObject to flush its cached rendering mesh.

Most objects have their own "InvalidateGeomCache" methods; simply call this when a shape derived from ShapeObject changes and it will ensure that the rendering mesh is regenerated the next time it is evaluated. Failure to call this method will result in improper rendering mesh updates.

Reimplemented in SplineShape, and LinearShape.
