Interface: NitrousGraphicsManager

General Nitrous Access

<IObject>NitrousGraphicsManager.GetActiveViewportSetting()

Returns a <IObject:ViewportViewSettingImpl> object which exposes the Interface to access the settings of the active viewport.

See further of this page for details.

<IObject>NitrousGraphicsManager.GetViewportSetting <integer>index

Returns a <IObject:ViewportViewSettingImpl> object which exposes the settings of the specified indexed viewport.

The parameter used to be 0-based in previous versions, it is 1-based in 3ds Max 2014 and higher.

See further of this page for details.

<IObject>NitrousGraphicsManager.GetSelectionSetting() 

Returns a <IObject:SelectionEffectImpl> object which exposes the general viewport selection settings..

See further of this page for details.

<IObject>NitrousGraphicsManager.GetWorldSetting()

Returns a <IObject:WorldSettingImpl> object which exposes the world optimization settings.

See further of this page for details.

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.IsEnabled() 

Returns True if the Nitrous Graphics system is enabled, False otherwise.

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.ProgressiveRendering()

Triggers progressive rendering.

Returns True on success, False of failure.

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.IsProgressiveRenderingFinished()

Returns True of the progressive refinement for the current frame has finished, False otherwise.

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.API()

Returns the driver type used by the viewport, where:

• 1=DX9
• 2=DX10
• 3=DX11
• 4=DX11 with WARP
• 5=OpenGL

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.IsProgressiveRenderingFinished()

Returns True of the progressive refinement for the current frame has finished, False otherwise.

Texture Size Settings

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.SetTextureSizeLimit <integer>sizeLimit <bool>enabled

Sets the Nitrous Graphics System's texture size limit.

The first argument specifies the texture size limit in pixels.

The second argument controls the enabled state of the texture size limit - when passed as True, the limit will be enabled, when passed as False, it will be disabled.

Returns True on success, False on failure.

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.SetBackgroundTextureSizeLimit <integer>sizeLimit <bool>enabled

Sets the Nitrous Graphics System's background texture size limit.

The first argument specifies the texture size limit in pixels.

The second argument controls the enabled state of the texture size limit - when passed as True, the limit will be enabled, when passed as False, it will be disabled.

Returns True on success, False on failure.

<void>NitrousGraphicsManager.SetProceduralTextureSizeLimit <integer>sizeLimit

Sets the maximum procedural texture size to the specified limit value.

Procedural textures have to be rendered as 2D bitmaps before they can be displayed in the viewport. This method lets you limit the size of these bitmaps to avoid running out of graphics card memory when working in scenes with many procedural textures.

<void>NitrousGraphicsManager.ForceDisableMipMapGeneration <bool>bDisable

When the argument is passed as True, this method will disable the MipMap generation of viewport textures. When passed as False, the MipMapping will be enabled.

MipMapping creates multiple resolutions of the same texture and looks up texels in the one whose resolution most closely matches the pixel distance in the viewport to avoid artefacts.

But the multiple resolutions of the MipMap require 33% more memory than a single high-resolution version of the same texture.

Thus, turning MipMap Generation off can save significant amounts of graphics card memory at cost of texture display quality.

Application Window Size and Position

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.SetAppWindowSize <integer>width <integer>height

Sets the 3ds Max application window size to the given width and height arguments.

Note that this will affect the 3ds Max window even if it is Maximized.

Returns True on success, False of failure.

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.SetAppWindowPos <integer>x <integer>y

Sets the position of the upper left corner of the 3ds Max application window to the given x and y coordinates in desktop space.

Note that this will affect the 3ds Max window even if it is Maximized.

Returns True on success, False of failure.

<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.PinViewPanelSize <integer>width <integer>height    
<bool>NitrousGraphicsManager.UnpinViewPanelSize()

These methods are for internal use only.

.ReflectionEnabled=on .DynamicReflectionEnabled=on		When both properties are on, both Environment Reflection Maps and Scene Objects will be reflected. No reflections of reflections will be calculated though. Reflections will look correct only on curved surfaces.
