// This plug-in implementation shows the usage of MPxShaderOverride for a Maya
// shader node which can be assigned to particle sprites for customized shading.
//
// The purpose is to demonstrate how to define, connect and debug shader fragments
// using C++ API or XML schema for shading fragments in plug-ins, and in particular
// how to define and connect a geometry shader fragment. In this case the plug-in
// will create a shader instance from a fragment graph whose connections, properties,
// values and outputs are defined in XML and connect it with a geometry shader
// fragment using MShaderInstance::addInputFragment().
//
// Because the shader instance is generated from shader fragments, the lighting
// fragments can be connected to the shader instance in order to allow the shader
// to work with maya lights. For more details please see the documentation for
// MPxSurfaceShadingNodeOverride.
//
// An implementation of color management on the input texture is also built into
// customFileTextureOutputColor.xml, which is to show how maya converts texture
// color from sRGB space to linear space. The implementation depends on input
// color space and may vary according to needs, e.g. plug-ins can also choose
// GPU linearization instead of a shader method.
//
// Transparency notification is handled by setting MPxShaderOverride::isTransparent()
// virtual method return value appropriately as needed. The support for advanced
// transparency algorithms, such as depth peeling and weighted average, are also
// handled by returning true for MPxShaderOverride::supportsAdvancedTransparency()
// and checking specific pass semantics in MPxShaderOverride::handlesDraw().
//
// The code also demonstrates handling of non-textured drawing by providing another
// MShaderInstance to be returned from MPxShaderOverride::nonTexturedShaderInstance().
// It will also handle transparency by appropriately setting the shader instance
// transparency hint using MShaderInstance::setIsTransparent().
//
// (De)registration is shown as part of plug-in (de)initialization, noting that
// the MPxShaderOverride association to the MPxNode node is achieved by supplying
// the same "drawdb/shader" classification for both registration interfaces.
//
// For debugging shader fragments, the final effect source of the shader instance
// can be written to disk using MShaderInstance::writeEffectSourceToFile() and
// can be used to create another shader instance for being bound to a draw context.
// In case of failure, shader compilation errors can be either displayed in Script
// Editor during binding or queried from MShaderManager::getLastError() afterwards.
//
// customSpriteShader.mel is provided for easier testing, which creates some
// particle sprites with random scale and twist, and then assign them with
// customSpriteShader.
//
// The plugin assumes that the devkit location follows "Setting up your build
// environment" at Maya Developer Help; otherwise, shaders/textures cannot be
// located. In this case create a mod (module description file) as below in a
// suitable modules folder (getenv "MAYA_MODULE_PATH") and restart Maya.
