: Class RadiosityEffect

Description:

This class is only available in release 5 or later.

This class provides access to the Advanced Lighting dialog. It allows you to open and close the dialog, and get or set the currently active Advanced Lighting plug-in. This class is a function-published static interface; you can use GetCOREInterface() to obtain an instance of the class, as follows:

RadiosityInterface r = static_cast<IRadiosityInterface*>(GetCOREInterface(RADIOSITY_INTERFACE))

This interface is also accessible via MAXScript as "<b>SceneRadiosity</b>".

All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void OpenRadiosityPanel ( )

pure virtual

Displays the Advanced Lighting dialog, unless it is already displayed.

virtual void CloseRadiosityPanel ( )

pure virtual

Hides the Advanced Lighting dialog, if it is currently displayed.

virtual void MinimizeRadiosityPanel ( )

pure virtual

Minimizes the Advanced Lighting dialog if it is open.

virtual RadiosityEffect* GetRadiosity ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the radiosity in the scene.

Returns

Returns a pointer to the currently active Advanced Lighting plug-in (RadiosityEffect) if any.

virtual void SetRadiosity ( RadiosityEffect *  op )

pure virtual

Set the radiosity in the scene.

Sets the given Advanced Lighting plug-in (RadiosityEffect) as the active one in the UI. When switching Advanced Lighting types in the UI, a dialog sometimes appears, warning that the current lighting solution will be discarded; but this dialog is not displayed when using SetRadiosity(). It is also valid to pass NULL as a parameter, in which case no active lighting plug-in will be active.

Parameters

op	- The RadiosityEffect instance to be made active, or NULL if no lighting plug-in should be active.
