Detailed Description

Interface for the 3ds Max OSL global interface.

This interface exposes methods that are not related to a particular OSL Map.

To retrieve the interface, use GetCOREInterface(id):

#define MAXOSL_GLOBAL_INTERFACE
Interface ID for the 3ds Max OSL global interface.
Definition: MaxOSLInterface.h:26
Interface for the 3ds Max OSL global interface.
Definition: MaxOSLInterface.h:174
CoreExport Interface * GetCOREInterface()

This points to a global static singleton, so it only needs to be retrieved once.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetINodePropertyManager()

virtual INodePropertyManager* GetINodePropertyManager ( )
pure virtual

Get the INodePropertyManager.

Returns the INodePropertyManager.

This points to a global static singleton, so it only needs to be retrieved once.

Class INodePropertyManager

◆ GetOSLMap()

virtual Texmap* GetOSLMap ( Texmap tex,
const char **  output = nullptr 
)
pure virtual

Returns the OSLMap instance and (optionally) its output name.

3ds Max shading system does not inherently understand shaders with multiple outputs, and injects a hidden "Map Output Selector" behind every multi-output shader. This is hidden by the SME as a blue connection wire. But to be able to easily untangle this when connecting back Texmap inputs to a given output of an "OSL Map", this helper function allows one to get the map, and its output, based on a Texmap pointer.

Returns
Pointer to an OSL Map, or NULL if not an OSL Map

When the incoming Texmap is either a pointer to a "OSL Map" or a "Map Output Selector", the returned value will be the actual "OSL Map" plus (optionally, if output is non-NULL) the name of the output the Texmap is connected to on that "OSL Map".

The return value is NULL if the map pointed to by tex is not an "OSL Map", or the texture found behind the "Map Output Selector" is not an "OSL Map".

This function is useful when building an OSL tree representation in a 3rd party renderer. You walk the connected texmaps of a MtlBase object, and use this function to know if this input is connected to an OSL Map, and if so, which output it is connected to.

The NULL return will indicate that the connection does not terminate in an "OSL Map", and will have to be treated differently (or rejected).

When a renderer wants to use its own OSL implementation, this function is used in conjunction with IOSLMapInterface::GetParameters to achieve this.

◆ GetUString()

virtual const char* GetUString ( const char *  ) const
pure virtual

Returns the ustring token version of a string.

OSL code internally uses ustrings, which is a unique string class. The beauty of ustring is that once a given string been turned into a ustring, the same string will always return the same pointer.

Pass a string to this function, and get back the ustring version of that string, converted to a const char pointer (so as not to have to expose the ustring class to the interface).

This pointer is guaranteed to be the same for the same string, and hence string-compares can be relegated to pointer compares.
