Classes

struct  ConsolidationData
 This a structure that holds parameters used for render item consolidation. More...
 
class  RenderItemHandle
 This is the base wrapper class for all viewport render items. More...
 

Namespaces

 MaxSDK
 
 MaxSDK::Graphics
 
 MaxSDK::Graphics::ViewportInstancing
 This API is about having a single INode in the scene, but having many geometries being instantiated at the GPU level in the viewport when the INode is drawn, e.g : a particles system.
 

Enumerations

enum  ZBiasPresets { ZBiasPresets_Default = -1 , ZBiasPresets_Shaded = 0 , ZBiasPresets_Wireframe = 1 , ZBiasPresets_Gizmo = 2 }
 
enum  RenderItemVisibilityGroup { RenderItemVisible_Unknown , RenderItemVisible_Shaded , RenderItemVisible_Wireframe , RenderItemVisible_Gizmo }
 This enum defines in what group a render item is visible. More...
