Detailed Description

See also
Class Mtl, Class RenderInstance.

Description:
This class provides interface methods used to support indirect material referencing and enhanced face / material associations. Generally, these methods will need to be implemented by the plug-in using them and cannot be called from a standard library, since the information required is intimately associated with the geometry of the object.

All methods of this class are virtual.

Member Function Documentation

◆ SupportsParticleIDbyFace()

virtual BOOL SupportsParticleIDbyFace ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
Returns TRUE if the object can associate a particle number with a face number, and FALSE if not.
Default Implementation:
{ return FALSE; }
46 { return FALSE; }

◆ GetParticleFromFace()

virtual int GetParticleFromFace ( int  faceID)
inlinevirtual
Remarks
Returns the particle to which the face identified by faceID belongs.
Parameters:
int faceID

The ID of the face.
Default Implementation:
{ return 0; }
57 { return 0; }

◆ SupportsIndirMtlRefs()

virtual BOOL SupportsIndirMtlRefs ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
Returns TRUE if the object can return a material pointer given a face being rendered, and FALSE if the object will be associated for that render pass with only the material applied to the node.
Default Implementation:
{ return FALSE; }
68 { return FALSE; }

◆ NumberOfMtlsUsed()

virtual int NumberOfMtlsUsed ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
Returns the number of different materials used on the object. This number is used in enumerating the different materials via the methods GetNthMtl() and GetNthMaxMtlID() below.
Default Implementation:
{ return 0; }

the following methods are meaningful.
80 { return 0; }

◆ GetNthMtl()

virtual Mtl* GetNthMtl ( int  n)
inlinevirtual
Remarks
If the method SupportsIndirMtlRefs() above returns TRUE then this method returns the different materials used on the object.
Parameters:
int n

The zero based index of the material used on the object.
Returns

Default Implementation:
{ return NULL; }
92 { return NULL; }
#define NULL
Definition: autoptr.h:18

◆ GetNthMaxMtlID()

virtual int GetNthMaxMtlID ( int  n)
inlinevirtual
Remarks
If the method SupportsIndirMtlRefs() above returns TRUE then this method returns the maximum material ID number used with the specified material on the object
Parameters:
int n

The zero based index of the material.
Default Implementation:
{ return 0; }
103 { return 0; }

◆ GetMaterialFromFace()

virtual Mtl* GetMaterialFromFace ( int  faceID)
inlinevirtual
Remarks
If the method SupportsIndirMtlRefs() above returns TRUE then this method returns a pointer to the material associated with the face identified by faceID.
Parameters:
int faceID

The ID of the face to check.
Default Implementation:
{ return NULL; }
115 { return NULL; }
