Class INode, Modifier Stack Branching

Description:

This class provides a layer that will add in a transformation to the node's objectTM. Most methods pass through to the INode, except for the objectTM methods which pre-multiply in the given matrix. The methods of this class are the same as INode. See Class INode for details. Specifically see the methods related to INodeTransformed in INode - INodeTransformed methods. All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

Data Members:

INode *node;

The original INode pointer.

Matrix3 tm;

The additional transformation.

BOOL deleteMe;

If set to FALSE this INodeTransformed will not get deleted. This may be used if the object is not allocated dynamically. If you create an INodeTransformed on the stack you'll want to set deleteMe to FALSE.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

INodeTransformed()

INodeTransformed ( INode *  n, Matrix3  tm, BOOL  dm = TRUE  )

inline

{node = n;this->tm = tm;deleteMe = dm;}

Member Function Documentation

DisposeTemporary()

void DisposeTemporary ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Deletes this INodeTransformed.

Reimplemented from INode.

{node->DisposeTemporary(); if (deleteMe) DeleteINodeTransformed(this);}

GetActualINode()

INode* GetActualINode ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Returns the actual INode pointer of this INodeTransformed.

These functions are not part of this class but are available for use:

INodeTransformed can be allocated on the stack, but if you need to create one dynamically, use these methods to create and delete them.

Reimplemented from INode.

{return node->GetActualINode();}

GetName()

const MCHAR* GetName ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Returns the name of the node.

Implements INode.

{return node->GetName();}

SetName()

void SetName ( const MCHAR *  s )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Sets the name of the node.

Parameters

s	The name of the node.

Implements INode.

{node->SetName(s);}

GetNodeTM()

Matrix3 GetNodeTM ( TimeValue  t, Interval *  valid = NULL  )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method returns the world space transformation matrix of the node at the specified time. This matrix contains its parents transformation. This matrix does not include the object-offset transformation, or any world space modifier (Space Warp) affects. If you select a single node and change the reference coordinate system to 'Local', you'll see the node's axes tripod displayed. This tripod graphically depicts the nodes transformation matrix. The Node TM may be considered the world space transformation as far as kinematics is concerned. This is almost the complete world space transformation as far as the geometry of the object is concerned, except it does not include the object-offset transformation. See the method INode::GetObjectTM() for the complete world space transformation of the geometry of the object. The Node TM is inherited. When a node asks to retrieve its parents TM, it gets its parents Node TM. It does not get its parents Object TM. The object-offset transformation is not inherited.

Example

//Get the current position for the purpose of computing the next frame
//This function checks to see whether or not the node is a delegate, in which
//case the GetTM function  is called.
static Matrix3 GetCurrentMatrix(INode *node, TimeValue t)
{
    Object *o = node->GetObjectRef();
    if (o->ClassID() == DELEG_CLASSID) 
    {
        IDelegate *cd = (IDelegate *) o->GetInterface(I_DELEGINTERFACE);
        if (cd->IsComputing())
            return cd->GetTM(node,t);
    }
 
    return node->GetNodeTM(t);
}

Parameters

t	Specifies the time to retrieve the TM.
valid	Points to storage for the validity interval of the transformation matrix. The interval, if passed, is intersected with the validity interval of the NodeTM.

Returns

The node's world space transform matrix.

Implements INode.

{return node->GetNodeTM(t,valid);}

SetNodeTM()

void SetNodeTM ( TimeValue  t, const Matrix3 &  tm  )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This methods sets the node's world space transformation matrix (without the object-offset transformation or world space modifier affect). This method will perform the appropriate operation to the node's transform controller. For example, if the node has a parent, this method will take the parent's transformation into consideration when it calls SetValue() on the controller. This method can be used to set the world space position of the node.

Example

void MyArcDlgCB::Drag(Quat q, BOOL buttonUp) {
   Matrix3 tm;
   MakeMatrix(qstart*q, tm);
   node->SetNodeTM(ip->GetTime(), tm);
   ip->RedrawViews(ip->GetTime());
}

Parameters

t	Specifies the time to set the transformation matrix.
tm	The node's world space transformation matrix.

Implements INode.

{ node->SetNodeTM(t, m); }

InvalidateTreeTM()

void InvalidateTreeTM ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method will notify the node's subtree that the transformation matrix has changed. NotifyDependents() is called with the message REFMSG_CHANGE.

Implements INode.

{node->InvalidateTreeTM();}

InvalidateTM()

void InvalidateTM ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method will invalidate the node's transformation matrix cache.

Implements INode.

{node->InvalidateTM();}

InvalidateWS()

void InvalidateWS ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method will invalidate the node's world space cache.

Implements INode.

{node->InvalidateWS();}

InvalidateRect()

void InvalidateRect ( TimeValue  t, bool  oldRect  )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method invalidates the rectangle in the viewports that the node occupies. Rectangles flagged as invalid will be updated on the next screen redraw. Each node caches the rectangle in the viewports that the node occupies. These caches are updated when the node is drawn in the viewports.

Example

Parameters

t

- The time to invalidate the node's rectangle

oldRect

- If true, the cached viewport rectangles of the node are invalidated. This would be the case when a node property that doesn't affect the size or position of the node's viewport rectangles, such as wireframe color, is changed. Otherwise, the node's current rectangle in each viewport is invalidated. If the node's world space cache is not valid, the node's world state at time t will be evaluated, from which its current viewport rectangles are calculated.

Implements INode.

{ node->InvalidateRect(t,oldRect); }

GetObjectTM()

Matrix3 GetObjectTM ( TimeValue  time, Interval *  valid = NULL  )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method returns the transformation matrix the object needs to be multiplied by to transform it into world space. At times, this matrix may be the identity. For example, a deformable object that has a Space Warp applied to it would already have been translated into world space by the space warp. Since the object is already in world space the matrix needed to get it there is the identity. This matrix would not be the identity for a deformable object with only object space modifiers applied. This object would indeed need to be transformed. In this case the TM returned would include the NodeTM plus the object-offset transformation. So, GetObjectTM() is dependent on the context when it is called – it will either be equal to GetObjTMAfterWSM() or GetObjTMBeforeWSM(). Developers should use GetObjTMBeforeWSM() if what is wanted is the object TM and not the identity matrix. For non-deformable objects this matrix may include the NodeTM, the object-offset transformation and the world space modifier affect. This matrix could be used, for example, if you have a TriObject and wanted to get the world space coordinate of one of its vertices. You could do this by taking the vertex coordinate in object space and multiplying it by the matrix returned from this method. This matrix is also often used inside an object's Display() and HitTest() methods. When an object goes to draw itself (in its BaseObject::Display() method) it is given a node pointer. What the object normally does is use the node pointer and calls GetObjectTM(). It then takes the matrix returned and sets it into the graphics window (using GraphicsWindow::setTransform()). In this way, when the object starts drawing points in object space, they will be transformed with this matrix. This will transform the points into world space when they are drawn. The Object TM is not inherited.

Parameters

time	Specifies the time to retrieve the object's transform matrix.
valid	Points to storage for the validity interval of the transformation matrix.

Returns

The object's transformation matrix.

Implements INode.

{return tm*node->GetObjectTM(time,valid);}

GetObjTMBeforeWSM()

Matrix3 GetObjTMBeforeWSM ( TimeValue  time, Interval *  valid = NULL  )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method explicitly retrieves the pipeline ObjectState TM before any world space modifiers have been applied. This includes the node's TM and the object-offset transformation (but not any world space modifier affect). See the section on the Geometry Pipeline System for additional details on this method.

Parameters

time	Specifies the time to retrieve the transform matrix.
valid	Points to storage for the validity interval of the transformation matrix.

Implements INode.

{return tm*node->GetObjTMBeforeWSM(time,valid);}

GetObjTMAfterWSM()

Matrix3 GetObjTMAfterWSM ( TimeValue  time, Interval *  valid = NULL  )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method explicitly retrieves the pipeline ObjectState TM after any world space modifiers have been applied. This includes the Node TM, the object-offset transformation, and any world space modifier affects. In some cases a world space modifier can actually deform the TM itself if it cannot deform the object. Examples of this are cameras and lights. These objects do not have any 'object' to deform, so the space warp deforms the TM instead. See the section on the Geometry Pipeline System for additional details on this method. Note: Beware of calling this method from inside a function that performs a mesh traversal as doing so can invalidate the mesh.

Parameters

time	Specifies the time to retrieve the object's transform matrix.
valid	Points to storage for the validity interval of the transformation matrix.

Implements INode.

{return tm*node->GetObjTMAfterWSM(time,valid);}

EvalWorldState()

const ObjectState& EvalWorldState ( TimeValue  time, BOOL  evalHidden = TRUE  )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method should be called when a developer needs to work with an object that is the result of the node's pipeline. This is the object that the appears in the scene.

This may not be an object that anyone has a reference to - it may just be an object that has flowed down the pipeline. For example, if there is a Sphere in the scene that has a Bend and Taper applied, EvalWorldState() would return an ObjectState containing a TriObject. This is the result of the sphere turning into a TriObject and being bent and tapered (just as it appeared in the scene).

If a developer needs to access the object that the node in the scene references, then the method INode::GetObjectRef() should be used instead.

Parameters

time	Specifies the time to retrieve the object state.
evalHidden	If FALSE and the node is hidden, the pipeline will not actually be evaluated (however the TM will).

Returns

The ObjectState that is the result of the pipeline. See Class ObjectState.

// Get the object from the node
ObjectState os = node->EvalWorldState(ip->GetTime());
 
if (os.obj->SuperClassID()==GEOMOBJECT_CLASS_ID)
{
   obj = (GeomObject*)os.obj;
   //...
}

The following code shows how a TriObject can be retrieved from a node. Note on the code that if you call ConvertToType() on an object and it returns a pointer other than itself, you are responsible for deleting that object.

GetTMController()

Control* GetTMController ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Retrieves the node's transform controller. The standard 3ds Max transform controllers each have sub-controllers for position, rotation and scale. To access the data of the node's transform controller you may use Class IKeyControl. The following code fragment shows an example of how this may be done for a PRS controller.

Control *c;
c = node->GetTMController()->GetPositionController();
IKeyControl *ikeys = GetKeyControlInterface(c);

With this controller interface you can use its methods to get information about the keys. For example:

int num = ikeys->GetNumKeys();

Example

    // Pre-multiply in position, rotation, scale order
    TimeValue t = ip->GetTime();
    pos = node->GetTMController()->GetPositionController();
    pos->GetValue(t, &tmat, valid, CTRL_RELATIVE);
    rot = node->GetTMController()->GetRotationController();
    rot->GetValue(t, &tmat, valid, CTRL_RELATIVE);

NotifyRefChanged()

RefResult NotifyRefChanged ( const Interval &  changeInt, RefTargetHandle  hTarget, PartID &  partID, RefMessage  message, BOOL  propagate  )

inlinevirtual

Receives and responds to messages.

A plugin which makes references must implement a method to receive and respond to messages broadcast by its dependents. This is done by implementing NotifyRefChanged(). The plugin developer usually implements this method as a switch statement where each case is one of the messages the plugin needs to respond to. The Method StdNotifyRefChanged calls this, which can change the partID to new value. If it doesn't depend on the particular message& partID, it should return REF_DONTCARE.

• For developer that need to update a dialog box with data about an object you reference note the following related to this method: This method may be called many times. For instance, say you have a dialog box that displays data about an object you reference. This method will get called many time during the drag operations on that object. If you updated the display every time you'd wind up with a lot of 'flicker' in the dialog box. Rather than updating the dialog box each time, you should just invalidate the window in response to the NotifyRefChanged() call. Then, as the user drags the mouse your window will still receive paint messages. If the scene is complex the user may have to pause (but not let up on the mouse) to allow the paint message to go through since they have a low priority. This is the way many windows in 3ds Max work.

Parameters

changeInt	- This is the interval of time over which the message is active. Currently, all plug-ins will receive FOREVER for this interval, with the exception of REFMSG_FLAGDEPENDENTS notifications. In that case, changeInt.Start() is the timepoint to perform the dependency test.
hTarget	- This is the handle of the reference target the message was sent by. The reference maker uses this handle to know specifically which reference target sent the message.
partID	- This contains information specific to the message passed in. Some messages don't use the partID at all. See the section List of Reference Messages for more information about the meaning of the partID for some common messages.
message	- The message parameters passed into this method is the specific message which needs to be handled.
propagate	- If called through ReferenceMaker::NotifyDependents(), the value of 'propagate' passed to it. Used if calling NotifyDependents() from within NotifyRefChanged().

Returns

The return value from this method is of type RefResult. This is usually REF_SUCCEED indicating the message was processed. Sometimes, the return value may be REF_STOP. This return value is used to stop the message from being propagated to the dependents of the item.

Implements ReferenceMaker.

                                                            {return REF_SUCCEED;}

Parameters

s	Reference to a string filled in with the name of the plugin class.
localized	If true, then the class name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the class name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the class name in English.

Reimplemented from ReferenceTarget.
