Detailed Description

See also
Class Object, Class ModContext, Class Modifier, Class INode, Geometry Pipeline System.

Description:
This class provides an interface into derived objects. Methods of this class are provided so developers can access the modifier stack, add and delete modifiers, etc. All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

To use this interface you must #include the following file:

#include "modstack.h"

To get an IDerivedObject pointer from the pipeline of a node in the scene first retrieve the object reference using INode::GetOjbectRef(). Given this Object pointer check its SuperClassID to see if it is GEN_DERIVOB_CLASS_ID. If it is, you can cast it to an IDerivedObject.

Note: The following functions are not part of class IDerivedObject but are available for use in conjunction with its methods.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddModifier()

virtual void AddModifier ( Modifier mod,
ModContext mc = NULL,
int  before = 0 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
Adds a modifier to this derived object.
Parameters:
Modifier *mod

The modifier to add.

ModContext *mc=NULL

The mod context for the modifier.

int before=0

If this value is set to 0 then the modifier will be placed at the end of the pipeline (top of stack). If this value is set to NumModifiers() then the modifier will be placed at the start of the pipeline (bottom of stack).

◆ DeleteModifier()

virtual void DeleteModifier ( int  index = 0)
pure virtual
Remarks
Deletes the specified modifier from the stack.
Parameters:
int index=0

The index of the modifier to delete.

◆ NumModifiers()

virtual int NumModifiers ( )
pure virtual
Remarks
Returns the number of modifiers this derived object has.

◆ GetObjRef()

virtual Object * GetObjRef ( )
pure virtual
Remarks
Gets the object that this derived object references. This is the next object down in the stack and may be the base object.
Returns
The object that this derived object references.

◆ ReferenceObject()

virtual RefResult ReferenceObject ( Object pob)
pure virtual
Remarks
Sets the object that this derived object references. This is the next object down in the stack and may be the base object.
Parameters:
Object *pob

The object that this derived object should reference.
Returns
One of the following values:

REF_SUCCEED

REF_FAIL

◆ GetModifier()

virtual Modifier * GetModifier ( int  index)
pure virtual
Remarks
Returns the modifier specified by the index.
Parameters:
int index

The index of the modifier to return.

◆ SetModifier()

virtual void SetModifier ( int  index,
Modifier mod 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method replaces the modifier in the stack whose index is passed.
Parameters:
int index

The index of the modifier in the stack.

Modifier *mod

The modifier that will replace it.

◆ GetModContext()

virtual ModContext * GetModContext ( int  index)
pure virtual
Remarks
Returns the ModContext of the specified modifier.
Parameters:
int index

The index of the modifier in the stack.

◆ Eval()

virtual ObjectState Eval ( TimeValue  t,
int  modIndex = 0 
)
pure virtual
Remarks
This method is available in release 4.0 and later only.

This method allows you to evaluate the pipeline starting with a specific modifier index. Prior to version 4.0 you had to turn all the modApps off, evaluate and then turn them on again. Now this can be easily done by specifying the modifier index.
Parameters:
TimeValue t

Specifies the time to evaluate the object.

int modIndex = 0

The index of the modifier.
Returns
The result of evaluating the object as an ObjectState.

◆ NotifyTarget()

CoreExport void NotifyTarget ( int  msg,
RefMakerHandle  rm 
)

◆ GetInterface() [1/3]

virtual CoreExport void * GetInterface ( ULONG  id)
virtual
Remarks
This method provides a mechanism for extending the class in the future. In 3ds Max 4.0 there are new interfaces that are accessed by passing an id to this method and it will respond by returning the corresponding interface pointer.

This method has been used however for a different purpose. It currently is used to determine if an object is of a particular class. With controllers for example, there is one base class Control, however there are many super classes (CTRL_FLOAT_CLASS_ID, CTRL_SCALE_CLASS_ID, etc.). If you wanted to find out if a given Animatable was a controller you would need to compare its SuperClassID to all the known types and only if it wasn't one of the known types could you be sure it wasn't a controller. Having to do this is inconvenient for a developer.

Instead the Control class implements this method. It looks at the id, and if it matches a predefined constant I_CONTROL, it returns its this pointer. In this way, given any Animatable, it is easy to find out if it is a controller by simply asking for the control interface. There is a macro that does this:

#define GetControlInterface(anim)
Definition: control.h:1055
virtual CoreExport void * GetInterface(ULONG id)
#define I_CONTROL
An Animatable supporting this interface is a Control.
Definition: AnimatableInterfaceIDs.h:33
A plug-in developer may use this macro as follows:

Control *c = GetControlInterface(anim);

This will either be NULL or a pointer to a valid controller.

Note: Plug-in defined interfaces should be greater than the following value:

#define I_USERINTERFACE 0x0000ffff

If a plug-in implements this method for its own purposes, it would, in general, switch on the id and if it is not aware of the id it would call this method on the base class. Otherwise it could respond to the id as it needed. See the sample code below for the how the Control class implements this method.
Parameters
idThe id of the interface.
Default Implementation:
{ return NULL; }
Sample Code:
The following is the Control class implementation of this method. It looks at the id passed, and if it matches I_CONTROL it returns its this pointer. Otherwise it calls the base class method.

void* Control::GetInterface(ULONG id)
{
if (id==I_CONTROL) {
return this;
}
else {
}
}

◆ GetInterface() [2/3]

CoreExport void * GetInterface ( ULONG  id)
overridevirtual
Remarks
This method provides a mechanism for extending the class in the future. In 3ds Max 4.0 there are new interfaces that are accessed by passing an id to this method and it will respond by returning the corresponding interface pointer.

This method has been used however for a different purpose. It currently is used to determine if an object is of a particular class. With controllers for example, there is one base class Control, however there are many super classes (CTRL_FLOAT_CLASS_ID, CTRL_SCALE_CLASS_ID, etc.). If you wanted to find out if a given Animatable was a controller you would need to compare its SuperClassID to all the known types and only if it wasn't one of the known types could you be sure it wasn't a controller. Having to do this is inconvenient for a developer.

Instead the Control class implements this method. It looks at the id, and if it matches a predefined constant I_CONTROL, it returns its this pointer. In this way, given any Animatable, it is easy to find out if it is a controller by simply asking for the control interface. There is a macro that does this:

#define GetControlInterface(anim)

◆ GetInterface() [3/3]

CoreExport BaseInterface * GetInterface ( Interface_ID  id)
overridevirtual
Remarks
Returns a pointer to the Base Interface for the interface ID passed. The default implementation of this method retrieves this information from the ClassDesc for the plug-in.

Any future object-based interfaces should be allocated unique Interface_IDs (you can use Gencid.exe for this) and made available through this call.

The default implementation of GetInterface(Interface_ID) looks up a standalone interface of the given ID on the object's ClassDesc. This gives access to standalone interfaces via any of a plug-in's objects, without having to dig around for the ClassDesc, so you should fall back to calling the default implementation if you don't recognize an ID in your implementation of GetInterface(Interface_ID).
Parameters
idThe unique ID of the interface to get. See Class Interface_ID.
