Detailed Description

This interface provides access to the node's geometry pipeline, transform and whole world state validity intervals.

Client code can retrieve this interface from an INode instance as follows:

INode* node; // variable that points to a node in the scene
INodeValidity *nodeValidity = static_cast<INodeValidity*>(node->GetInterface(NODEVALIDITY_INTERFACE));
#define NODEVALIDITY_INTERFACE

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetObValid()

virtual Interval GetObValid ( )
pure virtual

Returns the cached validity interval of the node's geometry pipeline, including world space modifiers.

Calling this method does not cause an evaluation of the node's geometry pipeline.

◆ GetWSValid()

virtual Interval GetWSValid ( )
pure virtual

Returns the cached validity interval of the node's world state, which includes the validity of its geometry pipeline, transform, material and visibility controller.

Calling this method does not cause an evaluation of the node's transform.

◆ GetTMValid()

virtual Interval GetTMValid ( )
pure virtual

Returns the cached validity interval of the node's transform controller.

Calling this method does not cause an evaluation of the node's transform.

◆ GetID()

Interface_ID GetID ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method returns the unique interface ID.

Reimplemented from BaseInterface.

45{ return NODEVALIDITY_INTERFACE; }

◆ LifetimeControl()

LifetimeType LifetimeControl ( )
inlinevirtual
Remarks
This method allows inquiries into the actual lifetime policy of a client and provide a server-controlled delete notify callback.
Returns
One of the following LifetimeTypes:

noRelease

Do not call release, use interface as long as you like. This is the default.

immediateRelease

The interface is only good for one call. The release is implied so a call to release is not required.

wantsRelease

The clients are controlling the lifetime, so the interface needs a Release() when the client has finished.

serverControlled

The server controls the lifetime and will use the InterfaceNotifyCallback to inform the code when it is gone.
Default Implementation:
{ return noRelease; }

Reimplemented from BaseInterface.

46{ return wantsRelease; }
@ wantsRelease
Definition: baseinterface.h:104

◆ DeleteInterface()

void DeleteInterface ( )
pure virtual
Remarks
This method can be used as a direct interface delete request.
Default Implementation:
{ }

Reimplemented from BaseInterface.
