Class SpecialFX, Class PBBitmap, Class ISave, Class ILoad, Reference Messages, Render Elements

Description:

This is the interface that must be supported by all render elements whether they support the 3ds Max renderer or some other renderer. The UI in the render dialog uses this interface exclusively to control the element.

The methods are almost all state-setting methods, with ones that are settable by the UI provided by both sets and gets. A sample plugin of a Render Element can be found in the SDK samples; /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/RENDER/RENDERELEMENTS.

Member Function Documentation

SetEnabled()

virtual void SetEnabled ( BOOL  enabled )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method enables or disables the Render Element.

Parameters:

BOOL enabled

Set to TRUE in order to enable the Render Element. FALSE to disable it.

IsEnabled()

virtual BOOL IsEnabled ( ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method returns TRUE if the Render Element is enabled, otherwise FALSE.

SetFilterEnabled()

virtual void SetFilterEnabled ( BOOL  filterEnabled )

pure virtual

Remarks

Each active render element has the option of either using the current AA filter or simple blending within the pixel. This method will set the internal filter enable to the value of parameter filterEnabled.

Parameters:

BOOL filterEnabled

Set to TRUE in order to enable. FALSE to disable it.

IsFilterEnabled()

virtual BOOL IsFilterEnabled ( ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method returns the current state of whether the AA filter is enabled.

Parameters:

This method returns TRUE if filters for the Render Element are enabled, otherwise FALSE.

BlendOnMultipass()

virtual BOOL BlendOnMultipass ( ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method returns whether this element type should be blended during multipass effects.

When multipass camera effects such as depth of field are used in a rendering, each of the separate elements may be blended into a final bitmap like the composite color, or they may be "frozen" after the first pass. Blending is not appropriate for some elements, like z-depth. This is typically a query only, it is unlikely that this will need to be turned on & off.

Returns

TRUE if blending during multipass effects, otherwise FALSE.

AtmosphereApplied()

virtual BOOL AtmosphereApplied ( ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method returns TRUE if atmospheric effects for the Render Element are enabled, otherwise FALSE.

Implemented in MaxBakeElement.

ShadowsApplied()

virtual BOOL ShadowsApplied ( ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method returns TRUE if shadows for the Render Element are enabled, otherwise FALSE.

Implemented in MaxBakeElement.

SetElementName()

virtual void SetElementName ( const MCHAR *  newName )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method sets the Render Element's name as it appears in the render dialog.

Parameters:

MCHAR* newName;

The name for the Render Element.

ElementName()

virtual const MCHAR * ElementName ( ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method returns a string representing the Render Element's name as it appears in the render dialog.

SetPBBitmap()

virtual void SetPBBitmap ( PBBitmap *&  pPBBitmap ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method allows you to set the bitmapinfo/bitmap to use for the Render Element.

Each render element has an output bitmap. We use the pb2 style bitmap as it contains the pathname as well as the bitmap & bitmapInfo structures needed by windows. The bitmap is created by the render element manager, then held by the element until it's not needed. These are the calls that set & get the elements bitmap.

Parameters:

PBBitmap* &pPBBitmap

The pointer to the PBBitmap reference.

GetPBBitmap()

virtual void GetPBBitmap ( PBBitmap *&  pPBBitmap ) const

pure virtual

Remarks

This method allows you to get the bitmapinfo/bitmap that is used for the Render Element.

Parameters:

PBBitmap* &pPBBitmap

The pointer to the PBBitmap reference which was retrieved.

CreateParamDialog()

virtual IRenderElementParamDlg * CreateParamDialog ( IRendParams *  ip )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Each render element may define a rollup that will be displayed in the render dialog when that element is selected. Most current render elements do not provide their own rollups, but some like z-depth and blend do. This method creates the elements parameter rollup and return it's pointer to the system. If no rollup is supported, NULL should be returned.

Parameters:

IRendParams *ip

A pointer to the IRendParams data.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL; }

Reimplemented from SpecialFX.

{ return NULL; }

SetDlgThing()

virtual BOOL SetDlgThing ( IRenderElementParamDlg *  dlg )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

Implement this method if you are using the ParamMap2 AUTO_UI system and the IRenderElement has secondary dialogs that don't have the IRenderElement as their 'thing'. Called once for each secondary dialog, for you to install the correct 'thing'. This method will set the "thing" of a secondary dialog.

Parameters:

IRenderElementParamDlg* dlg

The pointer to the parameter dialog.

Returns

TRUE if you process the dialog, otherwise FALSE.

Default Implementation:

{ return FALSE; };

Reimplemented from SpecialFX.

{ return FALSE; }

Save()

IOResult Save ( ISave *  iSave )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method handles saving the plugin data. it is critical for merging that this code is called at the start of a plug-in's save and load methods. SpecialFX's base implementation saves/loads SpecialFX::name, which is used to populate the 'Merge Render Elements' dialog box. if a plugin re-implements this function, it should first call RenderElement::Save(iSave) or IRenderElement::Load(iLoad)

Parameters:

ISave *iSave

You may use this pointer to call methods of ISave to write data.

Returns

One of the following values: IO_OK, IO_ERROR.

Default Implementation:

{

name = ElementName();

return SpecialFX::Save(iSave);

}

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

    {
        name = ElementName();
        return SpecialFX::Save(iSave);
    }

Load()

IOResult Load ( ILoad *  iLoad )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method handles loading the plugin data. It is critical for merging that this code is called at the start of a plug-in's save and load methods. SpecialFX's base implementation saves/loads SpecialFX::name, which is used to populate the 'Merge Render Elements' dialog box. if a plugin re-implements this function, it should first call RenderElement::Save(iSave) or IRenderElement::Load(iLoad)

Parameters:

ILoad *iLoad

You may use this pointer to call methods of ILoad to read data.

Returns

One of the following values: IO_OK, IO_ERROR.

Default Implementation:

{ return SpecialFX::Load(iLoad); }

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

    {
        return SpecialFX::Load(iLoad);
    }

NotifyRefChanged()

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

inlinevirtual

Remarks

A plug-in which makes references must implement this method to receive and respond to messages broadcast by its dependents.

Parameters:

const Interval& changeInt

This is the interval of time over which the message is active. Currently, all plug-ins will receive FOREVER for this interval.

RefTargetHandle 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& partID

This contains information specific to the message passed in. Some messages don't use the partID at all. See Reference Messages and PartID for more information about the meaning of the partID for some common messages.

RefMessage message

The message parameters passed into this method is the specific message which needs to be handled. See Reference Messages. BOOL 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.

Default Implementation:

{ return REF_SUCCEED; }

Implements ReferenceMaker.

{ return REF_SUCCEED; }

SuperClassID()

SClass_ID SuperClassID ( )

inlinevirtual

Remarks

This method returns the plugin's SuperClass ID.

Default Implementation:

{ return RENDER_ELEMENT_CLASS_ID; }

Reimplemented from ReferenceTarget.

Reimplemented in MaxBakeElement.

{ return RENDER_ELEMENT_CLASS_ID; }

GetInterface()

virtual void * GetInterface ( ULONG  id )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is being used as a general extension method in 3dw max. The Render Elements use it to get the interface for a specific renderer's element interface. The renderer will call this method to see if an IRenderElement is compatible with it. By asking for a specific renderer interface, the element can either provide the interface, or return NULL. If NULL is returned, then this element will not be available for this renderer. Note that this strategy allows a single render element to support more than one renderer. The max default renderer iid is in /MAXSDK/INCLUDE/renderElements.h and is defined as 0xeffeeffe, accessed through MaxRenderElement::IID.

Parameters:

ULONG id

Currently this is not used and is reserved for future use.

Reimplemented from ReferenceTarget.

Implemented in MaxRenderElement, MaxBakeElement, MaxBakeElement, MaxBakeElement8, MaxBakeElement8, MaxBakeElement8, MaxBakeElement10, MaxBakeElement10, MaxBakeElement10, MaxRenderElement, MaxBakeElement, MaxBakeElement8, and MaxBakeElement10.

ReleaseInterface()

virtual void ReleaseInterface ( ULONG  id, void *  i  )

pure virtual

Remarks

This method is not currently used. It is reserved for future use. Its purpose is for releasing an interface created with GetInterface().

Reimplemented from Animatable.

Implemented in MaxRenderElement, and MaxBakeElement.
