◆ Clone()

RefTargetHandle Clone ( RemapDir remap)
overridevirtual

This method is used by 3ds Max to clone an object.

See also
CloneRefHierarchy(), class RemapDir This method is called by 3ds Max to have the plugin clone itself. The plug-in's implementation of this method should copy both the data structure and all the data residing in the data structure of this reference target. The plugin should clone all its references as well. Also, the plug-in's implementation of this method must call BaseClone(). In order for classes derived from this class to clone cleanly, the Clone method should just create the new instance, and then call an implementation of BaseClone that clones the references and copies any other necessary data. For example:
class MyDerivedPlugin
: public MyBasePlugin
{
const int MY_REFERENCE = 1;
ReferenceTarget* Clone(RemapDir& remap)
{
ReferenceTarget* result = new MyDerivedPlugin();
BaseClone(this, result, remap);
return result;
}
void BaseClone(ReferenceTarget* from, ReferenceTarget* to, RemapDir& remap)
{
if (!to || !from || from == to)
return;
MyBasePlugin::BaseClone(from, to, remap);
to->ReplaceReference(MY_REFERENCE, remap->CloneRef(from->GetReference(MY_REFERENCE)));
}
};
virtual CoreExport RefTargetHandle GetReference(int i)
Returns the 'i-th' reference.
CoreExport RefResult ReplaceReference(int which, RefTargetHandle newtarg, BOOL delOld=TRUE)
Used when cloning reference makers.
A scene entity that is being owned and listened to by other scene entities.
Definition: ref.h:1849
For remapping references during a Clone.
Definition: ref.h:830
virtual RefTargetHandle CloneRef(RefTargetHandle oldTarg)
Creates a clone of a reference target only if it hasn't been cloned already.

This method should not be directly called by plug-ins. Instead, either RemapDir::CloneRef() or CloneRefHierachy() should be used to perform cloning. These methods ensure that the mapping from the original object to the clone is added to the RemapDir used for cloning, which may be used during backpatch operations

Note
See the remarks in method BaseClone() below.
Parameters
remap- A RemapDir instance used for remapping references during a Clone.
Returns
A pointer to the cloned item.

Reimplemented from ReferenceTarget.

Reimplemented in MSShapeXtnd.

◆ IsRenderable()

int IsRenderable ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Indicates whether the object may be rendered.

Some objects such as construction grids and helpers should not be rendered and can return zero.

Returns
Nonzero if the object may be rendered; otherwise 0.

Reimplemented from ShapeObject.

Reimplemented in MSShapeXtnd.

1170{ return ShapeObject::IsRenderable(); }
virtual CoreExport int IsRenderable() override
Indicates whether the object may be rendered.

◆ GetRenderMesh()

Mesh * GetRenderMesh ( TimeValue  t,
INode inode,
View view,
BOOL &  needDelete 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

This method should be implemented by all renderable GeomObjects.

It provides a mesh representation of the object for use by the renderer. Primitives that already have a mesh cached can just return a pointer to it (and set needDelete to FALSE). Implementations of this method which take a long time should periodically call View::CheckForRenderAbort() to see if the user has canceled the render. If canceled, the function can either return NULL, or return a non null pointer with the appropriate value for needDelete. (If needDelete is TRUE a non-null mesh will be deleted.)

Parameters
tThe time to get the mesh.
inodeThe node in the scene.
viewIf the renderer calls this method it will pass the view information here. See Class View.
needDeleteSet to TRUE if the renderer should delete the mesh, FALSE otherwise.
Returns
A pointer to the mesh object.

Reimplemented from ShapeObject.

Reimplemented in MSShapeXtnd.

1171{ return ShapeObject::GetRenderMesh(t, inode, view, needDelete); }
virtual CoreExport Mesh * GetRenderMesh(TimeValue t, INode *inode, View &view, BOOL &needDelete) override
This method should be implemented by all renderable GeomObjects.

◆ InitNodeName()

void InitNodeName ( MSTR s)
inlineoverridevirtual

This is the default name of the node when it is created.

Parameters
sThe default name of the node is stored here.

Reimplemented from ShapeObject.

Reimplemented in MSObjectXtnd< ShapeObject, MSPluginShape >, and MSShapeXtnd.

virtual void InitNodeName(MSTR &s) override
This is the default name of the node when it is created.
Definition: object.h:4596

◆ SuperClassID()

SClass_ID SuperClassID ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Retrieves a constant representing the type of the plugin.

Returns
A super class id that uniquely identifies the type (category) of the plugin. Note that several plugin classes can be of the same type, thus return the same super class id. Plugins are uniquely identified by their class ids.
See also
SClass_ID

Implements Animatable.

Reimplemented in MSShapeXtnd.

1175{ return ShapeObject::SuperClassID(); }
SClass_ID SuperClassID() override
Retrieves a constant representing the type of the plugin.
Definition: object.h:4597

◆ IntersectRay()

int IntersectRay ( TimeValue  t,
Ray ray,
float &  at,
Point3 norm 
)
inlineoverridevirtual

Computes the intersection point of the ray passed and the shape.

Note
This method has a default implementation and it is not necessary to define this method in classes derived from ShapeObject.
Parameters
tThe time to compute the intersection.
rayRay to intersect.
atThe point of intersection.
normThe surface normal at the point of intersection.
Returns
Nonzero if a point of intersection was found; otherwise 0.

Reimplemented from ShapeObject.

Reimplemented in MSObjectXtnd< ShapeObject, MSPluginShape >, and MSShapeXtnd.

1177{ return ShapeObject::IntersectRay(t, ray, at, norm); }

Definition: object.h:4862

◆ HasUVW()

BOOL HasUVW ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Call this method to find out if the object has UVW coordinates.

This method returns TRUE if the object has UVW coordinates; otherwise FALSE. In 3ds Max 2.0 and later there is code in the renderer that will automatically turn on the UVW coordinates of the base object if UV's are missing (and needed). The base object has to implement two simple methods to make this work: HasUVW() and SetGenUVW(). Developers are encouraged to put these methods in their objects: it makes using the program easier for the user. If they are not implemented, it doesn't cause any real harm: it will just operate as before and put up the missing UVW's message. Here is how the procedural sphere implements these methods:

BOOL SphereObject::GetGenUVW()
{
BOOL genUVs;
pblock->GetValue(PB_GENUVS, 0, genUVs, v);
return genUVs;
}
void SphereObject::SetGenUVW(BOOL sw)
{
if (sw==GetGenUVW()) return;
pblock->SetValue(PB_GENUVS,0, sw);
}
Definition: interval.h:36

Important Note: The pblock->SetValue() will cause a call to NotifyDependents(FOREVER, PART_TEXMAP, REFMSG_CHANGE), which will invalidate the UVW cache. It is essential that this call be made, so if the 'generate UVW' boolean is not handled by a parameter block, then NotifyDependents() needs to be called explicitly. Also Note: For "modifiable objects" that pass up the pipeline getting modified, such as TriObject, EditTriObject, etc., which cannot generate their own UVWs, but can carry them in their data structures, only this HasUVW() method needs to be implemented. For example, here is the implementation for TriObject: BOOL TriObject::HasUVW() { return mesh.tvFace?1:0; }

Reimplemented from ShapeObject.

Reimplemented in MSObjectXtnd< ShapeObject, MSPluginShape >, and MSShapeXtnd.

1198{ return ShapeObject::HasUVW(); }

Definition: object.h:4864

◆ SetGenUVW()

void SetGenUVW ( BOOL  sw)
inlineoverridevirtual

This method is called to change the state of its Generate UVW boolean.

If the state changes, the object must send a REFMSG_CHANGE up the pipeline by calling NotifyDependents(). This applies to map channel 1.

Parameters
swThe new state for the generate UVW flag.

Reimplemented from ShapeObject.

Reimplemented in MSObjectXtnd< ShapeObject, MSPluginShape >, and MSShapeXtnd.

virtual void SetGenUVW(BOOL sw) override

◆ RescaleWorldUnits()

void RescaleWorldUnits ( float  f)
inlineoverridevirtual

Implemented by the System.

Objects derived from this class which have RescaleWorldUnits methods implemented need to call this method. The following example is the SplineShape implementation of this method from core.

{
return;
// Call the base class's rescale (this sets the A_WORK1 flag)
// Now rescale stuff inside our data structures
Matrix3 stm = ScaleMatrix(Point3(f, f, f));
shape.Transform(stm);
}
bool TestAFlag(DWORD mask) const
Tests one or more bits in the Animatable flags.
Definition: Animatable.h:338
Definition: matrix3.h:99
virtual CoreExport void RescaleWorldUnits(float f) override
Implemented by the System.
CoreExport void RescaleWorldUnits(float f)
Implemented by the System.
DMatrix3 ScaleMatrix(const DPoint3 &s)
Builds a new matrix for use as a scale transformation.
#define A_WORK1
Definition: AnimatableFlags.h:216

Note that the A_WORK1 flags is tested first to be sure it isn't processing the rescale twice. The code then calls ShapeObject::RescaleWorldUnits, which sets the A_WORK1 flag and performs the necessary rescale methods for all references for the object, and scales the renderable thickness value.

Parameters
fThe parameter to scale.
