Typedef Documentation

◆ TRACKBAR_FILTER_PROC

typedef bool(* TRACKBAR_FILTER_PROC) (Animatable *anim, Animatable *parent, int subAnimIndex, Animatable *grandParent, INode *node)

The TrackBar filter callback function.


The anim argument is the node you are filtering. The parent argument is the owning animatable. It returns the anim with its corresponding subAnimIndex. anim == parent->SubAnim(subAnimIndex) The grandParent argument is provided as an additional layer that is needed in case the parent is a ParamBlock(2) or something similar.
For instance you may need to know that the grandParent is a Bend modifier and the subAnimIndex is an index into the param block storage unit. The node argument is the originating scene node. Return true if the node should be included, otherwise return false.

◆ TRACKBAR_ADDITION_PROC

typedef bool(* TRACKBAR_ADDITION_PROC) (Tab< Animatable * > &anims, Tab< int > &subAnims, Tab< INode * > &nodes)

The TrackBar filter addition callback function.


The anims argument is a Tab of the parent animatables to add The subAnims argument is a Tab of the SubAnim numbers.
The actual animatable added will be anim = anims[i]->SubAnim(subAnims[i]) The node argument is the originating scene node.

The anims, subAnims, and nodes Tab should all have the same count. Return true if the addition should occur or false if is should not.

Function Documentation

◆ SetDontRepeatRefMsg()

CoreExport void SetDontRepeatRefMsg ( bool  value,
bool  commitToInit 
)

Methods that control an internal optimization related to reference message propagation.

The optimization consists of preventing the same ref message from being sent repeatedly to the same refmaker. This optimization improves the performance of interactive manipulation of complex IK rigs, but it is not completely reliable in the presence of some objects such as VIZWalls.

Call this method to turn the optimization On (value = true) or Off (value = false) at runtime. When 'commitToInit' is true, 'value' is saved to the current market default file as 'DontRepeatRefMsg=<value>'

◆ DontRepeatRefMsg()

CoreExport bool DontRepeatRefMsg ( )

Call this method to find out if the optimization is active or not.

◆ PreRefNotifyDependents()

CoreExport void PreRefNotifyDependents ( )

In order to apply the optimization to a notification session, the Pre/PostRefNotifyDependents methods have to bracket it.

IMPORTANT: The notification session should not contain GetValue calls.

◆ PostRefNotifyDependents()

CoreExport void PostRefNotifyDependents ( )

◆ SetInvalidateTMOpt()

CoreExport void SetInvalidateTMOpt ( bool  value,
bool  commitToInit 
)

Methods that control optimization for evaluating the transforms of complex rigs, especially of those with the expose transform helper.

Note that this optimization may not work completely reliable with all objects and controllers

◆ GetInvalidateTMOpt()

CoreExport bool GetInvalidateTMOpt ( )

◆ SetEnableOptimizeDependentNotifications()

CoreExport void SetEnableOptimizeDependentNotifications ( bool  value,
bool  commitToInit 
)

Methods that control optimization for not sending duplicate notifications.

Note that this optimization may not work completely reliable with all objects and controllers

◆ GetEnableOptimizeDependentNotifications()

CoreExport bool GetEnableOptimizeDependentNotifications ( )

◆ GetOptimizeDependentNotificationsStatistics()

CoreExport void GetOptimizeDependentNotificationsStatistics ( ULONGLONG &  numNotifySkipped,
ULONGLONG &  numNotifyNotSkipped 
)

◆ ResetOptimizeDependentNotificationsStatistics()

CoreExport void ResetOptimizeDependentNotificationsStatistics ( )

◆ SetControllerIntervalOptimization()

CoreExport void SetControllerIntervalOptimization ( bool  value,
bool  commitToInit 
)

Set and get the controller validity interval optimization flag for the base controllers.

When this flag is active, all Linear and Bezier controllers will express validity intervals that take into account flat sections in the animation curves that drive them. This allows for a performance improvement during scene evaluation because work can be skipped when dependencies don't actually change.

By default, ControllerIntervalOptimization is true.

Parameters
[in]value- Whether or not to enable this optimization
[in]commitToInit- Whether or not to write this setting into the defaults ini file.

◆ GetControllerIntervalOptimization()

CoreExport bool GetControllerIntervalOptimization ( )
