DeleteThis()

void DeleteThis ( )

overridevirtual

Deletes an instance of this class.

3ds Max calls this method when it needs to delete a plugin object (an instance of a class derived from Animatable). Similarly, plugins that need to delete instances of an Animatable or a class directly derived from it via an Animatable pointer, should call this method instead of calling directly operator delete. Following these rules will ensure that the same memory manager is used to allocate and deallocate the object. The default implementation of this method deletes the object. Plugin instances that never need to be deleted from the heap can overwrite this method to do nothing.

Note

See the method ClassDesc::Create() for details on how Max allocates plugin objects.

See ReferenceMaker::DeleteMe() and ReferenceTarget::MaybeAutoDelete() for information on how plugin instances are deleted by the system.

Remarks

See ~{ Memory Management }~.

See also

~{ Required DLL Functions }~, Class ClassDesc.

Reimplemented from Animatable.

GetClassName()

void GetClassName ( MSTR & s, bool localized ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Retrieves the name of the plugin class.

This name is used in 3ds Max's UI and in MAXScript. For Material plug-ins this method is used to put up the material "type" name in the Material Editor.

Parameters

s	Reference to a string filled in with the name of the plugin class.
localized	If true, then the class name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the class name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the class name in English.

Reimplemented from Mtl.

{ s = (localized) ? pc->ClassName() : pc->NonLocalizedClassName(); }

ClassID()

Class_ID ClassID ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Retrieves a constant that uniquely identifies the plugin class.

This method must return the unique ID for the plugin class. If two ClassIDs conflict, the system will only load the first conflicting one it finds. A program (gencid.exe) is provided to generate unique class id values.

Returns

A class id that uniquely identifies a plugin class

See also

Class ClassID, class ID definitions in plugapi.h.

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return pc->class_id; }

FreeCaches()

void FreeCaches ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This is called to delete any item that can be rebuilt. For example, the procedural sphere object has a mesh that it caches. It could call Mesh::FreeAll() on the mesh from this method. This will free the vertex/face/uv arrays. If the sphere is ever evaluated again it can just rebuild the mesh. If an object (like a sphere) has modifiers applied to it, and those modifiers are not animated, then the result of the pipeline is cached in the node. So there is no reason for the sphere to also have a cache of its representation. Therefore when this method is called, the sphere can free the data of the mesh.

Default Implementation:

{}

Reimplemented from Animatable.

{ }         

NumSubs()

int NumSubs ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

The system uses a virtual array mechanism to access the sub-anims of a plug-in. This method returns the total number of sub-anims maintained by the plug-in. If a plug-in is using a parameter block to manage its parameters it should just return 1 for all the parameters directed by the parameter block.

Returns

The number of sub-anims used by the plug-in.

Default Implementation:

{ return 0; }

Reimplemented from Animatable.

{ return pblocks.Count(); }  

SubAnim()

Animatable * SubAnim ( int i )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns a pointer to the 'i-th' sub-anim. If a plug-in is using a parameter block to manage all its parameters it should just return a pointer to the parameter block itself from this method. This method may return NULL so developers need to check the return value before calling other sub anim methods (such as SubAnimName()).

Parameters

i	This is the index of the sub-anim to return.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL };

Reimplemented from Animatable.

{ return pblocks[i]; }

SubAnimName()

MSTR SubAnimName ( int i, bool localized = true )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns the name of the 'i-th' sub-anim to appear in track view. The system has no idea what name to assign to the sub-anim (it only knows it by the virtual array index), so this method is called to retrieve the name to display. Developer need to make sure the 'i-th' SubAnim() is non-NULL or this method will fail.

Parameters

i	The index of the parameter name to return
localized	If true, then the sub-anim name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the sub-anim name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the sub-anim name in English.

Returns

The name of the 'i-th' parameter.

Reimplemented from Animatable.

    {
        if (pblocks[i]->GetDesc()->local_name != 0)
        {
            return localized ? pblocks[i]->GetLocalName() : pblocks[i]->GetDesc()->int_name.data();
        }
        
        return _T("");
    }

NumParamBlocks()

int NumParamBlocks ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is available in release 3.0 and later only.

This method returns the number of ParamBlock2s in this instance.

Default Implementation:

{ return 0; }

Reimplemented from Animatable.

{ return pblocks.Count(); }

GetParamBlock()

IParamBlock2 * GetParamBlock ( int i )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method return 'i-th' ParamBlock2 in this instance (or NULL if not available).

Parameters

i	The zero based index of the ParamBlock2 to return.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL; }

Reimplemented from Animatable.

{ return pblocks[i]; }

GetParamBlockByID()

IParamBlock2 * GetParamBlockByID ( BlockID id )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns a pointer to the ParamBlock2 as specified by the ID passed (or NULL if not available).

Parameters

id	The BlockID of the ParamBlock2 instance.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL; }

Reimplemented from Animatable.

{ return MSPlugin::GetParamBlockByID(id); }

GetInterface()

void * GetInterface ( ULONG id )

inlineoverridevirtual

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)
((Control*)anim-\>GetInterface(I_CONTROL))

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

id	The 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 {
        return Animatable::GetInterface(id);
    }
}

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ if (id == I_MAXSCRIPTPLUGIN) return (MSPlugin*)this; return Mtl::GetInterface(id); }

NotifyRefChanged()

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

inlineoverridevirtual

Receives and responds to messages.

A plugin which makes references must implement a method to receive and respond to messages broadcast by its dependents. This is done by implementing NotifyRefChanged(). The plugin developer usually implements this method as a switch statement where each case is one of the messages the plugin needs to respond to. The Method StdNotifyRefChanged calls this, which can change the partID to new value. If it doesn't depend on the particular message& partID, it should return REF_DONTCARE.

• For developer that need to update a dialog box with data about an object you reference note the following related to this method: This method may be called many times. For instance, say you have a dialog box that displays data about an object you reference. This method will get called many time during the drag operations on that object. If you updated the display every time you'd wind up with a lot of 'flicker' in the dialog box. Rather than updating the dialog box each time, you should just invalidate the window in response to the NotifyRefChanged() call. Then, as the user drags the mouse your window will still receive paint messages. If the scene is complex the user may have to pause (but not let up on the mouse) to allow the paint message to go through since they have a low priority. This is the way many windows in 3ds Max work.

Parameters

changeInt	- This is the interval of time over which the message is active. Currently, all plug-ins will receive FOREVER for this interval, with the exception of REFMSG_FLAGDEPENDENTS notifications. In that case, changeInt.Start() is the timepoint to perform the dependency test.
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	- This contains information specific to the message passed in. Some messages don't use the partID at all. See the section List of Reference Messages for more information about the meaning of the partID for some common messages.
message	- The message parameters passed into this method is the specific message which needs to be handled.
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.

Implements ReferenceMaker.

                    { 
                        return ((MSPlugin*)this)->NotifyRefChanged(changeInt, hTarget, partID, message, propagate); 
                    }

NumRefs()

int NumRefs ( )

overridevirtual

Returns the total number of references this ReferenceMaker can hold.

The plugin implements this method to indicate the total number of of references it can make. This includes all references whether they are NULL (inactive) or non-NULL (active) at the time when this method is called. A plugin can hold a variable number of references, thus the return value of this method is not to be cached and reused by client code.

Returns

The total number of references this plugin can hold. The default implementation is return 0.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

GetReference()

RefTargetHandle GetReference ( int i )

overridevirtual

Returns the 'i-th' reference.

The plugin implements this method to return its 'i-th' reference. The plug-in simply keeps track of its references using an integer index for each one. This method is normally called by the system.

Parameters

i	- The index of the reference to retrieve. Valid values are from 0 to NumRefs()-1.

Returns

The reference handle of the 'i-th' reference. Note that different calls to this method with the same 'i' value can result in different reference handles being retrieved, as the plugin changes the scene objects it references as its 'i-th' reference.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

SetReference()

void SetReference ( int i, RefTargetHandle rtarg )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Stores a ReferenceTarget as its 'i-th' reference`.

The plugin implements this method to store the reference handle passed to it as its 'i-th' reference. In its implementation of this method, the plugin should simply assign the reference handle passed in as a parameter to the member variable that holds the 'i-th' reference. Other reference handling methods such as ReferenceMaker::DeleteReference(), or ReferenceMaker::ReplaceReference() should not be called from within this method. The plugin itself or other plugins should not call this method directly. The system will call this method when a new reference is created or an existing one is replaced by calling ReferenceMaker::ReplaceReference().

Parameters

i	- The index of the reference to store. Valid values are from 0 to NumRefs()-1.
rtarg	- The reference handle to store.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

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)));
    }
};

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.

GetFullName()

MSTR GetFullName ( bool localized = true )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

Implemented by the System.

This method returns the name that appears in the track view. It returns the "Instance Name(class Name)". For example "Green Glass (Standard)". The default implementation should be used.

Parameters

localized

If true, then the name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the name in English.

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return MtlBase::GetFullName(localized); }

BuildMaps()

int BuildMaps ( TimeValue t, RenderMapsContext & rmc )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called for a plug-in to do any work it needs to do prior to rendering. For example this is used by the 3ds Max Mirror and Auto Reflect materials to render their bitmaps.

Parameters

t	The current time.
rmc	Provides information about the view being rendered and can provide access to the global rendering environment information via RenderGlobalContext *gc = rmc.GetGlobalContext(). See Class RenderMapsContext and Class RenderGlobalContext.

Returns

Nonzero on success; zero on failure. In the case of failure the renderer is halted (rendering is cancelled).

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return MtlBase::BuildMaps(t, rmc); }

Requirements()

ULONG Requirements ( int subMtlNum )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns the cumulative requirements of the material and its sub-materials and maps. The default implementation just ORs together the local requirements of the material with the requirements of all its children. Most materials will only need to implement LocalRequirements().

Parameters

subMtlNum

Specifies the number of the sub-material whose requirements should be returned. -1 may be used to return a value generated by looping over all the sub-materials and ORing together the requirements.

Returns

See Material Requirements Flags.

Default Implementation:

The default implementation automatically traverses the sub-material/map tree. On any MtlBase that returns TRUE for IsMultiMtl() it will only recursively call the sub material (or map) for the subMtlNum called. The exception to this is when subMtlNum<0: in this case all sub-mtls and submaps are enumerated. Therefore the LocalRequirements() method below only needs to consider the material or map itself, not the sub-mtls and sub-maps.

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return MtlBase::Requirements(subMtlNum); }

LocalRequirements()

ULONG LocalRequirements ( int subMtlNum )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

Specifies various requirements for this material. The value returned from this method should not include requirements of its sub-materials and sub-maps.

Parameters

subMtlNum

Specifies the number of the sub-material whose requirements should be returned.

Returns

See Material Requirements Flags.

Default Implementation:

{ return 0; }

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return MtlBase::LocalRequirements(subMtlNum); }

MappingsRequired()

void MappingsRequired ( int subMtlNum, BitArray & mapreq, BitArray & bumpreq )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method gives the UVW channel requirements of the material and its tree. The default implementation just OR's together the local mapping requirements of the material with the requirements of all its children. For most materials, all they need to implement is the LocalMappingsRequired() method.

Parameters

subMtlNum	Specifies the number of the sub-material whose mapping information is retrieved.
mapreq	This array of bits is initialized to an empty set with MAX_MESHMAPS elements. Each bit corresponds to a mapping channel. Set a bit to one to indicate the material requires the corresponding UVW channel.
bumpreq	This array of bits is initialized to an empty set with MAX_MESHMAPS elements. Each bit corresponds to a mapping channel. Set a bit to one to indicate the material requires the corresponding bump mapping channel.

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ MtlBase::MappingsRequired(subMtlNum, mapreq, bumpreq); } 

LocalMappingsRequired()

void LocalMappingsRequired ( int subMtlNum, BitArray & mapreq, BitArray & bumpreq )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method specifies UVW channel requirements for the material: This method should not include UVW channel requirements of any sub-materials and sub-maps.

Parameters

subMtlNum	Specifies the number of the sub-material whose mapping information is retrieved.
mapreq	This array of bits is initialized to an empty set with MAX_MESHMAPS elements. Each bit corresponds to a mapping channel. Set a bit to one to indicate the material requires the corresponding UVW channel.
bumpreq	This array of bits is initialized to an empty set with MAX_MESHMAPS elements. Each bit corresponds to a mapping channel. Set a bit to one to indicate the material requires the corresponding bump mapping channel.

Default Implementation:

{}

Sample Code:

All 2D textures that use UVGen or otherwise select mapping channels need to implement this method Here's an example:

void LocalMappingsRequired(int subMtlNum, BitArray & mapreq, BitArray &bumpreq)
{
    uvGen->MappingsRequired(subMtlNum,mapreq,bumpreq);
}

All 3D textures that use the XYZGen to put up a coordinates rollup must implement this method. Here's an example:

void LocalMappingsRequired(int subMtlNum, BitArray & mapreq,BitArray &bumpreq)
{
    xyzGen->MappingsRequired(subMtlNum,mapreq,bumpreq);
}

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ MtlBase::LocalMappingsRequired(subMtlNum, mapreq, bumpreq); }

IsMultiMtl()

BOOL IsMultiMtl ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns TRUE for materials or textures that select sub-materials based on submaterial number (for example a mesh faceMtlIndex).

The only materials for which this method should return TRUE are those that choose to use one of their sub-maps or sub-mtls based on the submaterial number. For the majority of materials and maps, they should return FALSE, and in that case all of the submaterials and maps are enumerated by MtlBase::Requirements().

Default Implementation:

{ return FALSE; }

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return MtlBase::IsMultiMtl(); }

NumSubTexmaps()

int NumSubTexmaps ( )

overridevirtual

Remarks

Returns the number of sub-textures managed by this material or texture.

Default Implementation:

{ return 0; }

Reimplemented from ISubMap.

GetSubTexmap()

Texmap * GetSubTexmap ( int i )

overridevirtual

Remarks

Returns a pointer to the 'i-th' sub-texmap managed by the material or texture.

Note: For the 3ds Max Standard material, the sub-texmap indexes used with this method are listed in Texture Map Indices.

Parameters:

int i

Specifies the texmap to return.

Default Implementation:

{ return NULL; }

Reimplemented from ISubMap.

SetSubTexmap()

void SetSubTexmap ( int i, Texmap * m )

overridevirtual

Remarks

Stores the 'i-th' sub-texmap managed by the material or texture.

Note: For the 3ds Max Standard material, the sub-texmap indexes used with this method are listed in Texture Map Indices.

Parameters:

int i

The index of the storage for the texmap.

Texmap *m

The texmap to store.

Default Implementation:

{}

Reimplemented from ISubMap.

GetSubTexmapSlotName()

MSTR GetSubTexmapSlotName ( int i, bool localized = true )

overridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns the slot name of the 'i-th' sub-texmap. This name appears in the materials editor dialog. For instance, if you are in a material and then you go down into a map, this is the name that appears just below the 'Get Material' icon. For example, in the Standard material when you choose one of the maps, the map name appears to let you know which slot you are working on. For the Standard material, this may be "Ambient", "Diffuse", "Specular", etc.

Parameters:

int i

Specifies the slot whose name is returned. bool localized

If true, then the slot name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the slot name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the slot name in English.

Default Implementation:

The default implementation returns an empty ("") string.

Reimplemented from ISubMap.

GetSubTexmapTVName()

MSTR GetSubTexmapTVName ( int i, bool localized = true )

inline

{ return GetSubTexmapSlotName(i, localized); }

Update()

void Update ( TimeValue t, Interval & valid )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

A material has a Shade() method, and a texture map has a EvalColor() method. These are called by the renderer for every pixel. This method is called before rendering begins to allow the plug-in to evaluate anything prior to the render so it can store this information. In this way this information does not need to be calculated over and over for every pixel when Shade() or EvalColor() is called. This allows texture and material evaluation to be more efficient. It is generally called once at the start of each frame, or during interactive playback when the time changes. It is not guaranteed to get called on every frame, because if you returned a validity interval that covers several frames, your parent material won't bother to call you if the current frame is still in that interval.

Parameters

t	The current time.
valid	The validity interval to update to reflect the validity interval of the material or texture at the time passed.

Implements MtlBase.

{ }

Reset()

void Reset ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called to reset the material or texmap back to its default values. This should be done by calling the Reset method of the material or texture map plugin's class descriptor (ClassDesc2::Reset). In addition, the plugin can execute any other initialization code it has. Example from maxsdk\samples\materials\dblsided.cpp

void DoubleSided::Reset() {
    dblsidedCD.Reset(this, TRUE); // Resets all pb2's
    Init();
} 

Note

When migrating plugins from ClassDesc to ClassDesc2 and IParamBlock2, do not forget to update this method to call the class descriptor's Reset method. If the plugin's Reset tries to replace parameter block objects based on IParamBlock2 that use the P_AUTO_UI flag, the UI code will continue to hold a pointer to the replaced parameter block, and this will lead to problems.

Implements MtlBase.

{ pc->cd2->Reset(this, TRUE); }

Validity()

Interval Validity ( TimeValue t )

overridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called to determine the validity interval of the material or texture.

Parameters

t	Specifies the time about which to compute the validity interval.

Returns

The validity interval of the item at the specified time.

Implements MtlBase.

CreateParamDlg()

ParamDlg * CreateParamDlg ( HWND hwMtlEdit, IMtlParams * imp )

overridevirtual

Remarks

This method gets called when the material or texture is to be displayed in the material editor parameters area. The plug-in should allocate a new instance of a class derived from ParamDlg to manage the user interface.

Note: The following is a discussion of this CreateParamDlg() method, and the SetDlgThing() method, and the way they relate to the ParamMap2 system. A good example for this discussion is a texture map which typically has several rollouts, say its texmap parameters, a UVW coordinates rollout, and an Output rollout.

The normal way for a texmap to implement these other (common) rollouts is for the it to create a UVGen instance and a TextureOutput instance as 'sub-objects' in the map and then ask them to put up their rollouts when it is asked to do so by the Materials Editor (in CreateParamDlg()). The Materials Editor requires a ParamDlg pointer back from the CreateParamDlg() on which it calls methods to control the UI, such as time change updates or loading up a new texmap of the same class into the UI when the user switches them, so that the whole UI doesn't need to be rebuilt.

Prior to the ParamMap2 system, a texmap would implement its own ParamDlg subclass and would keep track of the UVGen and TextureOutput ParamDialogs and pass on any time change or SetThing() calls to them. ParamMap2 introduced its own ParamDlg subclass (Class IAutoMParamDlg) that you can ask it to build for you and have manage all interaction with the Materials Editor automatically. As before, this still needs to know about the other (sub-object) ParamDlgs, and so it has the ability to keep a list of 'secondary' ParamDlgs to which it passes on the SetTime()s and SetThing()s.

When the Materials Editor asks the texmap to CreateParamDlg(), the texmap asks its ClassDesc2 to build one of these (ClassDesc2::CreateParamDlgs()). If the texmap itself has multiple ParamBlock2s, CreateParamDlgs() builds one ParamDlg per pblock/rollout, makes the first of them a 'driver' and adds the rest as secondary ParamDlgs. The texmap then asks the UVGen and TextureOutput objects to CreateParamDlg() for their rollouts and adds them to the driver IAutoMParamDlg also.

Now consider the need for the SetDlgThing() method below. It is related to the SetThing() method that the Materials Editor calls on the 'driver' ParamDlg to switch into the UI a texmap of the same class as that currently in the UI. Normally, the driver IAutoParamDlg would propagate the SetThing() to its registered secondary ParamDlgs. In the case of multiple paramblock2s in the texmap, this would be correct, since the 'thing' in this case is the incoming texmap. But this doesn't work for the secondary UVGen and TextureOutput ParamDlgs; their 'things' are the UVGen and TextureOutput subobjects of the incoming map. So, IAutoParamDlg first calls SetDlgThing() on the incoming texmap so that it gets a chance to call the correct SetThing()s on the sub-object ParamDlgs with the appropriate incoming sub-objects. A clear example of this is in Gradient::SetDlgThing() in /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/MATERIALS/GRADIENT.CPP. It is called once for each secondary ParamDlg. For those ParamDlgs that have special SetThing() requirements, it does the appropriate sub-object SetThing() and returns TRUE. If it does no special handling for a particular ParamDlg, it returns FALSE, signalling to the IAutoMParamDlg that it should do the standard SetThing() propagation for that dialog.

The Render Effects dialog has a similar arrangement to the Materials Editor for controlling Effect UI and so there is an IAutoEParamDlg that works exactly the same way as the IAuotMParamDlg.

Parameters

hwMtlEdit	The window handle of the materials editor.
imp	The interface pointer for calling methods in 3ds Max.

Returns

A pointer to the created instance of a class derived from ParamDlg.

Implements MtlBase.

Save()

IOResult Save ( ISave * iSave )

inlineoverridevirtual

Reimplemented from MSPlugin.

{ MSPlugin::Save(iSave); return MtlBase::Save(iSave); }

Load()

IOResult Load ( ILoad * iload )

inlineoverridevirtual

Called for loading data.

Called by the system to allow the plug-in to load its data. See the section on ~{ Loading and Saving Plug-in Data }~ for an overview of the load - save process.

Parameters

iload

- This interface pointer may be used to call methods to read data from disk.

Returns

The default implementation is return IO_OK.

• IO_OK means the result was acceptable, with no errors.
• IO_ERROR This should be returned if an error occurred.

Reimplemented from ReferenceMaker.

{ MSPlugin::Load(iLoad); return MtlBase::Load(iLoad); }

GetGBufID()

void SetGBufID ( ULONG id )

inline

{ MtlBase::SetGBufID(id); }

EnumAuxFiles()

void EnumAuxFiles ( AssetEnumCallback & assetEnum, DWORD flags )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is used to enumerate any 'auxiliary' files maintained by the item and record the filename with the callback. Entities which actually need to load auxiliary files (for instance texture maps) must implement this method, possibly calling ReferenceMaker::EnumAuxFiles() also. The ReferenceMaker implementation simply calls itself on all its references (see below).

Class Interface has a method that may be used to call this on the entire system. This includes the renderer, materials editor, atmospheric effects, background, video post, lights, etc. – everything that may have auxiliary files associated with it. After specifying the appropriate flags a list of filenames is created that matched the enumeration conditions as specified by the flags. This is used for instance by the Archive function in 3ds Max to grab a list of bitmap files used by the system.

Parameters

assetEnum	The callback object that may be used to record the asset. See Class AssetEnumCallback.
flags	See Auxiliary File Enumeration Flags

Sample Code:

void MaxShader::EnumAuxFiles(AssetEnumCallback& assetEnum, DWORD flags) 
{
    if ((flags & FILE_ENUM_CHECK_AWORK1) && TestAFlag(A_WORK1))
        return; 
    if (!(flags & FILE_ENUM_INACTIVE))
        return; // not needed by renderer
 
    PBBitmap* bm = NULL;
    for(int i=0; i < CHANNEL_MAX; i++)
    {
        ParamID pid = DIFFUSE_FILE + i;
        if (m_PBlock->GetParamDef(pid).type == TYPE_BITMAP)
        {
            ParamID pid = m_PBlock->IndextoID(i);
            m_PBlock->GetValue(pid,0,bm,FOREVER);
            if(bm)
            {
                if(flags & FILE_ENUM_ACCESSOR_INTERFACE)
                {
                    IEnumAuxAssetsCallback* callback = static_cast<IEnumAuxAssetsCallback*>(&assetEnum);
                    callback->DeclareAsset(MaxShaderAccessor(m_PBlock, DIFFUSE_FILE + i));
                }
                else
                {
                    bm->bi.EnumAuxFiles(assetEnum,flags);
                }  
            }
        }
    }
    ReferenceTarget::EnumAuxFiles( assetEnum, flags );
}

Reimplemented from Animatable.

    {   
        if ((vflags&FILE_ENUM_CHECK_AWORK1)&&TestAFlag(A_WORK1)) return; // LAM - 4/21/03

{ MtlBase::DiscardPStamp(sz); }           

SupportTexDisplay()

BOOL SupportTexDisplay ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

Returns TRUE if this texture supports being used in the interactive renderer; otherwise FALSE. If the texture does return TRUE it is expected to implement the methods ActivateTexDisplay() and GetActiveTexHandle().

Default Implementation:

{ return FALSE; }

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return MtlBase::SupportTexDisplay(); }

GetActiveTexHandle()

DWORD_PTR GetActiveTexHandle ( TimeValue t, TexHandleMaker & thmaker )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called to retrieve a texture handle to this texture map.

Parameters

t	The time to return the texture handle.
thmaker	This class provides methods for creating a texture handle from a 3ds Max bitmap and a Windows DIB. It also has a method to retrieve the required size of the texture map. See Class TexHandleMaker.

Returns

The texture handle.

Default Implementation:

{return 0;}

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return MtlBase::GetActiveTexHandle(t, thmaker); }

ActivateTexDisplay()

void ActivateTexDisplay ( BOOL onoff )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called when the usage of the texture the interactive renderer changes. This method must only be implemented if SupportTexDisplay() returns TRUE. This method does not cause the texture map to be drawn in the viewport but should be called with TRUE as the argument before this can occur. For viewport drawing of textures refer to Interface::ActivateTexture() and Interface::DeActivateTexture() instead.

Parameters

onoff

TRUE if the texture is being used; FALSE if it is no longer being used.

Default Implementation:

{}

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ MtlBase::ActivateTexDisplay(onoff); }

SupportsMultiMapsInViewport()

BOOL SupportsMultiMapsInViewport ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

Returns TRUE if this material supports the display of multi-maps in the viewports (interactive renderer); FALSE if it doesn't.

Default Implementation:

{ return FALSE; }

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ return MtlBase::SupportsMultiMapsInViewport(); }

SetupGfxMultiMaps()

void SetupGfxMultiMaps ( TimeValue t, Material * mtl, MtlMakerCallback & cb )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method is called to initialize the interactive renderer Material passed with the properties of this MtlBase.

If a MtlBase (material or texmap) wants to display multiple textures in the viewports, it implements

SupportsMultiMapsInViewport() to return TRUE, and implements SetupGfxMultiMaps to store the necessary information in the Material passed in, including the TextureInfo's for each texture.

The MtlMakerCallback passed in to SetupGfxMultiMaps provides functions to help in setting up the "Material" data structure. The function NumberTexturesSupported() lets you know the capabilities of the current hardware, so you can adapt accordingly. The function GetGfxTexInfoFromTexmap fills in the fields of a TextureInfo except the texHandle and texture ops.

The implementation of SetupGfxMultiMaps must create the "texHandle" for each of the textures described in its TextureInfo array. It typically does this by calling the submap's GetVPDisplayDIB() method, and then creates the texHandle by calling the callBack function MakeHandle(bmi). To avoid doing this calculation when not necessary it is best to save the texHandles along with their validity intervals. Then when SetupGfxMultiMaps is called, if valid texHandles are already in hand they can just be used without recomputing.

Parameters

t	The time at which to evaluate the material.
mtl	Points to the interactive renderer material to update.
cb	This callback object is provided as a helper to fill in the Material properties above. See Class MtlMakerCallback.

Default Implementation:

{}

Reimplemented from MtlBase.

{ MtlBase::SetupGfxMultiMaps(t, mtl, cb); }

Reimplemented from Mtl.

GetSubMtlSlotName()

MSTR GetSubMtlSlotName ( int i, bool localized = true )

overridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns the slot name of the 'i-th' sub-material. This name appears in the materials editor dialog. For instance, if you are in a material and then you go down into a sub-material, this is the name that appears just below the 'Get Material' icon. For example, in the Multi/Sub-Object material when you choose one of the sub-materials, the map name appears to let you know which slot you are working on. For the Multi/Sub-Object material, this is the number of the slot, i.e."#1:", "#2:", "#3:", etc.

Parameters

i	The index of the sub-materials whose slot name should be returned.
localized	If true, then the slot name returned should be localized in the language 3ds Max is currently using. Otherwise it should be the slot name in English. If a plugin does not provide localized string resources, it can disregard this parameter and always return the slot name in English.

Reimplemented from Mtl.

IsOutputConst()

bool IsOutputConst ( ShadeContext & sc, int stdID )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method returns TRUE if the evaluated color/value (output) is constant over all possible inputs described by the shade context. If it cannot determine the correct answer, it returns FALSE.

Parameters

sc	This describes the context of the question.
stdID	The ID of the channel in question. See Texture Map Indices.

Default Implementation:

{ return FALSE; }

Reimplemented from Mtl.

{ return Mtl::IsOutputConst( sc, stdID ); }

EvalColorStdChannel()

bool EvalColorStdChannel ( ShadeContext & sc, int stdID, Color & outClr )

inlineoverridevirtual

Remarks

This method evaluates the material on a single standard texmap channel over an area described in the ShadeContext. A return value of FALSE indicates that the color could not be evaluated.

If there's no texmap defined for a channel or the output of the texmap is not "meaningful", the raw color stored by the material or shader is returned. (The output of a texmap is meaningful in a given ShadeContext if it is the same as when the scene is rendered. If the map cannot determine whether the output value is the same as when rendered, it should not be meaningful.)

Note that the output color is not clamped. If the method is called with a monochrome channel ID, the result value is copied in the R, G and B components of the Color structure.

As a default implementation, this method sets the output color to black and

Returns

FALSE.

Parameters

sc	This describes the context in which the material should be evaluated.
stdID	The ID of the channel to perform evaluation on. See Texture Map Indices.
outClr	The result of the evaluation.

Default Implementation:

{ return FALSE; } *‍/

Reimplemented from Mtl.

{ return Mtl::EvalColorStdChannel( sc, stdID, outClr ); }

EvalMonoStdChannel()

bool EvalMonoStdChannel ( ShadeContext & sc, int stdID, float & outVal )

inlineoverridevirtual

Parameters

sc	This describes the context in which the material should be evaluated.
stdID	The ID of the channel to perform evaluation on.
outVal	The result of the evaluation.
