◆ ~IInstance()

virtual RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::~IInstance ( void )

inlinevirtual

Member Function Documentation

◆ BoundingBox()

virtual ON_BoundingBox RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::BoundingBox ( bool transformed ) const

pure virtual

The bounding box for this instance.

Parameters

transformed If true, the bounding box is returned in world space, if false, in geometry space.

Returns

◆ EVF()

virtual void* RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::EVF	(	const wchar_t *	wszFunc,
		void *	pv
	)

pure virtual

Emergency virtual function for future expansion

Parameters

wszFunc	The named function
pv	Private data

Returns: Private data in the form of a void*

◆ Geometry() [1/2]

virtual const IGeometry& RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::Geometry ( void ) const

pure virtual

Return the geometry for this instance.

Returns: Geometry for this instance.

◆ Geometry() [2/2]

virtual IGeometry& RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::Geometry ( void )

pure virtual

Return the geometry for this instance.

Returns: Geometry for this instance.

◆ InstanceMappingChannels()

virtual std::shared_ptr<const MappingChannels> RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::InstanceMappingChannels ( void ) const

pure virtual

For per-instance mapping channels. This overrides the mapping channels supplied by the geometry typically this will be nullptr. If these channels are in use, they are specified in geometry space.

Returns: Per instance mapping channel collection

◆ IsRequestingPlugInDependent()

virtual bool RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::IsRequestingPlugInDependent ( void ) const

pure virtual

If this instance will change depending on the requesting plug-in.

Returns: True if the instance is dependent on the requesting plug-in, otherwise false.

◆ IsViewDependent()

virtual bool RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::IsViewDependent ( void ) const

pure virtual

If this instance will change depending on the view direction.

Returns: True if the instance is view dependent, otherwise false.

◆ MakeCopy()

virtual std::shared_ptr<IInstance> RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::MakeCopy ( void ) const

pure virtual

Make a copy of the instance that can be modified - note, that the meshes/geometry themselves are still const and cannot be modified. The modifyable parts are the transform and the mapping channels.

Returns

◆ Material()

virtual std::shared_ptr<const CRhRdkMaterial> RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::Material ( void ) const

pure virtual

Return the material for this instance.

Returns: Material for this instance.

		bool	IsViewDependent = `false`,
		bool	IsRequestingPlugInDependent = `false`
	)

static

Use this function to create a ready made instance object

Parameters

id	The object Id this mesh came from.
mesh	The mesh - can be empty if primitive is not empty
cacheHandle	The cacheHandle to use for this mesh - should be unique to the object managed by the shared_ptr<const ON_Mesh>
cacheHandleId	An ID that is unique for any given mesh managed by the shared_ptr<const ON_Mesh>
primitive	Optionally the primitive for this instance - can be empty if the mesh is not empty.
meshMappingChannels	The mesh mapping channels - these must be the same for any given cacheHandleId.
material	The Material for this instance.
instanceMappingChannels	Per instance mapping channels - overrides the mesh mapping channels. Can be empty (and usually is).
xform	The instance transformation.
IsViewDependent	True if the instance is view dependent, otherwise false.
IsRequestingPlugInDependent	True if the instance is dependent on the requesting plug-in, otherwise false.

Returns

◆ New() [2/3]

static std::shared_ptr<IInstance> RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::New	(	std::shared_ptr< const ON_Mesh >	mesh,
		const CRhinoObject &
	)

static

Extremely simple version for "use all object attributes". Typically used when there are no previous meshes.

Parameters

mesh

Returns: A new instance object

◆ New() [3/3]

static std::shared_ptr<IInstance> RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::New	(	std::shared_ptr< const ON_Mesh >	mesh,
		const IInstance &	previous
	)

static

Use this function to create a ready made instance object - reusing the materials, mapping and so on from a previous instance object. This is typically used inside a MeshProvider to replace the incoming instance with new geometry.

Parameters

mesh	The mesh
previous	The previous instance from which to copy.

Returns: A new instance object

◆ Object()

virtual ObjectId RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::Object ( void ) const

pure virtual

Returns the object id this instance was generated from.

Returns: The object id this instance was generated from.

◆ Transform()

virtual void RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::Transform ( const ON_Xform & )

pure virtual

Transform this instance. Note that if you're transforming an IRenderMeshes object, use the transform function there as it will update the hash.

◆ Xform()

virtual const ON_Xform& RhRdk::CustomRenderMeshes::IRenderMeshes::IInstance::Xform ( void ) const

pure virtual

The transform for this instance. Transform the geometry by this to set its final location in world space.

Returns: The instance transform
