CreatePreview(CreatePreviewEventArgs args)

Creates the preview bitmap that will appear in the content editor's thumbnail display when previewing materials and environments. If this function is not overridden or the PreviewImage is not set on the arguments, then the internal OpenGL renderer will generate a simulation of the content. This function is called with four different preview quality settings. The first quality level of RealtimeQuick is called on the main thread and needs to be drawn as fast as possible. This function is called with the other three quality settings on a separate thread and are meant for generating progressively refined preview.

CreateTexture2dPreview(CreateTexture2dPreviewEventArgs args)

Creates the preview bitmap that will appear in the content editor's thumbnail display when previewing textures in 2d (UV) mode. If this function is not overridden or the PreviewImage is not set on the arguments, then the internal OpenGL renderer will generate a simulation.

Override this function to provide custom sections for the render settings panel that are displayed when your plug-in is the current render plug-in.

RenderSettingsSections()

Override this method to provide the UUIDs of all sections that should be displayed in the Render Settings tab when this is the current renderer.The default implementation adds all the RDK's built-in Render Settings sections. These UUIDs start with the prefix uuidRenderSettingsSection'. They can be found in RhRdkUuids.h

SupportsFeature(RenderFeature feature)

Determines if your renderer supports a specific feature.

UiContentTypes()

Override this method to provide the UUIDs of all content types that should be presented to the user in the types combo box or the[+] button types menu.The default implementation adds only RDK's built-in types. Rhino automatically adds types in the most efficient way to minimize the list length. If you override this method, you may call the base class first to add the built-in types, a separator will be inserted at the end of the standard list followed by your own types. You may omit the base class call and only chosen types yourself, followed by a separator and your own types. A 'More Types...' item is automatically added when needed by Rhino. Specify a separator by adding uuidUiContentType_Separator.
