Detailed Description
A simple public manager for IRTShaderNode.
A simple public manager that creates and maintains IRTShaderNodes used by materials and other nodes in max. All creation and deletion of the objects is performed by the manager. The developer simply requests a new IRTShaderNode and releases it when finished. Internally the manager is responsible for maintaining the validity of the nodes, and performing Lost Devices routines on all nodes. It implements IEffectManager and manages all calls to the IEffectParser interfaces.

Member Function Documentation
| virtual IRTShaderNode* AddShaderNode | ( | Animatable * | anim | ) | [pure virtual] |
Register a new IRTShaderNode.
THe developer can keep hold of this pointer until they release it. The Animatable pointer is used to look up the data in various methods internally and also the FindShaderNode.
- Parameters:
-
[in] anim The associated Animatable for the render node
- Returns:
- A pointer to a new IRTShaderNode object.
| virtual void RemoveShaderNode | ( | IRTShaderNode * | shadeNode | ) | [pure virtual] |
When the animatable (e.g.
a material) is being deleted the IRTShaderNode should be removed from the active list
- Parameters:
-
[in] shadeNode The node to remove.
| virtual IRTShaderNode* FindShaderNode | ( | Animatable * | anim | ) | [pure virtual] |
Given an Animatable the associated IRTShaderNode can be retrieved.
An example is the background image display. A Bitmap can be displayed in the viewport background, so max checks to see if the currently assigned Texmap has a shader node registered. If it does it will use this to render the background, instead of the default software processing
- Parameters:
-
[in] anim The Animatable to query
- Returns:
- The corresponding shader node, or NULL if nothing is found
| static DllExport IRTShaderManager* GetRTShaderManager | ( | ) | [static] |
Access to the IRTShaderManager interface.
A developer would use something like the following.
IRTShaderManager * lpShaderMgr = IRTShaderManager::GetIRTShaderManager()
It is exported in the RTMax.dll
- Returns:
- Access to the IRTShaderManager singleton
