Detailed Description

A new interface for 3dsmax 10.

Extends IViewportShaderManager2 This interface is implemented by 3ds Max, more specifically by the DirectX Manager and Mental Ray custom attributes of materials. Client code can get this interface from a material with the following code:

Material* pMaterial = // initialize material pointer
ICustAttribContainer* pCAContainer = pMaterial->GetCustAttribContainer();
BaseInterface* pBaseIfc = pCAContainer->FindCustAttribInterface(VIEWPORT_SHADER_MANAGER_INTERFACE3);
IViewportShaderManager3* pViewportShaderMgr = static_cast<IViewportShaderManager3*>(pBaseIfc);

#include <IViewportManager.h>
