| virtual void CalculateSceneBoundingBox | ( | TimeValue | t, |
| INode * | nodeForSpace, | ||
| Box3 & | sceneBox, | ||
| Interval & | valid | ||
| ) | [pure virtual] |
Calculates and returns the bounding box of every object to be rendered, in the object space of a given node.
Implements a caching mechanism to avoid re-calculating the same bounding box multiple times during the same render operation. The calculated bounding box only includes objects to be rendered.
- Parameters:
-
[in] t - The time at which the bounding box is to be calculated. [in] nodeForSpace - The bounding box is calculated in the object space of this node. Pass NULL in order to calculate the bounding box in world space. [out] sceneBox - Return value for the calculated bounding box. inout] valid - Modified validity interval; intersected with the validity interval of the scene.
