Detailed Description

Defines a LOD (Level of Detail) group.

This LodGroup node is a group node that can be used to detect how close a group of objects is to a camera. Typically this node is used for controlling "Level of Detail" visibility.

Properties in the class are designed according to Maya implementation. So these properties may be incompatible with other software, like 3ds Max.

In Maya, with "Level of Detail",the visibility of the children of this transform are controlled by the distance of a group to a camera and the threshold values. For example, under a LOD group node, there are three children: ship_detailed, ship_medium, and ship_rough. There are three threshold values: 5, 10 and 15. When the camera is within 5 units of the group bounding box, only ship_detailed is visible. When the view is zoomed out and the camera is 9 units away from the group, only ship_medium is visible. When the view is zoomed out to 30 units away, only ship_rough is visible.

This node attribute contains the properties of a null node.

Example code to create LODGroup:

KFbxNode *lLodGroup = KFbxNode::Create(pScene, "LODNode");
KFbxLodGroup *lLodGroupAttr = KFbxLodGroup::Create(pScene, "LODGroup1");
// Array lChildNodes contains geometries of all LOD levels
for (int j = 0; j < lChildNodes.GetCount(); j++)
{
lLodGroup->AddChild(lChildNodes.GetAt(j));
}

Member Function Documentation

virtual EAttributeType GetAttributeType (  )  const [virtual]

Return the type of node attribute which is EAttributeType::eLODGROUP.

Reimplemented from KFbxNodeAttribute.

int GetNumThresholds (  )  const

Get the size of the threshold list.

In correct situation, the size is less one than LOD nodes number.

Returns:
The current size of the threshold list.

bool AddThreshold ( fbxDistance  pThreshValue  ) 

Add a new threshold value to the current list.

Parameters:
pThreshValue  Threshold distance from the previous entry in the threshold list
Remarks:
This list can only expand so the only way to shrink it, is to completely destroy this object.

This method does not check the received values and blindly add them to the list. Therefore duplicated values can exist in different positions in the list.

Returns:
true if successful and false if any error occurred.

bool SetThreshold ( int  pEl,
fbxDistance  pThreshValue  
)

Set the threshold value for the specified object.

Parameters:
pEl  The index of the object we want to set the threshold.
pThreshValue  Threshold distance from the previous entry in the threshold list
Returns:
true if successful and false if the specified index is invalid.

bool GetThreshold ( int  pEl,
fbxDistance pThreshValue  
) const

Get the threshold value for the specified object.

Parameters:
pEl  The index of the object we want to get the threshold.
pThreshValue  the current threshold value.
Returns:
true if successful and false if the specified index is invalid.
Remarks:
in case of a failure, the pThreshValue is left unchanged.

int GetNumDisplayLevels (  )  const

Get the size of the displayLevel list.

In correct situation, the size is equal to LOD nodes number.

Returns:
The current size of the displayLevel list.

bool AddDisplayLevel ( KFbxLodGroup::EDisplayLevel  pValue  ) 

Add a new displayLevel value to the current list.

The value overrides the display of any level and can force it to hide or show the object at that level. For example, if the distance between the group and the camera is smaller than the first threshold, then the object at level 0 is visible. If the display level for the object at level 2 is changed to eShow, ie. if the attribute displayLevel[2] is set to eShow, then the object at level 2 will show, regardless of the current active level.

Parameters:
pValue  Display level value
Remarks:
This list can only expand so the only way to shrink it, is to completely destroy this object.

This method does not check the received values and blindly add them to the list. Therefore duplicated values can exist in different positions in the list.

Returns:
true if successful and false if any error occurred.

bool SetDisplayLevel ( int  pEl,
KFbxLodGroup::EDisplayLevel  pValue  
)

Set the display level value for the specified object.

Parameters:
pEl  The index of the object we want to set the display level.
pValue  New display level value
Returns:
true if successful and false if the specified index is invalid.

bool GetDisplayLevel ( int  pEl,
KFbxLodGroup::EDisplayLevel pValue  
) const

Get the display level value for the specified object.

Parameters:
pEl  The index of the object we want to get the display level value.
pValue  the current display level value.
Returns:
true if successful and false if the specified index is invalid.
Remarks:
in case of a failure, the pValue is left unchanged.

Member Data Documentation

This property handles the use of the Min/Max distances.

Enables the minimum and maximum distance to take effect. For example, if the distance between the group and the camera is smaller than the minimum distance, then the whole group disappears.

To access this property do: MinMaxDistance.Get(). To set this property do: MinMaxDistance.Set(bool).

Default value is false.

Definition at line 115 of file kfbxlodgroup.h.

The minimum distance at which the group is displayed.

To access this property do: MinDistance.Get(). To set this property do: MinDistance.Set(double).

Default value is -100

Definition at line 124 of file kfbxlodgroup.h.

The maximum distance at which the group is displayed.

To access this property do: MaxDistance.Get(). To set this property do: MaxDistance.Set(double).

Default value is 100

Definition at line 133 of file kfbxlodgroup.h.

Work in world space of transform or local space If true, the camera distance to the LOD group will be computed in world space.

This means it is possible to parent the LOD transform below other transforms and still have it work as expected. If this attribute is set to false, the distance computation ignores any parent transforms of the LOD transform.

To access this property do: WorldSpace.Get(). To set this property do: WorldSpace.Set(bool).

Default value is false
