Detailed Description

See also:

IMtlRender_Compatibility_MtlBase, Class ClassDesc2, Class Mtl, Class Texmap

Description:

This interface is used to determine whether a Renderer flags itself as being compatible with a specific material/map plugin. If the Renderer flags itself as being compatible with a material/map, then it is deemed compatible with that material/map regardless of what class IMtlRender_Compatibility_MtlBase might say.

Implementation instructions:

To be inheritted by a ClassDesc or ClassDesc2 of a Renderer plugin. The child class needs to call Init(*this) in its constructor.

Default compatibility:

If neither the renderer nor the material/map implements the compatibility interface, they are considered compatible by default.
