| ShaderDef | Represents a custom shader definition |
| ShaderParamDef | Represents the definition of a ShaderParameter object |
| ShaderParamDefContainer | Represents a set of ShaderParamDef, ShaderArrayParamDef, and/or ShaderStructParamDef objects |
| ShaderParamDefOptions | Represents the advanced options for a shader parameter definition (ShaderParamDef) object |
| ShaderParameter | Represents a shader parameter as a specialization of the Parameter interface on a Shader |
| ShaderStructParamDef | Represents the Structure specialization of a shader parameter definition |
| ShapeClip | A ShapeClip is an instance of a shape key (source) at a particular position along a shape track in the animation mixer |
| ShapeKey | A ShapeKey represents a special ClusterProperty which is used to store a specific geometry. ShapeKeys provide information about how the shape of a cluster changes by either storing its absolute value, an offset based on the object referential or values base on the local reference frame of vertices |
| SimulationEnvironment | The SimulationEnvironment object represents a construct which is used to define a simulation. For now SimulationEnvironment objects are used only for RigidBody simulations. A simulation environment is a set of connection containers, one for each kind of element in the simulation: the rigid body objects, the rigid body constraints and the forces |
| SIObject | SIObject derives from CBase and acts as the base class for the Softimage Object Model library. Unlike CBase, this class provides some high-level services such as object naming. It also provides accessors to the object parent and to the Application object |
| Source | Sources are references to data which are instantiated. For example, a shape source becomes a ShapeClip in the animation mixer when it is instantiated there |
| StaticKinematicState | The StaticKinematicState object represents the base pose of an object. Objects that have access to the StaticKinematicState object include: |
| StaticSource | The StaticSource object represents a constant value stored as an AnimationSourceItem. When instantiated, the parameter value takes on the value of the StaticSource. A static pose is a kind of a StaticSource |
| SubComponent | Provides access to the subelements of an object's Geometry |
| Texture | Specific Shader object which is a member of the Texture Shaders family (siTextureShaderFamily) |
| TextureLayer | The TextureLayer is an object which simplifies layering of shader effects on top of shaders and materials. Each layer has a set of properties which describe its characteristics (such as color, mixing mode, scale factor) to specify how it will affect the shader ports it drives. The order that layers appear under a container indicates the order the layering is applied, similar to the way a "mix N colors" shader node works |
| TextureLayerPort | The TextureLayerPort is an object used to describe which specific shader and material parameters a TextureLayer affects. Like shader connections, they indicate what shader ports are being driven by the layer |
| TimeControl | The TimeControl object represents the clip's Time Control property, which is used to specify the time reference for a given Clip object |
| TimerEvent | A TimerEvent represents a system timer and allows you to specify the interval and the delay time at which a timer elapses. Timers in Softimage are independent of the timeline clock and can be used to produce recurrent work accurately. For example, you can implement an autosave mechanism with a TimerEvent |
| ToolContext | ToolContext is used for accessing/handling tool data. Instances of this object can pass information to the C++ API callbacks that implement the custom tool plug-in item |
| Track | A Track represents the container of clips used to sequence clips in the ClipContainer |
| Transition | This object represents a transition between two clips. A transition is an interpolation used to smooth passing from the end of one clip to the beginning of another |
| Triangle | Represents a triangle generated by a surface tesselation |
| TriangleVertex | A TriangleVertex represents a Point of a Triangle object |
| UIObject | The UIObject is the base class for Softimage UI objects such as UIPersistable and MenuItem. This class has no specific functions |
| UIPersistable | The UIPersistable object is the base class for Softimage UI persistable objects such as the View and Layout objects |
| UIToolkit | Provides access to Softimage user interface tools such as the ProgressBar object and the MsgBox function |
| UpdateContext | This object represents the operator update context. It gives access to the operator and the evaluation time. The UpdateContext is only valid within the context of the Update() function for operators that are based on a Preset and SPDL. Self-Installed CustomOperators use the OperatorContext object instead |
| UserDataBlob | The UserDataBlob is a Property that can be attached to many different parts of a scene, for example Cameras, Lights, other X3DObjects and Clusters. It allows a plug-in to read, write and persist binary user data as part of a scene |
| UserDataMap | The UserDataMap is a Property that can be attached to any cluster. It permits the storage of variable-length binary user data on the individual components of a geometry. The data is stored as part of the scene file and can be accessed via plug-ins using the C++ API |
| UVProperty | UVProperty is a kind of ClusterProperty object used for storing and accessing the UV information of a cluster |
| CValue::ValueField | |
| ValueMap | Represents a special container to hold key-value pairs, similar to an associative array |
| Vertex | The Vertex object gives access to the geometry vertices of an X3DObject's Primitive. A Vertex is the object PolygonMesh specifics of the Point object |
| View | The View object represents an instance of a view in Softimage |
| ViewContext | The ViewContext object serves 2 functions for Custom Displays: |
| X3DObject | The X3DObject object represents a basic 3D object of a scene in Softimage |
| xsimrAttributeData | A structure containing the information for a single attribute |
| xsimrAttributeImageTimeMap | List of range to frame mapping values |
| xsimrLightData | Stores information about whether the diffuse and specular are applied |
| xsimrLightIllumData | If set by a shader, will be filled in by Softimage's light shaders to contain a separated light and shadow information. Also contains the amount of contribution this light gives to the diffuse and specular components of the shading model |
| xsimrMesh | A user data applied on meshes |
| xsimrMeshAttribute | A structure representing an ICE attribute on a mesh |
| xsimrParticleBlob | Particle data blob structure |
| xsimrParticleShape | Particle shape structure |
| xsimrPointCloudData | The main particle data header |
| xsimrPointCloudIndex | Stores the PointCloud index |
| xsimrProfileCurveData | A profile curve data sampled into linear segments |
| xsimrTimeMapValue | A single range to frame mapping entry |
