HairPrimitive Class Reference

---

Detailed Description

This class represents the primitive of an X3DObject used for simulating hair in Softimage and can be accessed with X3DObject::GetActivePrimitive.

HairPrimitive provides access to the CRenderHairAccessor object which allows you to extract the render hair data from the primitive.

5.0

Example:

        using namespace XSI;

        Application app;
        Model root = app.GetActiveSceneRoot();

        X3DObject myCube;
        root.AddGeometry( L"Cube", L"MeshSurface",L"myCube",myCube);

        CValueArray args(1);
        CValue outArg;
        args[0] = myCube;
        app.ExecuteCommand( L"ApplyHairOp", args, outArg ) ;

        X3DObject myHair = myCube.FindChild( L"Hair", L"", CStringArray() );

        HairPrimitive myHairPrim = myHair.GetActivePrimitive();

        bool bHair = myHairPrim.IsValid() && myHairPrim.IsA( siHairPrimitiveID ) == true;
        app.LogMessage( L"Found Hair object: " + CValue(bHair).GetAsTest() );

Member Function Documentation

bool IsA

(

siClassID

in_ClassID

)

const [virtual]

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:

in_ClassID

class type.

Returns:

true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from Primitive.

siClassID GetClassID

(

)

const [virtual]

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:

The class type.

Reimplemented from Primitive.

HairPrimitive& operator=

(

const HairPrimitive &

in_obj

)

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:

in_obj

constant class object.

Returns:

The new HairPrimitive object.

HairPrimitive& operator=

(

const CRef &

in_ref

)

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:

in_ref

constant class object.

Returns:

The new HairPrimitive object.

Reimplemented from Primitive.

CRenderHairAccessor GetRenderHairAccessor	(	LONG	in_nRequestedHairCount,
		LONG	in_nChunksize = 10000,
		double	in_time = DBL_MAX
	)		const

Returns a render hair accessor for this primitive. The render hair accessor generates a renderable representation of a groomed hair primitive. The render hair is iterated over in chunks, rather than all at once, to avoid problems with excessive memory consumption.

Parameters:

in_nRequestedHairCount	Maximum number of hairs desired. The actual number can be less depending on cut and density map settings.
in_nChunksize	Number of hairs to generate on each iteration. By default the chunk size is set to 10000.
in_time	Time (in frames) at which to get the accessor. The default value is DBL_MAX which means the current time in frames.

Returns:

The new CRenderHairAccessor object.

Invalid if in_nRequestedHairCount is 0 or in_nChunksize is larger than in_nRequestedHairCount.
