Detailed Description

Baking functionality.

The MPxBakeEngine class is a way for users to override the viewport representation of shaders. Users can provide their own baking engine to bake advanced shading properties into a texture. This texture is used by the viewport to represent the shading properties.

Member Function Documentation

void MPxBakeEngine::setNeedTransparency

(

bool

t

)

Set whether the bake engine needs to produce an image with transparency.

Parameters:

[in]

t

whether transparency is needed

void MPxBakeEngine::getUVRange	(	MFloatArray	minUV,
		MFloatArray	maxUV
	)

Tells Maya the UV range the baked texture should cover.

Parameters:

[out]	minUV	the minimum UV value
[out]	maxUV	the maximum UV value

MStatus MPxBakeEngine::bake	(	const MDagPath &	objectPath,
		const MDagPath &	cameraPath,
		const MPlug &	samplePlug,
		MImage &	result
	)			[pure virtual]

Bake the texture Maya will use to approximate shading properties.

Parameters:

[in]	objectPath	the object the texture will be applied to
[in]	cameraPath	the camera that should be used for baking
[in]	samplePlug	the plug being sampled, ie baked
[out]	result	the texture

Returns:

MS::kSuccess if a valid texture was created, MS::kFailure otherwise
