Detailed Description

The ImpostorProcessor generates a two-triangle billboard impostor geometry of an input geometry from a specific viewing angle, and casts textures and normals from the original geometry to the impostor.

Member Function Documentation

CalculateImpostorAspectRatio()

virtual real SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::CalculateImpostorAspectRatio ( )

pure virtual

Returns the aspect ratio that the impostor from a certain vector will generate, so the mapping setting can be set accordingly. TextureHeight * AspectRatio = TextureWidth

GetClass()

virtual const char* SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::GetClass ( )

virtual

GetClass returns the name of the class of the object.

Returns

the name of the actual class of the object, as a const char string

Reimplemented from SimplygonSDK::IProcessingObject.

GetImpostorGeometry()

virtual CountedPointer<IGeometryData> SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::GetImpostorGeometry ( )

pure virtual

The Impostor GeometryData.

Returns

the Impostor GeometryData object created by the processor

GetImpostorSettings()

virtual CountedPointer<IImpostorSettings> SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::GetImpostorSettings ( )

pure virtual

The settings for the ImpostorProcessor.

Returns

the ImpostorProcessor settings object associated with the processor

GetMappingImage()

virtual CountedPointer<IMappingImage> SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::GetMappingImage ( )

pure virtual

The MappingImage for the Impostor geometry.

Returns

the MappingImage object associated with the processor

GetMappingImageSettings()

virtual CountedPointer<IMappingImageSettings> SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::GetMappingImageSettings ( )

pure virtual

The settings for the the MappingImage.

Returns

the MappingImage settings object associated with the processor

IsA()

virtual bool SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::IsA ( const char *  type ) const

virtual

The IsA function returns true if the object is a or is a descendant of the class named as the type parameter

Parameters

type	is the name of the class to check if the object is, or is a descendant of

Returns

true if the object is of the specified class, false if not

Reimplemented from SimplygonSDK::IProcessingObject.

IsClassA()

static bool SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::IsClassA ( const char *  type )

inlinestatic

The IsClassA function returns true if IImpostorProcessor is a or is a descendant of the class named as the type parameter

Parameters

type	is the name of the class to check if the class is, or is a descendant of

Returns

true if the class is of the specified class, false if not

Definition at line 19315 of file SimplygonSDK.h.

SafeCast()

static IImpostorProcessor* SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::SafeCast ( IObject *  ptr )

inlinestatic

SafeCast makes sure the pointer is of a class that can be cast into a IImpostorProcessor pointer, and if this is possible, returns the cast pointer.

Parameters

ptr	is the pointer to be cast into a IImpostorProcessor pointer

Returns

a pointer to the IImpostorProcessor object, if the cast can be made, and a NULL pointer otherwise

Definition at line 19328 of file SimplygonSDK.h.

SetGeometry()

virtual void SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::SetGeometry ( IGeometryData *  value )

pure virtual

Set the input geometry used for impostor processing.

Parameters

value

is the input GeometryData

SetScene()

virtual void SimplygonSDK::IImpostorProcessor::SetScene ( IScene *  value )

pure virtual

Set the scene for the impostor processing. Please note that internal refrences might be modified by the processor. The caller should refresh any reference that is cached outside the scene after running the processor.

Parameters

value

is the scene
