Detailed Description

Represents the LPE system state of a light transport path.

Generally, this class provides an API into the internal state of a particular light transport path with respect to the Light Path Expression (LPE) automata. Use the RixLPE::AllocateStates() and RixLPE:FreeStates() methods to allocate and free RixLPEState instances. Then use the MoveCamera(), MoveVertex(), MoveLight() and MoveEmissiveObject() methods of this class in order to perform state transitions at each corresponding type of light scattering event along a light transport path.

PRMAN_INLINE void RixLPEState::MoveCamera	(	RixShadingContext const *	sCtx,

Call this method at a camera event along a light transport path.

This is typically the first state transition along a light transport path. Pass in the shading context and the index of the shading sample in the batch.

Second overload of the MoveCamera() method that accepts a path throughput.

This is typically the first state transition along a light transport path. Pass in the shading context, the index of the shading sample in the batch and the path throughput.

The RixShadingContext shading state The index of the shading sample in shading context The current path throughput at this scattering event.

		int	sCtxIndex,
		RtColorRGB const &	thruput,
		RixLPEToken	lpeGroupId = `RixLPE::k_BLANK`
	)

Call this method at an emissive object event along a light transport path.

This is typically the last state transition along a light transport path. Pass in the shading context, the index of the shading sample in the batch, the path throughput, and a token identifying the LPE group.

The RixShadingContext shading state The index of the shading sample in shading context The current path throughput at this scattering event A RixLPEToken identifying the LPE group of the emissive geometry.

PRMAN_INLINE void RixLPEState::MoveLight	(	RixShadingContext const *	sCtx,
		int	sCtxIndex,
		RtColorRGB const &	thruput,
		RtColorRGB const *	lightTrans,
		bool	firstContribution,
		RixLPEToken	lgtLpeToken
	)

Call this method at a light event along a light transport path.

This is typically the last state transition along a light transport path. Pass in the shading context, the index of the shading sample in the batch, the path throughput, the transmission to the light, and a token identifying the light in the LPE subsystem.

◆ MoveVertex() [1/2]

PRMAN_INLINE void RixLPEState::MoveVertex	(	RixShadingContext const *	sCtx,
		int	sCtxIndex,
		RixLPEScatterEvent const	scatterEvent,
		RixLPEToken	lpeGroupId = `RixLPE::k_BLANK`
	)

Invoke this method at an intermediate (non-camera/non-light) scattering event along a light transport path.

When light scatters along a light transport path, call this method to transition the state in the LPE automata. This method is intended to be invoked for intermediate light scattering events after MoveCamera() has transitioned out of the camera, and before the light path arrives at the light source (e.g., before MoveLight() / MoveEmissiveObject() are invoked).

◆ MoveVertex() [2/2]

PRMAN_INLINE void RixLPEState::MoveVertex	(	RixShadingContext const *	sCtx,
		int	sCtxIndex,
		RixLPEScatterEvent const	scatterEvent,
		const RtColorRGB &	thruput,
		RixLPEToken	lpeGroupId = `RixLPE::k_BLANK`,
		bool	doStateTransition = `true`
	)

Second overload of the MoveVertex() method that accepts a path throughput and an optional argument about whether to perform a state transition.

Invoke this overload of the MoveVertex() method in order to communicate the current path throughput to the LPE subsystem. The path throughput information can later be used to attenuate display channel outputs appropriately.
