pure virtual

Delete scene graph material.

See Also: Scene::CreateMaterial; Scene::Clear

Parameters

[in] material Material node

virtual void Scene::EditBegin ( )

pure virtual

Start an edit block.

An edit block defines a time during which the scene graph may be safely modified without renderer synchronization. Edit blocks may be nested.

See Also: Scene::ScopedEdit

Referenced by Scene::ScopedEdit::ScopedEdit().

virtual void Scene::EditEnd ( )

pure virtual

Finish an edit block.

An edit block defines a time during which the scene graph may be safely modified without renderer synchronization. Edit blocks may be nested.

See Also: Scene::ScopedEdit

virtual Group* Scene::FindDagNode ( char const * path) const

pure virtual

Find a DAG node from a identifier path.

Returns a DAG node based on the string identifier path relative to the root node. DAG node paths should use the same separator given to Manager::CreateScene.

See Also: Group::SetIdentifier

Parameters

[in] path Identifier path

Returns: DAG node or nullptr when path is invalid

virtual RtParamList const& Scene::GetOptions ( ) const

pure virtual

Get option list.

Parameters that are globally availible to all scene objects and instances are called options. Options must be set before render begins and are constant for all primitives. Options define scene properties such as searchpaths, resolution, user parameters.

See Also: Scene::SetOptions

Returns: Option list

virtual Error Scene::InvalidateTexture ( RtUString const name)

Invalidate a texture.

Tell the renderer the given texture as dirty and needs to flush it from the texture cache.

virtual Error Scene::Render ( char const * cmd)

pure virtual

Start a live render, batch render, or scene export.

Command mode may be "prman" to render or "rib" to export RIB. Renders may be stopped by calling Scene::Stop. The render mode flags supports several flags:

Flag	Description
"-live"	Interactive rendering supporting scene edits
"-blocking"	Call blocks unitl stopped or converged

For example:

scene->Render("prman -live");             // A non-blocking live render
scene->Render("prman -blocking");         // A blocking batch render
scene->Render("rib /path/to/output.rib"); // A RIB export

See Also: Scene::Stop

Parameters

[in] cmd Render command and flags

Returns: Error code

virtual Group* Scene::Root ( ) const

Returns: The root DAG node

virtual Error Scene::SetDisplayChannel	(	unsigned	num,
		DisplayChannel const *	nodes
	)

pure virtual

Set display channels.

You may specify one or more display channels. These are applied to all renderable cameras. The default display channels are 'Ci' and 'a' (beauty and alpha)

Parameters

[in]	num	The number of channels
[in]	nodes	The display channels

Returns: Error code

virtual Error Scene::SetDisplayFilter	(	unsigned	num,
		Shader const *	nodes
	)

pure virtual

Set display filter shading graph.

You may specify one or more RixDisplayFilter plug-ins that may be networked. Only the root node will be evaluated by the renderer. There is no default display filter plug-in.

Parameters

[in]	num	The number of nodes
[in]	nodes	The displayfilter nodes

Returns: Error code

virtual Error Scene::SetIntegrator	(	unsigned	num,
		Shader const *	nodes
	)

pure virtual

Set integrator shading graph.

Integrators take the camera rays from the projection and return shaded results to the renderer. Integrator shading graphs may contain a single terminal ShaderType::k_Integrator node. The default integrator is "PxrDefault".

Parameters

[in]	num	The number of nodes in the shading graph
[in]	nodes	The integrator nodes

Returns: Error code

virtual Error Scene::SetOptions ( RtParamList const & options)

pure virtual

Set option list.

Parameters that are globally availible to all scene objects and instances are called options. Options must be set before render begins and are constant for all primitives. Options define scene properties such as searchpaths, resolution, user parameters.

See Also: Scene::GetOptions

Parameters

[in] options Option list

Returns: Error code

virtual Error Scene::SetSampleFilter	(	unsigned	num,
		Shader const *	nodes
	)

pure virtual

Set sample filter shading graph.

Sample filter shading graphs may contain zero or more ShaderType::k_SampleFilter nodes. You may specify one or more RixSampleFilter plug-ins that may be networked. Only the root node will be evaluated by the renderer. There is no default sample filter plug-in.

Parameters

[in]	num	The number of nodes
[in]	nodes	The samplefilter nodes

Returns: Error code

virtual Error Scene::SetUpdateIdCallback	(	UpdateIdCallback	callback,
		void *	ctx
	)

pure virtual

Optional callback to provide the object ids.

If this callback is set then is it queried for integer attributes "identifier:id" and "identifier:id2" values that will be rendered into the "id" channel.

Parameters

[in]	callback	The function to be called when ever an object is created/modified
[in]	ctx	User context quoted back to the callback

Returns: Error code

virtual Error Scene::Stop ( )

pure virtual

Stop a live render.

This blocking call returns once the renderer has fully stopped.

See Also: Scene::Render

Returns: Error code
