Inheritance diagram for BaseShader:

Detailed Description

Represents a shader in the shader tree of a channel. Call BaseChannel::GetShader() to retrieve an instance.

Note

Has to be created with Alloc() and destroyed with Free(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Member Function Documentation

Alloc()

static BaseShader* Alloc ( Int32  type )

static

Allocates a shader. Destroy the allocated shader with Free(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Parameters

[in]

type

The shader type: Shader Types

Returns

The allocated shader, or nullptr if the allocation failed.

Free()

static void Free ( BaseShader *&  ps )

static

Destructs shaders allocated with Alloc(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.

Parameters

[in]

ps

The shader to destruct. If the pointer is nullptr nothing happens. The pointer is assigned nullptr afterwards.

GetNext()

BaseShader* GetNext

(

)

Gets the next shader in the list. Convenience version of GeListNode::GetNext() returning a BaseShader*.

Returns

The next shader, or nullptr if there is none. Cinema 4D owns the pointed shader.

GetPred()

BaseShader* GetPred

(

)

Gets the previous shader in the list. Convenience version of GeListNode::GetPred() returning a BaseShader*.

Returns

The previous shader, or nullptr if there is none. Cinema 4D owns the pointed shader.

GetUp()

BaseShader* GetUp

(

)

Gets the parent shader of the list node. Convenience version of GeListNode::GetUp() returning a BaseShader*.

Returns

The parent shader, or nullptr if there is none. Cinema 4D owns the pointed shader.

GetDown()

BaseShader* GetDown

(

)

Gets the first child shader of the list node. Convenience version of GeListNode::GetDown() returning a BaseShader*.

Returns

The first child shader, or nullptr if there is none. Cinema 4D owns the pointed shader.

GetDownLast()

BaseShader* GetDownLast

(

)

Gets the last child shader of the list node. Convenience version of GeListNode::GetDownLast() returning a BaseShader*.

Returns

The last child shader, or nullptr if there is none. Cinema 4D owns the pointed shader.

InitRender()

INITRENDERRESULT InitRender

(

const InitRenderStruct &

is

)

Calls ShaderData::InitRender() for the corresponding shader plugin.

Warning

It is mandatory to call this method before any Sample(), SampleBump() or GetBitmap() functions.

Parameters

[in]

is

A struct with information about the upcoming render. The caller owns the pointed struct.

Returns

The result of the initialization: INITRENDERRESULT

FreeRender()

void FreeRender

(

)

Frees all resources used by this shader that were allocated by calling InitRender().

Sample()

Vector Sample

(

ChannelData *

cd

)

Calls ShaderData::Output() for the corresponding shader plugin. The channel color for the point cd->p is calculated.

Note

This method has to be called within a pair of /@ref FreeRender() calls.

Parameters

[in]

cd

A pointer to a channel data struct to use for the sampling. The caller owns the pointed ChannelData.

Returns

The calculated color.

SampleBump()

Vector SampleBump	(	ChannelData *	cd,
		SAMPLEBUMP	bumpflags
	)

This function allows you to calculate bump mapping for a shader (and its children) with the same algorithm as Cinema 4D does.
The method returns the delta vector that is added to the normal. The resulting normal is calculated by

n_dst = !(n_src + SampleBump(SAMPLEBUMP _0));     // Normalize result

where n_src is the original normal and n_dst is the bumped normal.

Note

This method has to be called within a pair of /@ref FreeRender() calls.
Also, the BaseVolumeData::ddu and BaseVolumeData::ddv vectors have to be initialized. Use VolumeData::GetDUDV() or set them manually.

Parameters

[in]	cd	A pointer to a channel data struct to use for the sampling the bump. The caller owns the pointed ChannelData.
[in]	bumpflags	The flags: SAMPLEBUMP

Returns

The delta normal.

GetBitmap()

BaseBitmap* GetBitmap

(

)

Gets the bitmap for shaders of type Xbitmap.

Note

This method has to be called within a pair of /@ref FreeRender() calls.

Returns

The bitmap of shaders of type Xbitmap, otherwise nullptr.

Warning

The return bitmap must be accessed as read-only.

GetRenderInfo()

SHADERINFO GetRenderInfo

(

)

Calls ShaderData::GetRenderInfo() for the corresponding shader plugin. This retrieves information about what the plugin requires from the raytracer and what it will return.

Returns

The return values are: SHADERINFO

Compare()

Bool Compare

(

BaseShader *

dst

)

Checks if *this is similar to *dst.

Parameters

[in]

dst

The shader to compare with. The caller owns the pointed shader.

Returns

true if the shaders are the same, otherwise false.

IsColorManagementOff()

Bool IsColorManagementOff

(

BaseDocument *

doc

)

Checks if color management is disabled for shaders within reflectance, bump, alpha, displacement or normal channels when linear workflow is enabled.

Parameters

[in]

doc

The document to check color management. The caller owns the pointed document.

Returns

true if color management is disabled, otherwise false.

GetSubsurfaceShader()

BaseShader* GetSubsurfaceShader

(

Float &

bestmpl

)

Gets the best SSS shader.

Note

If the shader uses subshaders it is crucial to call their GetSubsurfaceShader() method override so if any subshaders are in fact SSS shaders they are used and initialized properly.

See also

ShaderData::GetSubsurfaceShader()

Parameters

[in]

bestmpl

The current best (smallest) Median Path Length.

Returns

The best SSS shader.

HasGPURendererSupport()

Bool HasGPURendererSupport

(

)

const

Checks if the shader is supported by the GPU Renderer.

Since

R19

Returns

true if the shader is natively supported by the GPU Renderer, otherwise false.

BakeShaderIntoBaseBitmap()

Bool BakeShaderIntoBaseBitmap	(	BaseBitmap &	outBmp,
		BaseDocument &	doc,
		BaseThread *	parentThread,
		Bool	doAlpha,
		Int32	colorSpace,
		Bool	linearworkflow,
		Bool	useHDR,
		Int	xmin,
		Int	xmax,
		Int	ymin,
		Int	ymax
	)

Bakes the shader into a BaseBitmap

Since

R21

Parameters

[out]	outBmp	The BaseBitmap that is baked into.
[in]	doc	The document.
[in]	parentThread	The parent thread used to check for interruption The caller owns the pointed BaseThread.

[in]	ymax	The max in y.

Returns

true if baking succeeded, otherwise false.
