Detailed Description

Object that allows to create hierarchical tree like structures.

An object can have siblings and branches with children. By default the children are all stored in the default branch branchId == ConstDataPtr(). But you can add as many branches to categorize and separate different flavors of children. You can do this by defining different branches like in this example:

enum class IMAGEHIERARCHY
{
MASK,
MASK
A mask for all regular flags.
Definition: assets.h:6
MAX_ELEMENTS
Definition: gfx_image.h:6
TEXTURE
Root of everything. Must not be used with AddChildren.
Definition: gfx_image.h:1
IMAGEHIERARCHY
used by ImageBaseInterface to add layers/alphas/images to the right sub tree in the hierarchy.
Definition: gfx_image.h:109
maxon::CompactableAssetRepositoryInterface MAXON_ENUM_LIST
LAYER
Layer mode.
Definition: lib_activeobjectmanager.h:17
ALPHA
Definition: lib_birender.h:3
IMAGE
Filename Image input, one DescID.
Definition: lib_substance.h:9

You can then pass the branch to one of the functions below by replacing the default ConstDataPtr() by a different id. This example will return the first child of IMAGEHIERARCHY::IMAGE branch.

HierarchyObjectRef child = object.GetFirstChild(ConstDataPtr(IMAGEHIERARCHY::IMAGE))
@ IMAGE
Adds a subImage to a texture. Images are only allowed under Textures.
