Hello,

there is no thing as mouse direction. The mouse has a position. The direction is the result of comparing two mouse positions.

as @zipit stated, you can create a tool that implements MouseInput(). Within MouseInput() you can use ViewportSelect.PickObject() to check what object and what point the mouse is currently over (Using BaseView.SW()). You can store the previous mouse position and compare it to the current mouse position to calculate the direction.

Unfortunately, there is an issue with the Python version of PickObject() (How do I find the z-depth with Python ViewportSelect.PickObject()?), so you might have to implement your idea as a C++ plugin. You find some code in the pickobject.cpp example.

best wishes,
Sebastian

Hello,
Yes I want to dynamically change the "limit" of the UI depending on other parameters.
Thank you for the ZIP example.

This is the C++ code of the shader:

Hello,

just to make things clear: the above snippet is NOT the "C++ code of the shader".

It is the resource parameter description, that defines the parameter types and layout. See Description Resource.

@r_gigante
Yes! It's really helpful.🍻

Hi,

check RENDERFLAGS (Link). You will have listen in NodeData.Message() for them. I never did use this, but checking for RENDERFLAGS_PREVIEWRENDER sounds promising.

@zipit and @m_magalhaes

Thanks for the confirmation. Will close this thread for now. Will just ask separate question on GeUserAreas.

hi,

yes closed is a better word in that case, I still need to add something in the documentation.

hello,

We need to ask if you are compiling the SDK, your own project, etc.
Different question, you should open a different thread 🙂
It will help other people to find the thread.

Cheers,
Manuel

@m_magalhaes

Thanks.

Next time I will follow the instruction.
Thanks

Hello Sebastian,
thanks for this quick response!
I dind't know about this. But this solved my issue!

hello,

Just to confirm what @zipit came with, it's not possible to handle GeDialog transparency.

Hello,

Thanks for sharing your answer @zipit and @Cairyn

Cheers,
Manuel

Hello Manuel,
thank you very much! This was exactly what I needed!

It is not exactly for my own render engine. I just wanted to implement an open source one as a side-project and to familiarize myself with that topic by just doing it.

Best Regards
Florian

This issue is now fixed in R21. So you don't need to manually SetDirty / Send the message.
