Hi everyone,

I'm probably missing something obvious here, but how do I add GI to the render settings? I thought that I could do PluginVideoPost::Alloc() then insert that into the active render data for the document. Of course, the Alloc() call wants the type of videopost as a parameter and I can't find that for GI in the SDK.

Am I going about this the right way or is GI not treated as a videopost? In which case, how do you add GI?

Many thanks,

Steve

Yes, GI is allocated just like other videoposts.

The ID is VPglobalillumination.

Example:

  
Bool MenuTest::Execute(BaseDocument *doc)  
{  
  RenderData *rdata = NULL;  
  rdata = doc->GetActiveRenderData();  
  if (!rdata) return FALSE;  
  
  PluginVideoPost *pvp = NULL;  
  pvp = PluginVideoPost::Alloc(VPglobalillumination);  
  if (!pvp) return FALSE;  
  
  doc->StartUndo();  
  
  rdata->InsertVideoPost(pvp, NULL);  
  
  doc->AddUndo(UNDO_NEW, pvp);  
  
  doc->EndUndo();  
  
  rdata->Message(MSG_UPDATE);  
  
  EventAdd();  
  
  return TRUE;  
}

cheers,
Matthias
