Detailed Description

class IAssetManager : public RED::IREDObject

Resource management interface.

One asset manager instance must be created from the ART::Factory using the CID_ARTAssetManager identifier. The asset manager is a singleton. The asset manager handles all resources needed by the world to run the simulation.

Public Functions

SET_CID(CID_class_ARTIAssetManager)
virtual RED_RC LoadAtlas(RED::Object *&oAtlas, RED::Vector<RED::Object*> &oCameras, unsigned int &oContext, const RED::String &iName, ART::ProgressCallback iProgress = NULL, void *iParam = NULL) = 0

Loads an atlas.

This method loads the specified atlas file identified by ‘iName’. The loaded atlas must then be set as a planetary atlas using ART::IPlanet::SetAtlas. The atlas is managed by the ART::IAssetManager.

Parameters
  • oAtlas – The loaded atlas object. NULL if nothing was loaded.

  • oCameras – List of cameras associated to the atlas. These implement the ART::ICamera interface.

  • oContext – Data context of the loaded atlas. Needed for releasing the data.

  • iName – Atlas complete filename. Must be a .red file exported by the REDart editor.

  • iProgress – pointer to an optional progress callback.

  • iParam – optional parameter to the progress callback.

Returns

RED_OK if the method has succeeded,

RED_FAIL if the .red file is not a valid atlas file,

Other file access, read RED_RC error codes from the REDsdk API.

virtual RED_RC DeleteAtlas(unsigned int iContext) = 0

Deletes an atlas loaded with ART::IAssetManager::LoadAtlas.

Parameters

iContext – Data context provided at the loading time.

Returns

RED_OK if the method has succeeded,

This method loads an environment map that can be used instead of an atlas. The loaded environment is a classic latitude longitude HDR map image. The method also returns the axis system on the planet that was used to create the map (so in Planet Coordinate System - PCS) as well as the planetary axis system (in World Coordinate System - WCS) that was used to create the map, so that the sun can be properly repositioned using ART::IPlanet::OverrideAxisSystem.

  • iProgress – progress callback.

  • iUserData – progress callback user data.

Returns

RED_OK if the method has succeeded,

Any RED_RC from the file management API in case of an inacessible, unreadable file,

Generates vertex ambient occlusion for a geometry. Also generates ground AO if iHasGround is true.

oVertexAO size = geometry opaque vertex count + geometry transparent vertex count + geometry masked vertex count

  • geometry PBR opaque vertex count.

The generated data can be set to the geometry with ART::IGeometry::SetVertexAO and ART::IGeometry::SetGroundAO.

Please make sure that the world does not get updated while running this method.

The ground is always there for GI calculations, at iGroundAltitude and iGround Color. Set a negative value far away to discard the ground influence on GI if this is wished. If iComputeGroundAO is enabled, the field of oGroundAO is calculated, otherwise it’s let empty.

Parameters
  • oVertexAO – Returned list of ambient occlusion values for each vertex of the geometry.

  • oVertexGI – Returned list of GI color values for each vertex of the geometry.

  • oGroundAO – Returned ground ambient occlusion. Copy of the loaded array, must be released by the caller. Size is ART_GEOMETRY_AO_GROUND_FIELD_RESOLUTION * ART_GEOMETRY_AO_GROUND_FIELD_RESOLUTION.

  • oGroundBC – returned bounding circle used to calibrate the ground ambient occlusion.

  • iGeometry – ART::Geometry to build the AO for.

  • iComputeGroundAO – When true, calculate the ground field ao in oGroundAO.

  • iGroundAltitude – Altitude of the ground. Vertical is +Z. Set the value to -DBL_MAX to remove any ground effect.

  • iGroundColor – Color of the ground to use for the GI calculations.

  • iQuality – The quality of the calculations in [ 0, 4 ]. 0 means 64 rays fired per vertex, so this can lead to some noise in the result. +1 multiplies the number of rays by 2, so that iQuality = 4 means 1024 samples fired. A good quality / performance tradeoff is a quality of 2 with 256 rays fired per vertex.

  • iProgress – progress callback.

  • iUserData – progress callback user data.

virtual RED_RC GenerateGIFilteringPositions(RED::Vector<RED::Vector3> &ioFilterPos, const RED::Vector3 &iReference, bool iIndoor, const RED::Object *iSceneRoot, double iSpacing, double iGroundAltitude, ART::ProgressCallback iProgress = NULL, void *iUserData = NULL) = 0

Generates GI filtering positions for the specified source scene.

This method generates a list of filtering positions that can be used afterwards for the generation of a GI cache. These filtering positions are either computed for indoor rendering or for outdoor rendering.

The method will start from the specified iReference position and explore the iSceneRoot to generate relevant positions that can be viewed and reached out from iReference. For instance, if iReference is inside a closed box, all filtering positions will be generated inside that box, since it won’t be possible to reach any point outside of this box starting from iReference. Transparent surfaces can be crossed.

All calculations are performed in the coordinate system of geometries contained by iSceneRoot.

A model whose space is not properly split in indoor and outdoor regions should only generate one set of indoor filtering positions for the entire model. The partition between indoor and outdoor areas of the model can be achieved using any geometry, including portals, window glasses or any other element. Its important that these geometries do split the model in two parts, otherwise filtering positions can leak in another area and the resulting GI caches of these areas will incorrectly overlap when merged.

Filtering positions can be preserved and don’t need to be recalculated unless the model geometry has changed.

Filtering positions are spread evenly on a grid using the iSpacing distance between them. The number of filtering positions that can be spread out is limited internally to avoid overflowing the GI cache generation afterwards.

Please make sure that the world does not get updated while running this method.

Parameters
  • ioFilterPos – The generated list of filtering positions which is appened at the end of ioFilterPos.

  • iReference – The reference position that must be in the considered domain.

  • iIndoor – If true, we compute indoor positions, if false, we compute outdoor positions.

  • iSceneRoot – The root of the scene to process.

  • iSpacing – Spacing between filtering positions in scene units.

  • iGroundAltitude – Altitude of the ground surrounding the geometry in meters. No filtering positions will be generated below the ground. Vertical axis is +Z.

  • iProgress – progress callback.

  • iUserData – progress callback user data.
