Detailed Description

class IViewpoint : public RED::IREDObject
This is the REDsdk camera.
@related Viewpoints, class RED::IViewpointRenderList
The CID_REDViewpoint object defines a visualization frustum in the world coordinate system of the scene graph it contains. A viewpoint need to be inserted in a window (RED::IWindow), or added to a viewpoint render list (RED::IViewpointRenderList) in a window to be part of the rendering. See the RED::IWindow::InsertViewpoint and RED::IViewpointRenderList::InsertViewpoint methods for that.
The viewpoint is a state managed object. Therefore, accessing viewpoints parameters is either performed in read-only using a transaction number or in read-write using a RED::State class retrieved from the cluster’s resource manager (RED::IResourceManager interface).
The viewpoint offers methods to entirely define the viewing frustum for orthographic, perspective both symmetric or asymmetric, as well as a set of pre-defined navigation methods, making its use easier. It’s also possible to define custom projection models, by directly supplying the frustum matrix to the object.
Transformations are set so that the eye position lies at the center of the screen, up being headed toward the top of the window, and right to the right of the screen. This means that the top left corner of the raster display is at coordinates x negatives and y positives for the viewpoint axis, as shown by the illustration below:
Viewpoints must define a near distance and a far distance. These two parameters are used to define which data will be inside the truncated viewing pyramid or parallelogram defined by the perpective and orthographic projection models. The entire Z-Buffer range of values is mapped to match that near / far range.
A viewpoint is built by default centered at ( 100.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f) looking at the origin, headed up with a perspective projection of hemi-fov set to RED_PI / 4.0f.
Viewpoints that are destroyed delete all scene graph objects they visualize and that are not visualized by any other viewpoint. A viewpoint is destroyed by a call to RED::Factory::DeleteInstance.

virtual RED_RC SetFrustumCustom(const RED::Matrix &iMatrix, const RED::State &iState) = 0
Defines a custom projection type for this viewpoint.
This method lets you define a custom projection matrix for this camera. The viewpoint is neither considered as being parallel nor perspective: the projection transformation is entirely defined by the iMatrix specified in this call.
Practically, iMatrix is used to set the GL_PROJECTION matrix for this camera in the OpenGL pipeline. Note that the camera axis system still needs to be defined in a standard way.
As we can’t extract the frustum boundaries from the provided matrix, several engine features are disabled for custom projection viewpoints:
Auto-range shadow maps calculations are ignored,
Frustum culling is disabled unless RED::IViewpoint::SetCustomClipPlanes is called. Please note that culling callbacks still work even with custom projections.
The viewpoint is turned into a custom projection viewpoint after this call.
- Parameters
iMatrix – The projection matrix to use for this viewpoint.
iState – Current transaction.
- Returns
RED_OK if the operation has succeeded,
RED_ALLOC_FAILURE if an internal allocation has failed,

a reference to the post-processing pipeline description structure.
-
virtual RED_RC AddRenderShaderParameter(int iIndex, const RED::RenderShaderParameter &iParam, const RED::State &iState) = 0
Defines a RED::RenderShaderParameter for the camera.
This method can be used to register a list of RED::RenderShaderParameter objects into the viewpoint. A RED::RenderShaderParameter is used by RED::RenderShader objects used themselves by materials (RED::IMaterial).
That list of shader parameters - specified at the viewpoint level - defines kind of global parameters that are common to all materials visualized in the context of the scene graph. Then, a shader parameter used in a render shader used in a material of the scene graph can be set to point to a replacement parameter defined in this list, as illustrated by the picture below:
Each camera in the scene has a parameter storing a color: yellow for the first camera, blue for the second camera. During the rendering of each camera scene graph, the geometry shading will look for the referenced parameter in the list of parameters available from the camera. This can for example replace the shading color of the geometry.
So we see that we can globalize parameters across materials at the level of the camera thanks to this method. Each camera can then redefine the values used for each referenced parameter according to its own needs.
Adding a parameter at an index entry that is already in use will replace the parameter value for that index using the new iParam.
The parameter in the shader declared as a RED::RenderShaderParameter::REF_CAMERA_PARAMETER whose value is set to an index value that’ll be used to look for the corresponding camera parameter bearing the same ‘iIndex’ value.
Then, the corresponding parameter ‘iParam’ dynamically replaces the reference parameter stored in the shader during any rendering phase. The type and value of the reference are replaced by the values of ‘iParam’. However, the binding position, name and target of the original reference parameter remain those used for the rendering phase.
- Parameters
iIndex – The index of the parameter in the camera list. This number will be used to uniquely identify that parameter from the RED::RenderShaderParameter::REF_CAMERA_PARAMETER reference. The ‘iIndex’ value -1 is reserved.
iParam – The parameter to register in the camera.
iState – Current transaction parameter.
- Returns
RED_OK if the operation has succeeded,
RED_WORKFLOW_ERROR if a transaction error has occurred,
RED_ALLOC_FAILURE if an internal allocation has failed,
RED_FAIL otherwise.
-
virtual RED_RC RemoveRenderShaderParameter(int iIndex, const RED::State &iState) = 0
Removes a camera RED::RenderShaderParameter.
This method removes the parameter registered in the camera list that is identified by iIndex.
See RED::IViewpoint::AddRenderShaderParameter for all details on camera level parameters.
- Parameters
iIndex – Index of the parameter in the camera list.
iState – Current transaction parameter.
- Returns
RED_OK if the operation has succeeded,
RED_WORKFLOW_ERROR if a transaction error has occurred,
RED_ALLOC_FAILURE if an internal allocation has failed,

This method gets the shader parameter stored in the camera at iIndex. If no parameter is available at iIndex, oParam is returned with an empty string name and a type set to RED::RenderShaderParameter::FREE.
See RED::IViewpoint::AddRenderShaderParameter for all details on camera level parameters.
- Parameters
oParam – Returned copy of the accessed parameter.
iIndex – Index of the parameter to access in the camera list.
iStateNumber – Accessed transaction number.
- Returns
RED_OK if the method has succeeded,
RED_BAD_PARAM if the method has received an invalid parameter,

-
virtual const RED::Map<int, RED::RenderShaderParameter> &GetRenderShaderParameters(int iStateNumber = -1) const = 0
Gets the entire list of RED::RenderShaderParameter registered in that viewpoint.
This method returns a reference on the internal list of RED::RenderShaderParameter objects stored by the class. The returned values should not be edited directly and are valid until a transaction is closed. Use multi-threaded RED::Map parsing to get through this list if your application uses several threads for operating REDsdk.
- Parameters
iStateNumber – The accessed transaction number.
- Returns
A reference on the internal map stored by the viewpoint.
-
virtual RED_RC SetFloatingOrigin(const RED::Matrix &iMatx, const RED::State &iState) = 0
Define a floating origin for the camera and for its scene graph.
This method can be used to store an extra transformation matrix to be applied to the camera viewing matrix and to the scene graph that is stored by the camera. Setting up a iMatx floating origin has the same effect as setting that same iMatx matrix on the root of the scene graph stored by this camera and to premultiply the camera viewing matrix by iMatx.
Data managed by the camera remain unaffected by the floating origin. The floating origin is only applied during the rendering of data.
This is a GPU only feature. Software ray-tracing is performed on original data.
See \ref bk_ra_floating_origins for all details on floating origins.
Using this method has two benefits over storing the floating origin on the scene graph:
The floating origin is generally not part of the data themselves, and keeping it separated is generally more handy for understanding matrices and coordinates in a scene graph.
The floating origin is a dynamic matrix. Applying a dynamic matrix on large scene graphs can be expensive due to the propagation of the matrix throughout the graph while setting a floating origin on the viewpoint is an operation at no cost.
- Parameters
iMatx – The value of the floating origin. Set RED::Matrix::IDENTITY to reset the floating origin.
iState – Current transaction parameter.
- Returns
RED_OK if the operation has succeeded,
RED_WORKFLOW_ERROR if a transaction error has occurred,
RED_ALLOC_FAILURE if an internal allocation has failed,
RED_FAIL otherwise.
-

See RED::IViewpoint::SetFloatingOrigin for all details on this method.
- Parameters
oMatx – The current floating origin value.
iStateNumber – Accessed transaction number.
- Returns
RED_OK if the method has succeeded,
RED_BAD_PARAM if the method has received an invalid parameter,
RED_FAIL otherwise.
