Member Function Documentation

virtual void iImposter::CreateImposter

(

csReversibleTransform &

pov

)

[pure virtual]

Tells the object to create its proctex and polygon for use by main render process later.

virtual void iImposter::SetImposterActive

(

bool

flag

)

[pure virtual]

Self explanatory.

virtual void iImposter::SetMinDistance

(

iSharedVariable *

dist

)

[pure virtual]

Minimum Imposter Distance is the distance from camera beyond which imposter is used.

Imposter gets a ptr here because value is a shared variable which can be changed at runtime for many objects.

virtual void iImposter::SetRotationTolerance

(

iSharedVariable *

angle

)

[pure virtual]

Rotation Tolerance is the maximum allowable angle difference between when the imposter was created and the current position of the camera.

Angle greater than this triggers a re-render of the imposter.

virtual bool iImposter::WouldUseImposter

(

csReversibleTransform &

pov

)

const [pure virtual]

Determine if imposter or true rendering will be used.

private: virtual void Draw(iRenderView* rview) = 0;
