Member Function Documentation

virtual void IlluminationManager::addSharedRuns (  SharedRuns *  runs  )  [inline, virtual]

Register a shared run object. Only called when new techniques are created. Parameters: runs  pointer to the SharedRuns instance to add

virtual void IlluminationManager::joinSharedRuns (   )  [inline, virtual]

Joins shared runs if needed. Searches the registered shared run roots and join them if necessary (they are close enough).

virtual void IlluminationManager::sharedRunJoin (  SharedRuns *  old1, SharedRuns *  old2, SharedRuns *  newsr )  [inline, virtual]

The function to be called when two shared runs are joined. Parameters: old1  pointer to one of the SharedRuns instance that are joined old2  pointer to the other SharedRuns instance that are joined newsr  pointer to the resulting parent SharedRuns instance

virtual void IlluminationManager::sharedRunSplit (  SharedRuns *  old, SharedRuns *  new1, SharedRuns *  new2 )  [inline, virtual]

The function to be called when a shared run is splitted. Parameters: old  pointer to the SharedRuns instance that is split new1  pointer to one of the SharedRuns instance that remain after split new2  pointer to the other SharedRuns instance that remain after split

virtual void IlluminationManager::update (  unsigned long  frameNumber  )  [pure virtual]

The function to be called to render one frame. This is the main refreshing function. It seasrches for visible objects, manages shared runs, updates render techniques and finally renders the scene to framebuffer. Parameters: frameNumber  current framenumber
