C# Class Axiom.Graphics.Technique

Class representing an approach to rendering a particular Material.

The engine will attempt to use the best technique supported by the active hardware, unless you specifically request a lower detail technique (say for distant rendering)

Public Methods

Method	Description
ApplyTextureAliases ( string>.Dictionary aliasList, bool apply ) : bool
Clone ( Material parent ) : Technique	Clones this Technique.
CompileIlluminationPasses ( ) : void	Internal method for splitting the passes into illumination passes.
CopyTo ( Technique target ) : void	Copy the details of this Technique to another.
CreatePass ( ) : Pass	Creates a new Pass for this technique. A Pass is a single rendering pass, ie a single draw of the given material. Note that if you create a non-programmable pass, during compilation of the material the pass may be split into multiple passes if the graphics card cannot handle the number of texture units requested. For programmable passes, however, the number of passes you create will never be altered, so you have to make sure that you create an alternative fallback Technique for if a card does not have enough facilities for what you're asking for.
GetIlluminationPass ( int index ) : IlluminationPass	Retreives the IlluminationPass at the specified index.
GetPass ( int index ) : Pass	Retreives the Pass at the specified index.
GetPass ( string passName ) : Pass	Retreives the Pass by name.
Load ( ) : void	Loads resources required by this Technique.
Preload ( ) : void	Preloads resources required by this Technique. This is the portion that is safe to do from a thread other than the main render thread.
RemoveAllPasses ( ) : void	Removes all passes from this technique and queues them for deletion.
RemovePass ( Pass pass ) : void	Removes the specified Pass from this Technique.
SetFog ( bool overrideScene ) : void
SetFog ( bool overrideScene, FogMode mode, ColorEx color, Real expDensity, Real linearStart, Real linearEnd ) : void	Sets the fogging mode applied to each pass. This property actually exists on the Pass class. For simplicity, this method allows you to set these properties for every current Pass within this Technique. If you need more precision, retrieve the Pass instance and set the property there.
SetSceneBlending ( SceneBlendFactor src, SceneBlendFactor dest ) : void
SetSceneBlending ( SceneBlendType blendType ) : void
SetShadowCasterMaterial ( string name ) : void
SetShadowReceiverMaterial ( string name ) : void
Technique ( Material parent ) : System
Unload ( ) : void	Unloads resources used by this Technique.

ClearIlluminationPasses ( ) : void	Internal method for clearing the illumination pass list.

Private Methods

Method	Description
AddGPUDeviceNameRule ( GPUDeviceNameRule rule ) : void	Add a rule which manually influences the support for this technique based on a pattern that matches a GPU device name (e.g. '8800'). You can use this facility to manually control whether a technique is considered supported, based on a GPU device name pattern. You can add inclusive or exclusive rules, and you can add as many of each as you like. If at least one inclusive rule is added, a technique is considered unsupported if it does not match any of those inclusive rules. If exclusive rules are added, the technique is considered unsupported if it matches any of those inclusive rules. The pattern you supply can include wildcard characters ('*') if you only want to match part of the device name. Note that any rule for the same device pattern will be removed before adding this one.
AddGPUVenderRule ( GPUVendorRule rule ) : void	Add a rule which manually influences the support for this technique based on a GPU vendor. You can use this facility to manually control whether a technique is considered supported, based on a GPU vendor. You can add inclusive or exclusive rules, and you can add as many of each as you like. If at least one inclusive rule is added, a technique is considered unsupported if it does not match any of those inclusive rules. If exclusive rules are added, the technique is considered unsupported if it matches any of those inclusive rules. Note that any rule for the same vendor will be removed before adding this one. ///
Compile ( bool autoManageTextureUnits ) : String	Compilation method for Techniques. See Axiom.Graphics.Material
NotifyNeedsRecompile ( ) : void	Forces this Technique to recompile. The parent Material is asked to recompile to accomplish this.
RemoveGPUDeviceNameRule ( GPUDeviceNameRule rule ) : void	Removes a matching device name rule.
RemoveGPUVendorRule ( GPUVendorRule rule ) : void	Removes a matching vendor rule.

A Pass is a single rendering pass, ie a single draw of the given material. Note that if you create a non-programmable pass, during compilation of the material the pass may be split into multiple passes if the graphics card cannot handle the number of texture units requested. For programmable passes, however, the number of passes you create will never be altered, so you have to make sure that you create an alternative fallback Technique for if a card does not have enough facilities for what you're asking for.

public CreatePass ( ) : Pass
return	Pass

Retreives the IlluminationPass at the specified index.

public GetIlluminationPass ( int index ) : IlluminationPass
index	int	Index of the IlluminationPass to retreive.
