InstancedMeshGeometry3DNode Methods

The InstancedMeshGeometry3DNode type exposes the following members.

Methods
 NameDescription
Public methodCollectRenderableObjects The task of the CollectRenderableObjects method is to create objects derived from RenderablePrimitiveBase and add them to the appropriate RenderingQueue. This method is called at the beginning of RenderScene method call but only when the scene was significantly changed (number of SceneNodes is changed, material is significantly changed, etc.)
(Overrides ObjectNodeCollectRenderableObjects)
Public methodGetClosestHitResult GetClosestHitResult method returns a DXRayHitTestResult with the closest triangle hit by the specified ray. When no triangle is hit, null is returned.
Public methodGetDetailsText Returns string that tells details about this SceneNode
(Overrides BaseWpfObjectNodeGetDetailsText(Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean))
Public methodGetInstanceBuffer Returns a SharpDX.Direct3D11.Buffer that is used by this InstancedMeshGeometry3DNode.
Public methodGetInstanceData Returns an array of InstanceData that represents instances data used by this InstancedMeshGeometry3DNode.
Public methodGetMesh Returns the mesh that is used by this SceneNode.
Public methodGetNextHitResult GetNextHitResult method continues hit testing from the previously returned hit test and returns a DXRayHitTestResult with the next hit triangle (not necessary the next closest triangle) or null if no other triangle is hit. This method can be used to get all hit results.
Public methodSetInstanceBuffer SetInstanceBuffer sets the specified instanceBuffer to be used to render the instances in this InstancedMeshGeometry3DNode.
Public methodSetInstanceData Updates the InstanceData and InstancesCount. This method must be called after the instance data is changed. If data size is changed the method also sets the StartInstanceIndex to 0.
Public methodUpdate Update method is called on each update phase (before render phase)
(Overrides SceneNodeUpdate)
Public methodUpdateBounds Updates the bounds of this SceneNode if the dirty flags indicates that the bounds could be changed of if the forceUpdate parameter is set to true
(Overrides SceneNodeUpdateBounds(Boolean))
Public methodUpdateInstanceBuffer UpdateInstanceBuffer updates the used DirectX instance buffer and fills it with instances data set in the SetInstanceData(InstanceData, Boolean) method.
Public methodUpdateMaterial UpdateMaterial updates the DXEngine's material properties.
Public methodUseInstanceObjectColor UseInstanceObjectColor method can be called after calling the UseSingleObjectColor(Color4). This method resets using diffuse color from instances data.
Public methodUseSingleObjectColor When UseSingleObjectColor is called, the specified objectColor is used as diffuse color for all instances. This overrides the color defined in the instances data. When color's alpha value is less than 1, then alpha blending is used. To use instance color after calling UseSingleObjectColor, call the UseInstanceObjectColor method.

Extension Methods
 NameDescription
Public Extension MethodGetGeometryModel3D Returns a WPF's GeometryModel3D that was used to create the specified sceneNode. If the sceneNode does not define a GeometryModel3D object, then null is returned.
(Defined by Extensions)
Public Extension MethodGetModel3D Returns a WPF's Model3D that was used to create the specified sceneNode. If the sceneNode does not define a Model3D object, then null is returned.
(Defined by Extensions)
Public Extension MethodGetModelVisual3D Returns a WPF's ModelVisual3D that was used to create the specified sceneNode or any parent SceneNode (in case searchParentSceneNodes is true). If a SceneNode that defines a ModelVisual3D is not found, then null is returned.
(Defined by Extensions)
Public Extension MethodGetVisual3D Returns a WPF's Visual3D that was used to create the specified sceneNode or any parent SceneNode (in case searchParentSceneNodes is true). If a SceneNode that defines a Visual3D is not found, then null is returned.
