class Sky in Tinman.AddOns.Components

Shader wrapper for Tinman.Sky.

sealed class	Sky	extends	Disposable
		implements	IRenderable

Public / Attributes

EnvironmentMap

public property	EnvironmentMap { get set }
type	ITextureCube
value

Horizon

public property	Horizon { get set }
type	float32
value

LifecycleState

Returns the lifecycle state of this object.

public virtual property	LifecycleState { get }
type	LifecycleState
value		The lifecycle state.
inherited	Disposable.LifecycleState

LightSpace

public property	LightSpace { get set }
type	Mat3F
value

UniformColor

Uniform sky color to use if no environment map has been set.

Defaults to the spectacular color of LightSkyBlue.

Public / Constructors

Sky

Creates a new instance of Sky.

public constructor	Sky (IGraphicsContext context)
params	context	[not-null]	The graphics context to use.

Public / Methods

AcquireTry

Acquires a strong reference to this disposable object.

[OwnerReturn, ThreadSafe]
public method	AcquireTry ()
type	IDisposable
returns			this if a new strong reference has been acquired, null if this object is already being disposed.
inherited	Disposable.AcquireTry

Remarks:

The object will not be actually disposed by calls to Dispose when there is at least one strong reference left. Code that calls the AcquireTry method is responsible for calling the Dispose method accordingly.

This method is not intended to be used in performance-critical code. It should only be used to high-level resource management.

Dispose

Releases all resources held by this object if there are no more strong references to it, decrements the reference counter by one otherwise.

[Dispose, OwnerThis, ThreadSafe]
public method	Dispose ()
inherited	Disposable.Dispose

Remarks:

The Dispose method silently returns if the object has already been disposed.

Render

Performs rendering.

public method	Render ()
implements	IRenderable.Render

Remarks:

Implementing methods must not assume that any specific render state is in place when being called. Instead, the implementing method is responsible for setting up all state that is required for rendering.

Usually, implementing classes receive their current graphics context directly or indirectly from GraphicsContextAttach or GraphicsAttach.

In order to maximize parallelism between the CPU and GPU, only actual rendering (using the current graphics context) should be performed here. All other preparation resp. setup should be done in RenderPrepare instead.

IApplication.GraphicsContextAttach
IGraphicsComponent.GraphicsAttach

RenderPrepare

Prepares rendering.

public method	RenderPrepare ()
implements	IRenderPreparable.RenderPrepare

Remarks:

This method is called before Render, when the graphics context has not yet begun to render the scene.

All setup work that does not require a graphics context (e.g. matrix computation, per-frame visibility determination) should be done here. This can help to maximize parallelism between the CPU and the GPU.
