Unigine::WorldCluster Class

Header:#include <UnigineWorlds.h>
Inherits:Node

WorldCluster bakes reference nodes into one world cluster and handles only visible nodes found within a specified distance from the camera. Further than this distance, nodes fade out and then disappear completely. There are two benefits of using WorldCluster:

  • Instances of nodes that are currently outside the view frustum are not stored in the memory, which provides much more efficient memory usage.
  • Less cluttered spatial tree, which allows, for example, faster collision detection.

WorldCluster Class

Members


static WorldClusterPtr create()

Constructor. Creates a new world cluster.

Ptr<WorldCluster> cast(const Ptr<Node> & node)

Casts a WorldCluster out of the Node instance.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Node> & node - Pointer to Node.

Return value

Pointer to WorldCluster.

void setFadeDistance(float distance)

Updates the distance up to which the nodes comprising the world cluster will be fading out (that is, fewer node references will be rendered instead of all). The distance is measured starting from the visible distance.
Notice
In order for a fade distance to be applied, visibility distance should not be infinite.

Arguments

  • float distance - Distance of fading for nodes in units. If a negative value is provided, 0 will be used instead.

float getFadeDistance()

Returns the current distance up to which the nodes comprising the world cluster are fading out (that is, fewer meshes will be rendered instead of all). The distance is measured starting from the visible distance.
Notice
In order for a fade distance to be applied, visibility distance should not be infinite.

Return value

Distance of fading for nodes in units.

const char * getNodeName(int num)

Returns the name of the given node reference by its number.

Arguments

  • int num - Node reference number.

Return value

Name of the node reference.

Ptr<NodeReference> getNodeReference(int num)

Returns the given node reference by its number.

Arguments

  • int num - Node reference number.

Return value

Node reference.

Math::mat4 getNodeTransform(int num)

Returns the transformation of the given node reference by its number.

Arguments

  • int num - Node reference number.

Return value

Transformation matrix for the node reference.

int getNumNodes()

Returns the total number of node references in the world cluster.

Return value

Number of nodes.

int getNumReferences()

Returns the total number of reference nodes contained in world clutter.

Return value

The number of reference nodes.

const char * getReferenceName(int num)

Returns the name of NodeReference contained in WorldCluster by its number.

Arguments

  • int num - NodeReference index number.

Return value

NodeReference name.

void setShadowRadius(float radius)

Updates the distance to draw additional meshes outside the view frustum. This option allows to eliminate popping of shadows at the edges of the screen when the camera is turning.

Arguments

  • float radius - Distance in units.

float getShadowRadius()

Returns the current distance to draw additional meshes outside the view frustum. This option allows to eliminate popping of shadows at the edges of the screen when the camera is turning.

Return value

Distance in units. If a negative value is provided, 0 will be used instead.

void setVisibleDistance(float distance)

Updates the distance up to which all the nodes comprising the world cluster will be rendered.

Arguments

  • float distance - Distance of visibility in units. If a negative value is provided, 0 will be used instead.

float getVisibleDistance()

Returns the current distance up to which all the nodes comprising the world cluster will be rendered.

Return value

Distance of visibility for nodes in units.

void clearNodes()

Remove all reference nodes from the world cluster.

void createNodes(const Vector< Ptr<Node> > & nodes)

Bakes the given reference nodes into one world cluster storing their coordinates.

Arguments

  • const Vector< Ptr<Node> > & nodes - ID of node references array.
