Unigine.RenderState Class
A low-level graphics state abstraction.
Usage Example
The following example illustrates the common usage of the saveState(), clearStates(), flushStates(), and restoreState() methods
Source code (C#)
/* ... */
// getting the current render state pointer
RenderState render_state = RenderState.get();
// saving the current render state
render_state.saveState();
// clearing the current render state to prevent our rendering code from being affected by the previous settings
render_state.clearStates();
/* ... */
// changing current render state
render_state.setBlendFunc(RenderState.BLEND_SRC_ALPHA, RenderState.BLEND_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA );
// flushing the current render state to GPU
render_state.flushStates();
/* rendering code begin
...
rendering code end */
// clearing the current render state (if necessary)
render_state.clearStates();
// changing current render state again
render_state.setPolygonFront(1);
// flushing the current render state to GPU
render_state.flushStates();
/* rendering code begin
...
rendering code end */
// restoring the previously saved render state
