Unigine.Renderer Class
A basic interface for setting a renderer state (changing rendering passes parameters): pass shader uniforms, set modelview and projection matrices, etc. This class is used for rendering custom nodes (for example, a node inherited from ObjectExtern).
The Renderer class provides the following structures representing constant buffers:
