Unigine::Viewport Class

Header: #include <UnigineViewport.h>

A Viewport class is used to render a scene with the specified settings.

The main use cases of the Viewport class are as follows:

  1. Integrate the engine to a 3rd party renderer (or vice versa) and render the image anywhere (via the render() method): to the external library, App interface, RenderTarget interface (a frame buffers abstraction), etc.

    • To render the image to the RenderTarget interface, do the following:

      Source code (C++)
      // mono rendering
      // initialization
      ViewportPtr viewport = Viewport::create();
      
      RenderTargetPtr rendertarget = RenderTarget::create();
      TexturePtr texture = Texture::create();
      texture->create2D(512,512,Texture::FORMAT_RGBA8,Texture::USAGE_RENDER); // create 512 x 512 render target
      
      CameraPtr camera = Camera::create();
      // set modelview & projection matrices to camera instance
      
      // rendering
      rendertarget->bindColorTexture(0,texture);
      rendertarget->enable();
      	viewport->render(camera);
      rendertarget->disable();
      rendertarget->unbindAll();

      To render the image to the RenderTarget interface in the stereo mode, do the following:

      Source code (C++)
      // stereo rendering
      // initialization
      ViewportPtr viewport = Viewport::create();
      
      RenderTargetPtr rendertarget = RenderTarget::create();
      TexturePtr left_texture = Texture::create();
      TexturePtr right_texture = Texture::create();
      
      // create two 512 x 512 render target for each eye
      left_texture->create2D(512,512,Texture::FORMAT_RGBA8,Texture::USAGE_RENDER);
      right_texture->create2D(512,512,Texture::FORMAT_RGBA8,Texture::USAGE_RENDER);
      
      CameraPtr left_eye = Camera::create();
      CameraPtr right_eye = Camera::create();
      // set modelview & projection matrices for each eyes
      
      // rendering
      rendertarget->bindColorTexture(0,left_texture);
      rendertarget->bindColorTexture(1,right_texture);
      rendertarget->enable();
      	viewport->renderStereo(left_eye,right_eye,"post_stereo_separate"); // use "post_stereo_separate" material in order to render to both textures
      rendertarget->disable();
      rendertarget->unbindAll();
    • To render the image to the App interface, check the following 3rdparty samples (e.g. source -> samples -> 3rdparty -> ViewportQt)
      Notice
      Qml and ViewportQt samples are available only for the Engineering and Sim editions of UNIGINE SDKs.
  2. Render a scene to the image (data will be transferred from GPU memory to CPU memory) or texture (data stays in the GPU memory).
  3. Render a node to the image (data will be transferred from GPU memory to CPU memory) or texture (data stays in the GPU memory).

You can set callbacks before and after any rendering pass using the addCallback() method: thus, getting access to the intermediate state of rendering buffers and matrices. Some of them are read-only, but most of them can be modified ad hoc. The callback can get a Renderer pointer.

Thanks to this feature you can get direct access to G-Buffer, SSAO, lights or any other effect. One more example: you can create a custom post-process and apply it before TAA, thus, getting correct antialiased image as a result. You can even create your own custom light sources, decals, etc. The feature can also be useful for custom sensors view.

Viewport class has different rendering modes: RENDER_DEPTH (depth only), RENDER_DEPTH_GBUFFER (depth + G-buffer), RENDER_DEPTH_GBUFFER_FINAL (depth + G-buffer + final image). This can give you extra performance boost if you need only depth info, for example.

Notice

To set any viewport as a main, use the setViewport() method of the Render class.

A single viewport should be used with a single camera, otherwise it may cause visual artefacts. To avoid artefacts, when using several cameras with a single viewport, all post effects must be disabled using the setSkipFlags() method with the SKIP_POSTEFFECTS flag. See the usage example below.
