◆ _setCompositeMapRequired()

void Ogre::Terrain::_setCompositeMapRequired ( bool  compositeMap)

Request internal implementation options for the terrain material to use, in this case a terrain-wide composite map.

The TerrainMaterialGenerator should call this method to specify the options it would like to use when creating a material. Not all the data is guaranteed to be up to date on return from this method - for example some maps may be generated in the background. However, on return from this method all the features that are requested will be referenceable by materials, the data may just take a few frames to be fully populated.

Parameters
compositeMapWhether a terrain-wide composite map is needed. A composite map is a texture with all of the blending and lighting baked in, such that at distance this texture can be used as an approximation of the multi-layer blended material. It is actually up to the material generator to render this composite map, because obviously precisely what it looks like depends on what the main material looks like. For this reason, the composite map is one piece of derived terrain data that is always calculated in the render thread, and usually on the GPU. It is expected that if this option is requested, the material generator will use it to construct distant LOD techniques.

◆ _setLightMapRequired()

void Ogre::Terrain::_setLightMapRequired ( bool  lightMap,
bool  shadowsOnly = false 
)

Request internal implementation options for the terrain material to use, in this case a terrain-wide normal map.

Not all the data is guaranteed to be up to date on return from this method - for example some maps may be generated in the background. However, on return from this method all the features that are requested will be referenceable by materials, the data may just take a few frames to be fully populated.

Parameters
lightMapWhether a terrain-wide lightmap including precalculated lighting is required (light direction in TerrainGlobalOptions)
shadowsOnlyIf true, the lightmap contains only shadows, no directional lighting intensity

◆ _setMorphRequired()

cpuDataWhen updating vertex data, update the CPU copy (background)

◆ finaliseLightmap()

void Ogre::Terrain::finaliseLightmap ( const Rect rect,
PixelBox lightmapBox 
)

Finalise the lightmap.

Calculating lightmaps is kept in a separate calculation area to make it safe to perform in a background thread. This call promotes those calculations to the runtime values, and must be called in the main thread.

Parameters
rectRectangle describing the area to finalise
lightmapBoxPointer to a PixelBox full of normals

◆ finaliseNormals()

void Ogre::Terrain::finaliseNormals ( const Rect rect,
PixelBox normalsBox 
)

◆ frameEnded()

virtual bool Ogre::FrameListener::frameEnded ( const FrameEvent evt)
inlinevirtualinherited

Called just after a frame has been rendered.

Remarks
This event happens after all render targets have been fully updated and the buffers switched.
Returns
True to continue with the next frame, false to drop out of the rendering loop.

Reimplemented in Ogre::FrameTimeControllerValue.

◆ frameRenderingQueued()

virtual bool Ogre::FrameListener::frameRenderingQueued ( const FrameEvent evt)
inlinevirtualinherited

Called after all render targets have had their rendering commands issued, but before render windows have been asked to flip their buffers over.

Remarks
The usefulness of this event comes from the fact that rendering commands are queued for the GPU to process. These can take a little while to finish, and so while that is happening the CPU can be doing useful things. Once the request to 'flip buffers' happens, the thread requesting it will block until the GPU is ready, which can waste CPU cycles. Therefore, it is often a good idea to use this callback to perform per-frame processing. Of course because the frame's rendering commands have already been issued, any changes you make will only take effect from the next frame, but in most cases that's not noticeable.
Returns
True to continue rendering, false to drop out of the rendering loop.

◆ frameStarted()

virtual bool Ogre::Terrain::frameStarted ( const FrameEvent evt)
virtual

Called when a frame is about to begin rendering.

Remarks
This event happens before any render targets have begun updating.
Returns
True to go ahead, false to abort rendering and drop out of the rendering loop.

Reimplemented from Ogre::FrameListener.

◆ freeTemporaryResources()

Terrain neighbour,
bool  recalculate = false,
bool  notifyOther = true 
)

Parameters
indexThe index of the neighbour
neighbourThe terrain instance to become the neighbour, or null to reset.
recalculateIf true, this terrain instance will recalculate elements that could be affected by the connection of this tile (e.g. matching heights, calcaulting normals, calculating shadows crossing the boundary). If false, this terrain's state is assumed to be up to date already (e.g. was calculated with this tile present before and the state saved).
notifyOtherWhether the neighbour should also be notified (recommended to leave this at the default so relationships are up to date before background updates are triggered)

◆ setPosition()

void Ogre::Terrain::setPosition ( const Vector3 pos)

◆ shadowTextureCasterPreViewProj()

virtual void Ogre::SceneManager::Listener::shadowTextureCasterPreViewProj ( const Light light,
Camera camera,
size_t  iteration 
)
inlinevirtualinherited

This event occurs just before the view & projection matrices are set for rendering into a shadow texture.

Remarks
You can use this event hook to perform some custom processing, such as altering the camera being used for rendering the light's view, including setting custom view & projection matrices if you want to perform an advanced shadow technique.
Note
This event will only be fired when texture shadows are in use.
Parameters
lightPointer to the light for which shadows are being rendered
cameraPointer to the camera being used to render
iterationFor lights that use multiple shadow textures, the iteration number

◆ shadowTexturesUpdated()

virtual void Ogre::SceneManager::Listener::shadowTexturesUpdated ( size_t  numberOfShadowTextures)
inlinevirtualinherited

Event raised after all shadow textures have been rendered into for all queues / targets but before any other geometry has been rendered (including main scene geometry).

Remarks
This callback is useful for those that wish to perform some additional processing on shadow textures before they are used to render shadows. For example you could perform some filtering by rendering the existing shadow textures into another alternative shadow texture with a shader.]
Note
This event will only be fired when texture shadows are in use.
Parameters
numberOfShadowTexturesThe number of shadow textures in use

◆ sortLightsAffectingFrustum()

virtual bool Ogre::SceneManager::Listener::sortLightsAffectingFrustum ( LightList lightList)
inlinevirtualinherited

Hook to allow the listener to override the ordering of lights for the entire frustum.

Remarks
Whilst ordinarily lights are sorted per rendered object (
See also
MovableObject::queryLights), texture shadows adds another issue in that, given there is a finite number of shadow textures, we must choose which lights to render texture shadows from based on the entire frustum. These lights should always be listed first in every objects own list, followed by any other lights which will not cast texture shadows (either because they have shadow casting off, or there aren't enough shadow textures to service them).
This hook allows you to override the detailed ordering of the lights per frustum. The default ordering is shadow casters first (which you must also respect if you override this method), and ordered by distance from the camera within those 2 groups. Obviously the closest lights with shadow casting enabled will be listed first. Only lights within the range of the frustum will be in the list.
Parameters
lightListThe list of lights within range of the frustum which you may sort.
Returns
true if you sorted the list, false otherwise.

◆ unload()

void Ogre::Terrain::unload ( )

Unload the terrain and free GPU resources.

Remarks
This method must be called in the main render thread.

◆ unprepare()

void Ogre::Terrain::unprepare ( )

Free CPU resources created during prepare methods.

Remarks
This is safe to do in a background thread after calling unload().

◆ update()

void Ogre::Terrain::update ( bool  synchronous = false)

Trigger the update process for the terrain.

Remarks
Updating the terrain will process any dirty sections of the terrain. This may affect many things:
  1. The terrain geometry
  2. The terrain error metrics which determine LOD transitions
  3. The terrain normal map, if present
  4. The terrain lighting map, if present
  5. The terrain composite map, if present
If threading is enabled, only item 1 (the geometry) will be updated synchronously, ie will be fully up to date when this method returns. The other elements are more expensive to compute, and will be queued for processing in a background thread, in the order shown above. As these updates complete, the effects will be shown.

You can also separate the timing of updating the geometry, LOD and the lighting information if you want, by calling updateGeometry() and updateDerivedData() separately.

Parameters
synchronousIf true, all updates will happen immediately and not in a separate thread.

◆ updateCompositeMap()

void Ogre::Terrain::updateCompositeMap ( )

Performs an update on the terrain composite map based on its dirty region.

Remarks
Rather than calling this directly, call updateDerivedData, which will also call it after the other derived data has been updated (there is no point updating the composite map until lighting has been updated). However the blend maps may call this directly when only the blending information has been updated.

◆ updateCompositeMapWithDelay()

void Ogre::Terrain::updateCompositeMapWithDelay ( Real  delay = 2)

Performs an update on the terrain composite map based on its dirty region, but only at a maximum frequency.

Remarks
Rather than calling this directly, call updateDerivedData, which will also call it after the other derived data has been updated (there is no point updating the composite map until lighting has been updated). However the blend maps may call this directly when only the blending information has been updated.
Note
This method will log the request for an update, but won't do it just yet unless there are no further requests in the next 'delay' seconds. This means you can call it all the time but only pick up changes in quiet times.

◆ updateDerivedData()

void Ogre::Terrain::updateDerivedData ( bool  synchronous = false,
uint8  typeMask = 0xFF 
)

Updates derived data for the terrain (LOD, lighting) to reflect changed height data, in a separate thread if threading is enabled (OGRE_THREAD_SUPPORT).

If threading is enabled, on return from this method the derived data will not necessarily be updated immediately, the calculation may be done in the background. Only one update will run in the background at once. This derived data can typically survive being out of sync for a few frames which is why it is not done synchronously

Parameters
synchronousIf true, the update will happen immediately and not in a separate thread.
typeMaskMask indicating the types of data we should generate

◆ updateGeometry()

void Ogre::Terrain::updateGeometry ( )

Performs an update on the terrain geometry based on the dirty region.

Remarks
Terrain geometry will be updated when this method returns.

◆ updateGeometryWithoutNotifyNeighbours()

void Ogre::Terrain::updateGeometryWithoutNotifyNeighbours ( )

Performs an update on the terrain geometry based on the dirty region.

Remarks
Terrain geometry will be updated when this method returns, and no neighbours will be notified.
