Detailed Description

Abstract class defining the density function.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~Source()

virtual Ogre::Volume::Source::~Source ( void  )

virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

getFirstRayIntersection()

bool Ogre::Volume::Source::getFirstRayIntersection	(	const Ray &	ray,
		Vector3 &	result,
		Real	scale = (Real) 1.0,
		size_t	maxIterations = 5000,
		Real	maxDistance = (Real) 10000.0
	)		const

Gets the first intersection of a ray with the volume.

If you are using this together with the VolumeChunk: Beware of the possible scaling or other transformations you did on the Chunk! Do the inverse first on the ray origin. Example of a scaling with the factor 10: ray.setOrigin(ray.getOrigin() / (Real)10.0);

Parameters

ray	The ray.
result	Will hold the intersection point if there is an intersection.
scale	The scaling of the volume compared to the world.
maxIterations	The maximum amount of iterations on the ray before giving up.
maxDistance	The maximum distance of the intersection point.

getValue()

virtual Real Ogre::Volume::Source::getValue ( const Vector3 &  position ) const

pure virtual

Gets the density value at a specific position.

Parameters

position

The position.

Returns

The density.

Implemented in Ogre::Volume::CSGNoiseSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGScaleSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGNegateSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGDifferenceSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGUnionSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGIntersectionSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGCubeSource, Ogre::Volume::GridSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGPlaneSource, Ogre::Volume::CacheSource, and Ogre::Volume::CSGSphereSource.

getValueAndGradient()

virtual Vector4 Ogre::Volume::Source::getValueAndGradient ( const Vector3 &  position ) const

pure virtual

Gets the density value and gradient at a specific position.

Parameters

position

The position.

Returns

A vector with x, y, z containing the gradient and w containing the density.

Implemented in Ogre::Volume::CSGNoiseSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGScaleSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGNegateSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGDifferenceSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGUnionSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGIntersectionSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGCubeSource, Ogre::Volume::GridSource, Ogre::Volume::CSGPlaneSource, Ogre::Volume::CacheSource, and Ogre::Volume::CSGSphereSource.

getVolumeSpaceToWorldSpaceFactor()

Real Ogre::Volume::Source::getVolumeSpaceToWorldSpaceFactor

(

void

)

const

Gets a factor to come from volume coordinate to world coordinate.

Returns

The factor, 1.0 in the default implementation.

serialize() [1/2]

void Ogre::Volume::Source::serialize	(	const Vector3 &	from,
		const Vector3 &	to,
		float	voxelWidth,
		const String &	file
	)

Serializes a volume source to a discrete grid file with deflated compression.

To achieve better compression, all density values are clamped within a maximum absolute value of (to - from).length() / 16.0. The values are scanned in this inner-loop-order: z, x, y. y last because there is usually the least isosurface intersection to be expected in the use case of terrain and so more often the maximum density value hit. The values are written as 16 Bit floats to save space. Note that this process is not lossless, the tradeoff is between accuracy of the source-reproduction (smaller voxelWidth) and smaller filesize (bigger voxelWidth).

Parameters

from	The start point to scan the volume.
to	The end point to scan the volume.
voxelWidth	The width of a single cube in the density grid.
file	The file to write the grid to.

serialize() [2/2]

void Ogre::Volume::Source::serialize	(	const Vector3 &	from,
		const Vector3 &	to,
		float	voxelWidth,
		Real	maxClampedAbsoluteDensity,
		const String &	file
	)

Same as the other serialize function but with a user definable maximum absolute density value.

Parameters

from	The start point to scan the volume.
to	The end point to scan the volume.
voxelWidth	The width of a single cube in the density grid.
maxClampedAbsoluteDensity	The maximum absolute density value to be written into the file, influencing the compression rate.
file	The file to write the grid to.
