Remarks: You can use this facility to manually control whether a technique is considered supported, based on a GPU device name pattern.

If at least one inclusive rule is added, a technique is considered unsupported if it does not match any of those inclusive rules. If exclusive rules are added, the technique is considered unsupported if it matches any of those inclusive rules.

◆ checkHardwareSupport()

bool Ogre::Technique::checkHardwareSupport	(	bool	autoManageTextureUnits,
		StringStream &	compileErrors
	)

Internal method for checking hardware support.

◆ createPass()

Pass* Ogre::Technique::createPass ( )

Creates a new Pass for this Technique.

Remarks: A Pass is a single rendering pass, i.e. a single draw of the given material. Note that if you create a pass without a fragment program, during compilation of the material the pass may be split into multiple passes if the graphics card cannot handle the number of texture units requested. For passes with fragment programs, however, the number of passes you create will never be altered, so you have to make sure that you create an alternative fallback Technique for if a card does not have enough facilities for what you're asking for.

Remarks: This will only be correct after the Technique has been compiled, which is usually done from Material::compile.

◆ isTransparent()

bool Ogre::Technique::isTransparent ( ) const

Returns true if this Technique involves transparency.

Remarks: This basically boils down to whether the first pass has a scene blending factor. Even if the other passes do not, the base colour, including parts of the original scene, may be used for blending, therefore we have to treat the whole Technique as transparent.

◆ setLodIndex()

void Ogre::Technique::setLodIndex ( unsigned short index )

Assigns a level-of-detail (LOD) index to this Technique.

Remarks: As noted previously, as well as providing fallback support for various graphics cards, multiple Technique objects can also be used to implement material LOD, where the detail of the material diminishes with distance to save rendering power.

: By default, all Techniques have a LOD index of 0, which means they are the highest level of detail. Increasing LOD indexes are lower levels of detail. You can assign more than one Technique to the same LOD index, meaning that the best Technique that is supported at that LOD index is used.

: You should not leave gaps in the LOD sequence; Ogre will allow you to do this and will continue to function as if the LODs were sequential, but it will confuse matters.

Note: This property actually exists on the TextureUnitState class For simplicity, this method allows you to set these properties for every current TeextureUnitState, If you need more precision, retrieve the
Pass and TextureUnitState instances and set the property there.

See also: TextureUnitState::setSamplerblock

◆ setSchemeName()

void Ogre::Technique::setSchemeName ( const String & schemeName )

Set the 'scheme name' for this technique.

Remarks: Material schemes are used to control top-level switching from one set of techniques to another. For example, you might use this to define 'high', 'medium' and 'low' complexity levels on materials to allow a user to pick a performance / quality ratio. Another possibility is that you have a fully HDR-enabled pipeline for top machines, rendering all objects using unclamped shaders, and a simpler pipeline for others; this can be implemented using schemes.

: Every technique belongs to a scheme - if you don't specify one, the Technique belongs to the scheme called 'Default', which is also the scheme used to render by default. The active scheme is set one of two ways - either by calling Viewport::setMaterialScheme, or by manually calling MaterialManager::setActiveScheme.
