◆ dirtyRect()

void Ogre::Terrain::dirtyRect ( const Rect & rect )

Mark a region of the terrain as dirty.

By marking a section of the terrain as dirty, you are stating that you have changed the height data within this rectangle. This rectangle will be merged with any existing outstanding changes. To finalise the changes, you must call update(), updateGeometry(), or updateDerivedData().

Parameters

rect	A rectangle expressed in vertices describing the dirty region; left < right, top < bottom, left & top are inclusive, right & bottom exclusive

◆ _dirtyCompositeMapRect()

void Ogre::Terrain::_dirtyCompositeMapRect ( const Rect & rect )

Mark a region of the terrain composite map as dirty.

Remarks: You don't usually need to call this directly, it is inferred from changing the other data on the terrain.

◆ dirtyLightmapRect()

void Ogre::Terrain::dirtyLightmapRect ( const Rect & rect )

Mark a region of the lightmap as dirty.

Remarks: You only need to call this if you need to tell the terrain to update the lightmap data for some reason other than the terrain geometry has changed. Changing terrain geometry automatically dirties the correct lightmap areas.

Note: The lightmap won't actually be updated until update() or updateDerivedData() is called.

◆ dirtyLightmap()

void Ogre::Terrain::dirtyLightmap ( )

Mark a the entire lightmap as dirty.

Remarks: You only need to call this if you need to tell the terrain to update the lightmap data for some reason other than the terrain geometry has changed. Changing terrain geometry automatically dirties the correct lightmap areas.

Note: The lightmap won't actually be updated until update() or updateDerivedData() is called.

◆ 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:

The terrain geometry
The terrain error metrics which determine LOD transitions
The terrain normal map, if present
The terrain lighting map, if present
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

synchronous If true, all updates will happen immediately and not in a separate thread.

◆ 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.

◆ 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

synchronous	If true, the update will happen immediately and not in a separate thread.
typeMask	Mask indicating the types of data we should generate

◆ 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.

◆ getSkirtSize()

Real Ogre::Terrain::getSkirtSize ( ) const

inline

The default size of 'skirts' used to hide terrain cracks (default 10, set for new Terrain using TerrainGlobalOptions)

◆ getNumLodLevels()

inline

Request internal implementation options for the terrain material to use, in this case vertex morphing information.

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 som 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

morph Whether LOD morphing information is required to be calculated

◆ _getMorphRequired()

bool Ogre::Terrain::_getMorphRequired ( ) const

inline

Get whether LOD morphing is needed.

◆ _setNormalMapRequired()

void Ogre::Terrain::_setNormalMapRequired ( bool normalMap )

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

normalMap Whether a terrain-wide normal map is requested. This is usually mutually exclusive with the lightmap option.

◆ _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.

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

lightMap	Whether a terrain-wide lightmap including precalculated lighting is required (light direction in TerrainGlobalOptions)
shadowsOnly	If true, the lightmap contains only shadows, no directional lighting intensity

◆ _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

compositeMap Whether 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.

◆ 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 and any additional shadow receiver passes).

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

numberOfShadowTextures The number of shadow textures in use

◆ shadowTextureCasterPreViewProj()

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

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

light	Pointer to the light for which shadows are being rendered
camera	Pointer to the camera being used to render
iteration	For lights that use multiple shadow textures, the iteration number

◆ shadowTextureReceiverPreViewProj()

virtual void Ogre::SceneManager::Listener::shadowTextureReceiverPreViewProj	(	Light *	light,
		Frustum *	frustum
	)

inlinevirtualinherited

This event occurs just before the view & projection matrices are set for re-rendering a shadow receiver.

Remarks: You can use this event hook to perform some custom processing, such as altering the projection frustum being used for rendering the shadow onto the receiver to perform an advanced shadow technique.

Note: This event will only be fired when texture shadows are in use.

Parameters

light	Pointer to the light for which shadows are being rendered
frustum	Pointer to the projection frustum being used to project the shadow texture

◆ 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

lightList The list of lights within range of the frustum which you may sort.

Returns: true if you sorted the list, false otherwise.
