◆ 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
rectA 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:
  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.

◆ 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
synchronousIf true, the update will happen immediately and not in a separate thread.
typeMaskMask 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.

Note
You can only do this after the terrain has been loaded. You may edit the content of the blend layer in another thread, but you may only upload it in the main render thread.
Parameters
layerIndexThe layer index, which should be 1 or higher (since the bottom layer has no blending).
Returns

Remarks

◆ getLayerBlendTexture()

◆ _setLightMapRequired()

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

Request a terrain-wide light map.

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

◆ _setCompositeMapRequired()

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

Request a terrain-wide composite map.

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.

Parameters
compositeMapWhether a terrain-wide composite map is needed.

◆ getNeighbour()

Terrain* Ogre::Terrain::getNeighbour ( NeighbourIndex  index) const

Parameters
indexThe index of the neighbour

◆ setNeighbour()

void Ogre::Terrain::setNeighbour ( NeighbourIndex  index,
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)

◆ getOppositeNeighbour()

static NeighbourIndex Ogre::Terrain::getOppositeNeighbour ( NeighbourIndex  index)
static

Get the opposite neighbour relationship (useful for finding the neighbour index from the perspective of the tile the other side of the boundary).

◆ notifyNeighbours()

void Ogre::Terrain::notifyNeighbours ( )

const Rect edgerect,
const Rect shadowrect 
)

Notify that a neighbour has just finished updating and that this change affects this tile.
