fireMaterialRequested()

MaterialInstance* sh::Platform::fireMaterialRequested ( const std::string &  name, const std::string &  configuration, unsigned short  lodIndex  )

protected

fire event: material requested for rendering

Parameters

name	material name
configuration	requested configuration

supportsMaterialQueuedListener()

virtual bool sh::Platform::supportsMaterialQueuedListener ( )

protectedvirtual

this will be true if the platform supports a listener that notifies the system whenever a material is requested for rendering. if this is supported, shaders can be compiled on-demand when needed (and not earlier)

Todo:

the Factory is not designed yet to handle the case where this method returns false

Reimplemented in sh::OgrePlatform.

supportsShaderSerialization()

virtual bool sh::Platform::supportsShaderSerialization ( )

protectedvirtual

this will be true if the platform supports serialization (writing shader microcode to disk) and deserialization (create gpu program from saved microcode)

Reimplemented in sh::OgrePlatform.
