Polygons are rendered via:
|
||
|
|
A. The Mesh packet renderer
|
||
|
|
B. Render object's render method
|
||
|
|
C. Alpha sorting pipeline
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NB. Shaders and Vertex Mateirals have presets that you can use to set state
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Guidelines for B type polygons:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Always set the World matrix
|
||
|
|
2. Always use a Shader (Shader.Apply())
|
||
|
|
3. Always use a VertexMaterial (VertexMaterial.Apply())
|
||
|
|
4. If there is a Texture, use Texture.Apply()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For any other render state, save the initial state, set your state, render then
|
||
|
|
restore the original state.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
e.g. save the VIEW matrix if you're nuking it, then restore it after you're done.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Guidelines for C type polygons:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. All vertices submitted must be in View Coordinates
|
||
|
|
2. All states submitted must be entirely contained in Shader,VertexMaterial & Texture
