Function documentation
U4DEngine::
Constructor for class.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| uU4DLights | light entity |
It sets the light entity it will manage
U4DDualQuaternion U4DEngine::
Returns the absolute space of the entity.
| Returns | Returns the entity absolure space-Orientation and Position |
|---|
void U4DEngine::
Initializes the library shaders.
It initializes the vertex and fragment shaders for the entity
void U4DEngine::
Initializes the Rendering Pipeline.
It prepares the rendering descriptor with the appropriate color attachment, depth attachment, shaders and attributes
bool U4DEngine::
Loads the attributes and Uniform data.
| Returns | True if loading is successful |
|---|
It prepares the attribute data so that it is aligned. It then loads the attributes into a buffer. It also loads uniform data into a buffer
void U4DEngine::
Updates the space matrix of the entity.
Updates the model space matrix of the entity by computing the world, view and perspective space matrix
void U4DEngine::
Renders the current entity.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| uRenderEncoder | Metal encoder object for the current entity |
Updates the space matrix, any rendering flags. It encodes the pipeline, buffers and issues the draw command
void U4DEngine::
Aligns the attribute data.
aligns the vertices before sending them to the GPU
void U4DEngine::
Clears the attribute container.
clears vertices containers
