Member Function Documentation

virtual void nvidia::apex::IofxAsset::addDependentActor

(

ApexActor *

actor

)

[pure virtual]

the IOFX asset needs to inform other actors when it is released

Note:

only for internal use

virtual const Modifier* nvidia::apex::IofxAsset::getContinuousModifiers

(

uint32_t &

outCount

)

const [pure virtual]

get the list of continuous modifiers

virtual uint32_t nvidia::apex::IofxAsset::getMeshAssetCount

(

)

const [pure virtual]

get the number of different mesh assets used for mesh-based particles visualization

virtual const char* nvidia::apex::IofxAsset::getMeshAssetName

(

uint32_t

index = 0

)

const [pure virtual]

get the name of one of the mesh assets used for mesh-based particles visualization

Parameters:

index

mesh asset internal index

virtual uint32_t nvidia::apex::IofxAsset::getMeshAssetWeight

(

uint32_t

index = 0

)

const [pure virtual]

get the weight of one of the mesh assets used for mesh-based particles visualization. Can be any value; not normalized.

Parameters:

index

mesh asset internal index

virtual float nvidia::apex::IofxAsset::getScaleUpperBound

(

float

maxVelocity

)

const [pure virtual]

get the biggest possible scale given the current spawn- and continuous modifiers note that some modifiers depend on velocity, so the scale can get arbitrarily large.

Parameters:

maxVelocity

this value defines what the highest expected velocity is to compute the upper bound

virtual const Modifier* nvidia::apex::IofxAsset::getSpawnModifiers

(

uint32_t &

outCount

)

const [pure virtual]

get the list of spawn modifiers

virtual const char* nvidia::apex::IofxAsset::getSpriteMaterialName

(

)

const [pure virtual]

get the name of the material used for sprite-based particles visualization
