Provides access to MShaderInstance objects for use in Viewport 2.0.
This class generates MShaderInstance objects for use with user-created MRenderItem objects. Any MShaderInstance objects created by this class are owned by the caller.
The methods for adding shader and shader include paths will allow for additional search paths to be used with the "getEffectsFileShader()" method which searches for shader files on disk. The default search path is in the "Cg" and "HLSL" folders found in the runtime directory. It is recommended that user defined shaders not reside at this location to avoid any potential shader conflicts.
When acquiring a shader instance the caller may also specify pre-draw and post-draw callback functions. These functions will be invoked any time a render item that uses the shader instance is about to be drawn. These callbacks are passed an MDrawContext object as well as the render item being drawn and may alter the draw state in order to get different rendering effects. Accessing Maya nodes from within these callbacks is an error and may result in instability.

Get a new instance of a shader generated from an effects file stored on disk.
If a file extension is not supplied as part of the file name argument then the following strings are appended to the file name based on the drawing API which is currently being used by the renderer:
Callers of this method assume lifetime management of the returned object.
Optionally, a pre-draw and post-draw callback function may be associated with the shader. The callbacks will be invoked any time a render item using the shader is drawn.
[in] | effectsFileName | The effects file |
[in] | techniqueName | The name of a technique in the effects file. If an empty string is specified then the first technique in the effects file will be used. |
[in] | macros | Pointer to an array of shader macros structures. The default value is 0, meaning that no macros are specified. |
[in] | numberOfMacros | Number of macros. The default value is 0. |
[in] | useEffectCache | Use the internal effect cache to prevent reloading the effect file every time it is requested. Unless you are changing the effect, this should always be set to true for maximum performance. |
[in] | preCb | A pointer to the function to be called before render items are drawn with this shader. |
[in] | postCb | A pointer to the function to be called after render items are drawn with this shader. |
MShaderInstance * getStockShader | ( | MStockShader | name, |
MShaderInstance::DrawCallback | preCb = 0 , |

MShaderInstance::DrawCallback | postCb = 0 |

) | const |
Get a new instance of a stock shader.
Callers of this method assume lifetime management of the returned object.
Optionally, a pre-draw and post-draw callback function may be associated with the shader. The callbacks will be invoked any time a render item using the shader is drawn.
[in] | name | Name of stock shader |
[in] | preCb | A pointer to the function to be called before render items are drawn with this shader. |
[in] | postCb | A pointer to the function to be called after render items are drawn with this shader. |
bool isSupportedShaderSemantic | ( | const MString & | value | ) | [static] |
Return if a given string is a supported shader semantic.
To be supported means that, for a shader parameter which has this semantic, the renderer will automatically set the parameter's value before the shader is used for rendering.
The plugin writer should not be explicitly setting the values for parameters with supported shader semantics.
For example a matrix parameter with the "projection" semantic will have its value updated with the current camera projection matrix before the shader is used.
