| TimerEvent |
A TimerEvent represents a system timer and allows you to specify the interval and the delay time at which a timer elapses. Timers in Softimage are independent of the timeline clock and can be used to produce recurrent work accurately. For example, you can implement an autosave mechanism with a TimerEvent |
| Track |
A Track represents the container of clips used to sequence clips in the ClipContainer |
| Transition |
This object represents a transition between two clips. A transition is an interpolation used to smooth passing from the end of one clip to the beginning of another |
| Triangle |
Represents a triangle generated by a surface tesselation |
| TriangleVertex |
A TriangleVertex represents a Point of a Triangle object |
| UIObject |
The UIObject is the base class for Softimage UI objects such as UIPersistable and MenuItem. This class has no specific functions |
| UIPersistable |
The UIPersistable object is the base class for Softimage UI persistable objects such as the View and Layout objects |
| UIToolkit |
Provides access to Softimage user interface tools such as the ProgressBar object and the MsgBox function |
| UpdateContext |
This object represents the operator update context. It gives access to the operator and the evaluation time. The UpdateContext is only valid within the context of the Update() function for operators that are based on a Preset and SPDL. Self-Installed CustomOperators use the OperatorContext object instead |
| UserDataBlob |
The UserDataBlob is a Property that can be attached to many different parts of a scene, for example Cameras, Lights, other X3DObjects and Clusters. It allows a plug-in to read, write and persist binary user data as part of a scene |
| UserDataMap |
The UserDataMap is a Property that can be attached to any cluster. It permits the storage of variable-length binary user data on the individual components of a geometry. The data is stored as part of the scene file and can be accessed via plug-ins using the C++ API |
| Vertex |
The Vertex object gives access to the geometry vertices of an X3DObject's Primitive. A Vertex is the object PolygonMesh specifics of the Point object |
| View |
The View object represents an instance of a view in Softimage |
| ViewContext |
The ViewContext object serves 2 functions for Custom Displays: |
| X3DObject |
The X3DObject object represents a basic 3D object of a scene in Softimage |
| xsimrAttributeData |
A structure containing the information for a single attribute |
| xsimrAttributeImageTimeMap |
List of range to frame mapping values |
| xsimrLightData |
Stores information about whether the diffuse and specular are applied |
| xsimrParticleShape |
Particle shape structure |
| xsimrPointCloudData |
The main particle data header |
| xsimrPointCloudIndex |
Stores the PointCloud index |
| xsimrProfileCurveData |
A profile curve data sampled into linear segments |
| xsimrTimeMapValue |
A single range to frame mapping entry |
