Detailed Description

instancing buffer is a convenience wrapper arround a vertex buffer to help with instancing

Member Function Documentation

addInstance()

void igor::iInstancingBuffer::addInstance	(	uint32	size,
		const void *	data
	)

adds instance data. This can be the data of just one instance or many.

Will reallocate memory if amount of instances exceeds size hint.

Parameters

size	the size of the data in bytes. Must be multiple of the layout size (or stride)
data	the data to add

bind()

void igor::iInstancingBuffer::bind

(

)

bind instacing buffer

clear()

void igor::iInstancingBuffer::clear

(

)

clear the instancing data

create()

iInstancingBufferPtr igor::iInstancingBuffer::create ( const iBufferLayout &  layout, uint32  maxInstanceSizeHint = 100  )

static

Returns

a newly created vertex buffer

Parameters

layout	the layout of data used for instancing
maxInstanceSizeHint	a hint for the maximum amout of instances

Adding more instances then specified with maxInstanceSizeHint will lead to reallocating memory and doubling the buffer size.

finalizeData()

void igor::iInstancingBuffer::finalizeData

(

)

sets data on vertex buffer

getInstanceCount()

uint32 igor::iInstancingBuffer::getInstanceCount

(

)

const

Returns

instance count

getVertexBuffer()

iVertexBufferPtr igor::iInstancingBuffer::getVertexBuffer

(

)

const

Returns

vertex buffer

setSizeHint()

void igor::iInstancingBuffer::setSizeHint

(

uint32

maxInstanceSizeHint

)

sets a new size hint.

If new size hint is smaller then the previous one nothing will change.

Parameters

maxInstanceSizeHint

a hint for the maximum amout of instances
