Detailed Description

Base class of an asset.

The base class of the asset classes. The asset is an important concept in the framework. All user-defined resources such as triangle meshes or BSDFs must inherits this class. The construction of assets are fully automated with asset management class (Assets class), which make it possible to extend your own assets consistently.

Asset::LM_INTERFACE_F	(	0	,
		Load	,
		bool(const PropertyNode prop, Assets assets, const Primitive *primitive)
	)

Load an asset from a property node.

Configure and initialize the asset by a property node given by prop. Some assets have references to the other assets, so assets is also required. Dependent asset must be loaded beforehand.

Also, some asset requires primitive information (e.g., transformation or meshes). In this case you can use information obtained from primitive.

The property node contains the tree structure below the params node in the asset definitions. For instance, the asset defined by the following configuration creates a property with two nodes 'A' and 'B'. The values can be accessed from the interfaces of PropertyNode class.

some_asset:
    interface: some_interface
    type: some_type
    params:
        A: some_value_1
        B: some_value_2

Parameters

prop	Property node for the asset.
assets	Asset manager.

Return values

true	Succeeded to load.
false	Failed to load.

Asset::LM_INTERFACE_F	(	1	,
		PostLoad	,
		bool(const Scene *scene)
	)

Post processing of the asset.

The function is called when the all primitives are loaded. If the asset needs postprocessing that requires scene information (e.g., scene bound, etc.), we can implement this function.

Parameters

scene Scene.

Return values

true	Succeeded to load.
false	Failed to load.
