h3d.scene.Scene is the root class for a 3D scene. All root objects are added to it before being drawn on screen.

Constructor

@:value({ createLightSystem : true, createRenderer : true })new(createRenderer:Bool = true, createLightSystem:Bool = true)

Create a new scene. A default 3D scene is already available in hxd.App.s3d

Variables

camera:Camera

The scene current camera.

lightSystem:LightSystem

The scene light system. Can be customized.

renderer:Renderer

The scene renderer. Can be customized.

Methods

addEventListener(f:Event ‑> Void):Void

Add an event listener that will capture all events not caught by an h2d.Interactive

computeStatic():Void

Perform a rendering with RendererContext.computingStatic=true, allowing the computation of static shadow maps, etc.

dispose():Void

Free the GPU memory for this Scene and its children

hardwarePick(pixelX:Float, pixelY:Float):Object

Use GPU rendering to pick a model at the given pixel position. hardwarePick() will check all scene visible meshes bounds against a ray cast with current camera, then draw them into a 1x1 pixel texture with a specific shader. The texture will then be read and the color will identify the object that was rendered at this pixel. This is a very precise way of doing scene picking since it performs exactly the same transformations (skinning, custom shaders, etc.) but might be more costly than using CPU colliders. Please note that when done during/after rendering, this might clear the screen on some platforms so it should always be done before rendering.

removeEventListener(f:Event ‑> Void):Bool

Remove a previously added event listener, return false it was not part of our event listeners.

@:access(h3d.mat.Pass)@:access(h3d.scene.RenderContext)render(engine:Engine):Void

Render the scene on screen. Internal usage only.

serializeScene():Bytes

Serialize the scene content as HSD bytes (see hxd.fmt.hsd package). Requires -lib hxbit

setElapsedTime(elapsedTime:Float):Void

Before render() or sync() are called, allow to set how much time has elapsed (in seconds) since the last frame in order to update scene animations. This is managed automatically by hxd.App

syncOnly(et:Float):Void

Synchronize the scene without rendering, updating all objects and animations by the given amount of time, in seconds.

Inherited Variables

Defined by Object

allowSerialize:Bool

When enabled, the object can be serialized (default : true)

alwaysSync:Bool

When an object is not visible or culled, its animation does not get synchronized unless you set alwaysSync=true

culled:Bool

Inform that the object is not to be displayed and his animation doesn't have to be sync. Unlike visible, this doesn't apply to children unless inheritCulled is set to true.

cullingCollider:Collider

When set, collider shape will be used for automatic frustum culling. If inheritCulled is true, collider will be inherited to children unless they have their own collider set.

defaultTransform:Matrix

This is an additional optional transformation that is performed before other local transformations. It is used by the animation system.

@:sfollow:Object

Follow a given object or joint as if it was our parent. Ignore defaultTransform when set.

followPositionOnly:Bool

When follow is set, only follow the position and ignore both scale and rotation.

ignoreBounds:Bool

When enabled, the object bounds are ignored when using getBounds()

ignoreCollide:Bool

When enabled, the object is ignored when using getCollider()

ignoreParentTransform:Bool

When enabled, the object will not follow its parent transform

inheritCulled:Bool

When enabled, the culled flag and culling collider is inherited by children objects.

lightCameraCenter:Bool

When selecting the lights to apply to this object, we will use the camera target as reference instead of the object absolute position. This is useful for very large objects so they can get good lighting.

@:sname:Null<String>

The name of the object, can be used to retrieve an object within a tree by using getObjectByName (default null)

read onlynumChildren:Int

How many immediate children this object has.

read onlyparent:Object

The parent object in the scene tree.

@:sscaleX:Float

The amount of scaling along the X axis of this object (default 1.0)

@:sscaleY:Float

The amount of scaling along the Y axis of this object (default 1.0)

@:sscaleZ:Float

The amount of scaling along the Z axis of this object (default 1.0)

visible:Bool

Is the object and its children are displayed on screen (default true).

@:sx:Float

The x position of the object relative to its parent.

@:sy:Float

The y position of the object relative to its parent.

@:sz:Float

The z position of the object relative to its parent.

Inherited Methods

Defined by Object

addChild(o:Object):Void

Add a child object at the end of the children list.

addChildAt(o:Object, pos:Int):Void

Insert a child object at the specified position of the children list.

@:value({ recursive : true })applyAnimationTransform(recursive:Bool = true):Void

When an object is loaded, its position scale and rotation will always be set to the default values (0 for position/rotation and 1 for scale). If it's part of a group/scene or if it's animated, then its position/rotation/scale will be stored into the defaultTransform matrix. Calling this function will reset the defaultTransform to null and instead initialize x/y/z/rotation/scale properties. This will not change the actual position of the object but allows you to move the object more freely on your own. Do not use on an object that is currently being animated, since it will set again defaultTransform and apply twice the transformation.

contains(o:Object):Bool

Tells if the object is contained into this object children, recursively.

find<T>(f:Object ‑> Null<T>):Null<T>

Find a single object in the tree by calling f on each and returning the first not-null value returned, or null if not found.

findAll<T>(f:Object ‑> Null<T>, ?arr:Array<T>):Array<T>

Find several objects in the tree by calling f on each and returning all the not-null values returned.

getAbsPos():Matrix

@:finalfinalgetBounds(?b:Bounds):Bounds

getChildIndex(o:Object):Int

Return the index of the object o within our immediate children list, or -1 if it is not part of our children list.

@:finalfinalgetCollider():Collider

Build and return the global absolute recursive collider for the object. Returns null if no collider was found or if ignoreCollide was set to true.
