ParameterInfo

Remarks

The engine-facing list. A material sets Material.tint without knowing which set or block it lives in, and writes it at into the buffer bound at (, ) — no reflection lookup at draw time.

Fields and properties (9)

• public string Name

  Dotted path, unique across the whole interface.

• public ShaderDataType Type

  The value's shape.

• public int Set

  Descriptor set holding it.

• public int Binding

  Binding within that set.

• public int Offset

  Byte offset within the block.

• public int Size

  Bytes occupied.

• public int ArrayStride

  Bytes between array elements, or 0.

• public int MatrixStride

  Bytes between matrix columns, or 0.

• public string DefaultValue

  What the author initialised it to, as text, or empty when it had no initialiser or a computed one. This is the host's default, not the shader's: a uniform block arrives already filled, so a uniform's initialiser never runs anywhere. It says what a host should put there when it has nothing of its own — and a writer that filled only the parameters somebody set would give var exposure: float = 1f the value zero, which is a black frame produced by a parameter nobody touched. Text rather than a typed value, for the reason DefaultValue is: the schema crosses to a source generator that cannot reference this assembly, and one invariant spelling is easier to agree on than a union.

Methods (1)

• public ParameterInfo(string Name, ShaderDataType Type, int Set, int Binding, int Offset, int Size, int ArrayStride, int MatrixStride, string DefaultValue = "")

  One writable value, flattened out of the descriptor sets.
