RenderView

Remarks

A view is not a camera. A frame has one main camera and a dozen views — four shadow cascades, six probe faces, a UI overlay — and they differ only in a frustum and a set of stages. Making the shadow renderer build a "camera" would be modelling the shadow map as a thing the game can see through, which it is not.

Which stages a view wants is a mask rather than a list for the reason RenderStageMask gives: culling asks the question once per object per view, and a shadow view wanting only ShadowCaster is what stops it walking the UI.

Fields and properties (10)

• public string Name

  The view's name, for logging and profiling.

• public RenderStageMask Stages

  The stages this view collects work from.

• public Vector3 Position

  Where the view is, which is what depth sorting measures from.

• public BoundingFrustum Frustum

  What the view can see.

• public Matrix4x4 ViewProjection

  The matrix that takes a world position to this view's clip space.

• public RenderCamera? Camera

  How this view's projection was built, for the things that need more than the matrix.

• public Matrix4x4 PreviousViewProjection

  Where this view was looking last frame, which is what a motion vector is measured against.

• public int Index

  The view's index within the frame, assigned by RenderSystem.

• public float MaximumDistance

  Objects beyond this distance are culled, whatever the frustum says. Zero disables it.

• public float ScreenHeightScale

  Multiply by radius / distance to get the fraction of the viewport's height an object covers. Zero disables screen-size work — LOD selection — for this view.

Methods (3)

• public RenderView(string name)

  One thing being rendered from: a camera, a shadow cascade, a reflection probe face.

• public void Advance()

  Moves this frame's matrix into PreviousViewProjection.

• public override string ToString()

  Returns a string that represents the current object.
