## Detailed Description

Pre-transforms and batches up meshes for efficient use as instanced geometry in a scene.

Remarks:
  Shader instancing allows to save both memory and draw calls. While StaticGeometry stores 500 times the same object in a batch to display 500 objects, this shader instancing implementation stores only 80 times the object, and then re-uses the vertex data with different shader parameter. Although you save memory, you make more draw call. However, you still make less draw calls than if you were rendering each object independently. Plus, you can move the batched objects independently of one another which you cannot do with StaticGeometry.

  Therefore it is important when you are rendering a lot of geometry to batch things up into as few rendering calls as possible. This class allows you to build a batched object from a series of entities in order to benefit from this behaviour. Batching has implications of it's own though:
  - Batched geometry cannot be subdivided; that means that the whole group will be displayed, or none of it will. This obivously has culling issues.
  - A single material must apply for each batch. In fact this class allows you to use multiple materials, but you should be aware that internally this means that there is one batch per material. Therefore you won't gain as much benefit from the batching if you use many different materials; try to keep the number down.

  The bounding box information is computed whith object position only. It doesn't take account of the object orientation.

  The LOD settings of both the Mesh and the Materials used in constructing this instanced geometry will be respected. This means that if you use meshes/materials which have LOD, batches in the distance will have a lower polygon count or material detail to those in the foreground. Since each mesh might have different LOD distances, during build the furthest distance at each LOD level from all meshes in that BatchInstance is used. This means all the LOD levels change at the same time, but at the furthest distance of any of them (so quality is not degraded). Be aware that using Mesh LOD in this class will further increase the memory required. Only generated LOD is supported for meshes.

  There are 2 ways you can add geometry to this class; you can add Entity objects directly with predetermined positions, scales and orientations, or you can add an entire SceneNode and it's subtree, including all the objects attached to it. Once you've added everthing you need to, you have to call build() the fix the geometry in place.

  You should not construct instances of this class directly; instead, call SceneManager::createInstancedGeometry, which gives the SceneManager the option of providing you with a specialised version of this class if it wishes, and also handles the memory management for you like other classes.

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::addEntity | ( | Entity * | ent,
|  | const Vector3 & | position,
|  | const Quaternion & | orientation = `Quaternion::IDENTITY`,
|  | const Vector3 & | scale = `Vector3::UNIT_SCALE` |
| ) |  |  | `[virtual]`

Adds an Entity to the static geometry.

Remarks:
  This method takes an existing Entity and adds its details to the list of elements to include when building. Note that the Entity itself is not copied or referenced in this method; an Entity is passed simply so that you can change the materials of attached SubEntity objects if you want. You can add the same Entity instance multiple times with different material settings completely safely, and destroy the Entity before destroying this InstancedGeometry if you like. The Entity passed in is simply used as a definition.

Note:
  Must be called before 'build'.

Parameters:

  | ent | The Entity to use as a definition (the Mesh and Materials referenced will be recorded for the build call).
  | position | The world position at which to add this Entity
  | orientation | The world orientation at which to add this Entity
  | scale | The scale at which to add this entity

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::addSceneNode | ( | const SceneNode * | node | ) | `[virtual]`

Adds all the Entity objects attached to a SceneNode and all it's children to the static geometry.

Remarks:
  This method performs just like addEntity, except it adds all the entities attached to an entire sub-tree to the geometry. The position / orientation / scale parameters are taken from the node structure instead of being specified manually.

Note:
  The SceneNode you pass in will not be automatically detached from it's parent, so if you have this node already attached to the scene graph, you will need to remove it if you wish to avoid the overhead of rendering both the original objects and their new static versions! We don't do this for you incase you are preparing this in advance and so don't want the originals detached yet.

  Must be called before 'build'.

Parameters:

  | node | Pointer to the node to use to provide a set of Entity templates

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::build | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Build the geometry.

Remarks:
  Based on all the entities which have been added, and the batching options which have been set, this method constructs the batched geometry structures required. The batches are added to the scene and will be rendered unless you specifically hide them.

Note:
  Once you have called this method, you can no longer add any more entities.

void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::addBatchInstance | ( | void |  | ) |

Add a new batch instance.

Remarks:
  This method add a new instance of the whole batch, by creating a new BatchInstance, containing new lod buckets, material buckets and geometry buckets. The new geometry bukets will use the same buffers as the base bucket.

Note:
  no note

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::destroy | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Destroys all the built geometry state (reverse of build).

Remarks:
  You can call build() again after this and it will pick up all the same entities / nodes you queued last time.

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::reset | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Clears any of the entities / nodes added to this geometry and destroys anything which has already been built.

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::setRenderingDistance | ( | Real | dist | ) | `[virtual]`

Sets the distance at which batches are no longer rendered.

Remarks:
  This lets you turn off batches at a given distance. This can be useful for things like detail meshes (grass, foliage etc) and could be combined with a shader which fades the geometry out beforehand to lessen the effect.

Parameters:

  | dist | Distance beyond which the batches will not be rendered (the default is 0, which means batches are always rendered).

Definition at line 710 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual Real Ogre::InstancedGeometry::getRenderingDistance | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Gets the distance at which batches are no longer rendered.

Definition at line 716 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual Real Ogre::InstancedGeometry::getSquaredRenderingDistance | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Gets the squared distance at which batches are no longer rendered.

Definition at line 719 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::setVisible | ( | bool | visible | ) | `[virtual]`

Hides or shows all the batches.

virtual bool Ogre::InstancedGeometry::isVisible | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Are the batches visible?

Definition at line 726 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::setCastShadows | ( | bool | castShadows | ) | `[virtual]`

Sets whether this geometry should cast shadows.

Remarks:
  No matter what the settings on the original entities, the InstancedGeometry class defaults to not casting shadows. This is because, being static, unless you have moving lights you'd be better to use precalculated shadows of some sort. However, if you need them, you can enable them using this method. If the SceneManager is set up to use stencil shadows, edge lists will be copied from the underlying meshes on build. It is essential that all meshes support stencil shadows in this case.

Note:
  If you intend to use stencil shadows, you must set this to true before calling 'build' as well as making sure you set the scene's shadow type (that should always be the first thing you do anyway). You can turn shadows off temporarily but they can never be turned on if they were not at the time of the build.

virtual bool Ogre::InstancedGeometry::getCastShadows | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Will the geometry from this object cast shadows?

Definition at line 747 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::setBatchInstanceDimensions | ( | const Vector3 & | size | ) | `[virtual]`

Sets the size of a single BatchInstance of geometry.

Remarks:
  This method allows you to configure the physical world size of each BatchInstance, so you can balance culling against batch size. Entities will be fitted within the batch they most closely fit, and the eventual bounds of each batch may well be slightly larger than this if they overlap a little. The default is Vector3(1000, 1000, 1000).

Note:
  Must be called before 'build'.

Parameters:

  | size | Vector3 expressing the 3D size of each BatchInstance.

Definition at line 759 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual const Vector3& Ogre::InstancedGeometry::getBatchInstanceDimensions | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Gets the size of a single batch of geometry.

Definition at line 764 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::setOrigin | ( | const Vector3 & | origin | ) | `[virtual]`

Sets the origin of the geometry.

Remarks:
  This method allows you to configure the world centre of the geometry, thus the place which all BatchInstances surround. You probably don't need to mess with this unless you have a seriously large world, since the default set up can handle an area 1024 * mBatchInstanceDimensions, and the sparseness of population is no issue when it comes to rendering. The default is Vector3(0,0,0).

Note:
  Must be called before 'build'.

Parameters:

  | size | Vector3 expressing the 3D origin of the geometry.

Definition at line 776 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual const Vector3& Ogre::InstancedGeometry::getOrigin | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Gets the origin of this geometry.

Definition at line 778 of file OgreInstancedGeometry.h.

virtual void Ogre::InstancedGeometry::setRenderQueueGroup | ( | uint8 | queueID | ) | `[virtual]`

Sets the render queue group this object will be rendered through.

Remarks:
  Render queues are grouped to allow you to more tightly control the ordering of rendered objects. If you do not call this method, all objects default to the default queue (RenderQueue::getDefaultQueueGroup), which is fine for most objects. You may want to alter this if you want to perform more complex rendering.

  See RenderQueue for more details.

Parameters:

  | queueID | Enumerated value of the queue group to use.

virtual uint8 Ogre::InstancedGeometry::getRenderQueueGroup | ( | void |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Gets the queue group for this entity, see setRenderQueueGroup for full details.

BatchInstanceIterator Ogre::InstancedGeometry::getBatchInstanceIterator | ( | void |  | ) |

Get an iterator over the BatchInstances in this geometry.

RenderOperationVector& Ogre::InstancedGeometry::getRenderOperationVector | ( |  | ) |
