## Classes

| Definition of a functor for calculating the hashcode of a Pass. More...

## Detailed Description

Class defining a single pass of a Technique (of a Material), i.e.

a single rendering call.

Remarks:
  Rendering can be repeated with many passes for more complex effects. Each pass is either a fixed-function pass (meaning it does not use a vertex or fragment program) or a programmable pass (meaning it does use either a vertex and fragment program, or both).

  Programmable passes are complex to define, because they require custom programs and you have to set all constant inputs to the programs (like the position of lights, any base material colours you wish to use etc), but they do give you much total flexibility over the algorithms used to render your pass, and you can create some effects which are impossible with a fixed-function pass. On the other hand, you can define a fixed-function pass in very little time, and you can use a range of fixed-function effects like environment mapping very easily, plus your pass will be more likely to be compatible with older hardware. There are pros and cons to both, just remember that if you use a programmable pass to create some great effects, allow more time for definition and testing.

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Ogre::Pass::BuiltinHashFunction

There are some default hash functions used to order passes so that render state changes are minimised, this enumerates them.

Enumeration values:

  MIN_TEXTURE_CHANGE | Try to minimise the number of texture changes.

  MIN_GPU_PROGRAM_CHANGE

  Try to minimise the number of GPU program changes.
  Note:
    Only really useful if you use GPU programs for all of your materials.

unsigned short Ogre::Pass::_getTextureUnitWithContentTypeIndex | ( | TextureUnitState::ContentType | contentType,
|  | unsigned short | index
| ) | const

Gets the 'nth' texture which references the given content type.

Remarks:
  If the 'nth' texture unit which references the content type doesn't exist, then this method returns an arbitrary high-value outside the valid range to index texture units.

void Ogre::Pass::_recalculateHash | ( | void |  | ) |

Internal method for recalculating the hash.

Remarks:
  Do not call this unless you are sure the old hash is not still being used by anything. If in doubt, call _dirtyHash if you want to force recalculation of the has next time.

Pass* Ogre::Pass::_split | ( | unsigned short | numUnits | ) |

Splits this Pass to one which can be handled in the number of texture units specified.

Remarks:
  Only works on non-programmable passes, programmable passes cannot be split, it's up to the author to ensure that there is a fallback Technique for less capable cards.

void Ogre::Pass::setAlphaRejectFunction | ( | CompareFunction | func | ) |

| Sets the alpha reject function. See setAlphaRejectSettings for more information.

void Ogre::Pass::setAlphaRejectSettings | ( | CompareFunction | func,
|  | unsigned char | value,
|  | bool | alphaToCoverageEnabled = `false`
| ) |

Sets the way the pass will have use alpha to totally reject pixels from the pipeline.

Remarks:
  The default is CMPF_ALWAYS_PASS i.e. alpha is not used to reject pixels.

Parameters:

  | func | The comparison which must pass for the pixel to be written.
  | value | 1 byte value against which alpha values will be tested(0-255)
  | alphaToCoverageEnabled | Whether to enable alpha to coverage support

Note:
  This option applies in both the fixed function and the programmable pipeline.

void Ogre::Pass::setAlphaRejectValue | ( | unsigned char | val | ) |

| Gets the alpha reject value. See setAlphaRejectSettings for more information.

void Ogre::Pass::setAlphaToCoverageEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Sets whether to use alpha to coverage (A2C) when blending alpha rejected values.

Remarks:
  Alpha to coverage performs multisampling on the edges of alpha-rejected textures to produce a smoother result. It is only supported when multisampling is already enabled on the render target, and when the hardware supports alpha to coverage (see RenderSystemCapabilities).

void Ogre::Pass::setAmbient | ( | const ColourValue & | ambient | ) |

Sets the ambient colour reflectance properties of this pass.

Remarks:
  The base colour of a pass is determined by how much red, green and blue light is reflects (provided texture layer #0 has a blend mode other than LBO_REPLACE). This property determines how much ambient light (directionless global light) is reflected. The default is full white, meaning objects are completely globally illuminated. Reduce this if you want to see diffuse or specular light effects, or change the blend of colours to make the object have a base colour other than white.

Note:
  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setAmbient | ( | Real | red,
|  | Real | green,
|  | Real | blue
| ) |

Sets the ambient colour reflectance properties of this pass.

Remarks:
  The base colour of a pass is determined by how much red, green and blue light is reflects (provided texture layer #0 has a blend mode other than LBO_REPLACE). This property determines how much ambient light (directionless global light) is reflected. The default is full white, meaning objects are completely globally illuminated. Reduce this if you want to see diffuse or specular light effects, or change the blend of colours to make the object have a base colour other than white.

Note:
  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setColourWriteEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Sets whether or not colour buffer writing is enabled for this Pass.

Remarks:
  For some effects, you might wish to turn off the colour write operation when rendering geometry; this means that only the depth buffer will be updated (provided you have depth buffer writing enabled, which you probably will do, although you may wish to only update the stencil buffer for example - stencil buffer state is managed at the RenderSystem level only, not the Material since you are likely to want to manage it at a higher level).

void Ogre::Pass::setCullingMode | ( | CullingMode | mode | ) |

Sets the culling mode for this pass based on the 'vertex winding'.

Remarks:
  A typical way for the rendering engine to cull triangles is based on the 'vertex winding' of triangles. Vertex winding refers to the direction in which the vertices are passed or indexed to in the rendering operation as viewed from the camera, and will wither be clockwise or anticlockwise (that's 'counterclockwise' for you Americans out there ;) The default is CULL_CLOCKWISE i.e. that only triangles whose vertices are passed/indexed in anticlockwise order are rendered - this is a common approach and is used in 3D studio models for example. You can alter this culling mode if you wish but it is not advised unless you know what you are doing.

  You may wish to use the CULL_NONE option for mesh data that you cull yourself where the vertex winding is uncertain.

void Ogre::Pass::setDepthBias | ( | float | constantBias,
|  | float | slopeScaleBias = `0.0f`
| ) |

Sets the depth bias to be used for this material.

Remarks:
  When polygons are coplanar, you can get problems with 'depth fighting' where the pixels from the two polys compete for the same screen pixel. This is particularly a problem for decals (polys attached to another surface to represent details such as bulletholes etc.).

  A way to combat this problem is to use a depth bias to adjust the depth buffer value used for the decal such that it is slightly higher than the true value, ensuring that the decal appears on top. There are two aspects to the biasing, a constant bias value and a slope-relative biasing value, which varies according to the maximum depth slope relative to the camera, ie:

      finalBias = maxSlope * slopeScaleBias + constantBias

  Note that slope scale bias, whilst more accurate, may be ignored by old hardware.

Parameters:

  | constantBias | The constant bias value, expressed as a factor of the minimum observable depth
  | slopeScaleBias | The slope-relative bias value, expressed as a factor of the depth slope

void Ogre::Pass::setDepthCheckEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Sets whether or not this pass renders with depth-buffer checking on or not.

Remarks:
  If depth-buffer checking is on, whenever a pixel is about to be written to the frame buffer the depth buffer is checked to see if the pixel is in front of all other pixels written at that point. If not, the pixel is not written.

  If depth checking is off, pixels are written no matter what has been rendered before. Also see setDepthFunction for more advanced depth check configuration.

See also:
  setDepthFunction

void Ogre::Pass::setDepthFunction | ( | CompareFunction | func | ) |

Sets the function used to compare depth values when depth checking is on.

Remarks:
  If depth checking is enabled (see setDepthCheckEnabled) a comparison occurs between the depth value of the pixel to be written and the current contents of the buffer. This comparison is normally CMPF_LESS_EQUAL, i.e. the pixel is written if it is closer (or at the same distance) than the current contents. If you wish you can change this comparison using this method.

void Ogre::Pass::setDepthWriteEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Sets whether or not this pass renders with depth-buffer writing on or not.

Remarks:
  If depth-buffer writing is on, whenever a pixel is written to the frame buffer the depth buffer is updated with the depth value of that new pixel, thus affecting future rendering operations if future pixels are behind this one.

  If depth writing is off, pixels are written without updating the depth buffer Depth writing should normally be on but can be turned off when rendering static backgrounds or when rendering a collection of transparent objects at the end of a scene so that they overlap each other correctly.

void Ogre::Pass::setDiffuse | ( | const ColourValue & | diffuse | ) |

Sets the diffuse colour reflectance properties of this pass.

Remarks:
  The base colour of a pass is determined by how much red, green and blue light is reflects (provided texture layer #0 has a blend mode other than LBO_REPLACE). This property determines how much diffuse light (light from instances of the Light class in the scene) is reflected. The default is full white, meaning objects reflect the maximum white light they can from Light objects.

Note:
  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setDiffuse | ( | Real | red,
|  | Real | green,
|  | Real | blue,
|  | Real | alpha
| ) |

Sets the diffuse colour reflectance properties of this pass.

Remarks:
  The base colour of a pass is determined by how much red, green and blue light is reflects (provided texture layer #0 has a blend mode other than LBO_REPLACE). This property determines how much diffuse light (light from instances of the Light class in the scene) is reflected. The default is full white, meaning objects reflect the maximum white light they can from Light objects.

Note:
  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setFog | ( | bool | overrideScene,
|  | FogMode | mode = `FOG_NONE`,
|  | const ColourValue & | colour = `ColourValue::White`,
|  | Real | expDensity = `0.001`,
|  | Real | linearStart = `0.0`,
|  | Real | linearEnd = `1.0`
| ) |

Sets the fogging mode applied to this pass.

Remarks:
  Fogging is an effect that is applied as polys are rendered. Sometimes, you want fog to be applied to an entire scene. Other times, you want it to be applied to a few polygons only. This pass-level specification of fog parameters lets you easily manage both.

  The SceneManager class also has a setFog method which applies scene-level fog. This method lets you change the fog behaviour for this pass compared to the standard scene-level fog.

Parameters:

  | overrideScene | If true, you authorise this pass to override the scene's fog params with it's own settings. If you specify false, so other parameters are necessary, and this is the default behaviour for passes.
  | mode | Only applicable if overrideScene is true. You can disable fog which is turned on for the rest of the scene by specifying FOG_NONE. Otherwise, set a pass-specific fog mode as defined in the enum FogMode.
  | colour | The colour of the fog. Either set this to the same as your viewport background colour, or to blend in with a skydome or skybox.
  | expDensity | The density of the fog in FOG_EXP or FOG_EXP2 mode, as a value between 0 and 1. The default is 0.001.
  | linearStart | Distance in world units at which linear fog starts to encroach. Only applicable if mode is FOG_LINEAR.
  | linearEnd | Distance in world units at which linear fog becomes completely opaque. Only applicable if mode is FOG_LINEAR.

void Ogre::Pass::setFragmentProgram | ( | const String & | name,
|  | bool | resetParams = `true`
| ) |

Sets the details of the fragment program to use.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes, this sets the details of the fragment program to use in this pass. The program will not be loaded until the parent Material is loaded.

Parameters:

  | name | The name of the program - this must have been created using GpuProgramManager by the time that this Pass is loaded. If this parameter is blank, any fragment program in this pass is disabled.
  | resetParams | If true, this will create a fresh set of parameters from the new program being linked, so if you had previously set parameters you will have to set them again. If you set this to false, you must be absolutely sure that the parameters match perfectly, and in the case of named parameters refers to the indexes underlying them, not just the names.

void Ogre::Pass::setFragmentProgramParameters | ( | GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr | params | ) |

Sets the fragment program parameters.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes.

void Ogre::Pass::setGeometryProgram | ( | const String & | name,
|  | bool | resetParams = `true`
| ) |

Sets the details of the geometry program to use.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes, this sets the details of the geometry program to use in this pass. The program will not be loaded until the parent Material is loaded.

Parameters:

  | name | The name of the program - this must have been created using GpuProgramManager by the time that this Pass is loaded. If this parameter is blank, any geometry program in this pass is disabled.
  | resetParams | If true, this will create a fresh set of parameters from the new program being linked, so if you had previously set parameters you will have to set them again. If you set this to false, you must be absolutely sure that the parameters match perfectly, and in the case of named parameters refers to the indexes underlying them, not just the names.

void Ogre::Pass::setGeometryProgramParameters | ( | GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr | params | ) |

Sets the geometry program parameters.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes.

static void Ogre::Pass::setHashFunction | ( | HashFunc * | hashFunc | ) | `[static]`

Set the hash function used for all passes.

Remarks:
  You absolutely must not change the hash function whilst any Pass instances exist in the render queue. The only time you can do this is either before you render anything, or directly after you manuall call RenderQueue::clear(true) to completely destroy the queue structures.

Note:
  You can also use one of the built-in hash functions, see the alternate version of this method. The default is MIN_TEXTURE_CHANGE.

See also:
  HashFunc

Definition at line 1568 of file OgrePass.h.

static void Ogre::Pass::setHashFunction | ( | BuiltinHashFunction | builtin | ) | `[static]`

Sets one of the default hash functions to be used.

Remarks:
  You absolutely must not change the hash function whilst any Pass instances exist in the render queue. The only time you can do this is either before you render anything, or directly after you manuall call RenderQueue::clear(true) to completely destroy the queue structures. The default is MIN_TEXTURE_CHANGE.

Note:
  You can also implement your own hash function, see the alternate version of this method.

See also:
  HashFunc

void Ogre::Pass::setIlluminationStage | ( | IlluminationStage | is | ) |

Manually set which illumination stage this pass is a member of.

Remarks:
  When using an additive lighting mode (SHADOWTYPE_STENCIL_ADDITIVE or SHADOWTYPE_TEXTURE_ADDITIVE), the scene is rendered in 3 discrete stages, ambient (or pre-lighting), per-light (once per light, with shadowing) and decal (or post-lighting). Usually OGRE figures out how to categorise your passes automatically, but there are some effects you cannot achieve without manually controlling the illumination. For example specular effects are muted by the typical sequence because all textures are saved until the IS_DECAL stage which mutes the specular effect. Instead, you could do texturing within the per-light stage if it's possible for your material and thus add the specular on after the decal texturing, and have no post-light rendering.

  If you assign an illumination stage to a pass you have to assign it to all passes in the technique otherwise it will be ignored. Also note that whilst you can have more than one pass in each group, they cannot alternate, ie all ambient passes will be before all per-light passes, which will also be before all decal passes. Within their categories the passes will retain their ordering though.

void Ogre::Pass::setIteratePerLight | ( | bool | enabled,
|  | bool | onlyForOneLightType = `true`,
|  | Light::LightTypes | lightType = `Light::LT_POINT`
| ) |

Sets whether or not this pass should iterate per light or number of lights which can affect the object being rendered.

Remarks:
  The default behaviour for a pass (when this option is 'false'), is for a pass to be rendered only once (or the number of times set in setPassIterationCount), with all the lights which could affect this object set at the same time (up to the maximum lights allowed in the render system, which is typically 8).

  Setting this option to 'true' changes this behaviour, such that instead of trying to issue render this pass once per object, it is run per light, or for a group of 'n' lights each time which can affect this object, the number of times set in setPassIterationCount (default is once). In this case, only light index 0 is ever used, and is a different light every time the pass is issued, up to the total number of lights which is affecting this object. This has 2 advantages:
  - There is no limit on the number of lights which can be supported
  - It's easier to write vertex / fragment programs for this because a single program can be used for any number of lights
  However, this technique is more expensive, and typically you will want an additional ambient pass, because if no lights are affecting the object it will not be rendered at all, which will look odd even if ambient light is zero (imagine if there are lit objects behind it - the objects silhouette would not show up). Therefore, use this option with care, and you would be well advised to provide a less expensive fallback technique for use in the distance.

Note:
  The number of times this pass runs is still limited by the maximum number of lights allowed as set in setMaxSimultaneousLights, so you will never get more passes than this. Also, the iteration is started from the 'start light' as set in Pass::setStartLight, and the number of passes is the number of lights to iterate over divided by the number of lights per iteration (default 1, set by setLightCountPerIteration).

Parameters:

  | enabled | Whether this feature is enabled
  | onlyForOneLightType | If true, the pass will only be run for a single type of light, other light types will be ignored.
  | lightType | The single light type which will be considered for this pass

void Ogre::Pass::setIterationDepthBias | ( | float | biasPerIteration | ) |

Sets a factor which derives an additional depth bias from the number of times a pass is iterated.

Remarks:
  The Final depth bias will be the constant depth bias as set through setDepthBias, plus this value times the iteration number.

void Ogre::Pass::setLightClipPlanesEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Gets whether or not this pass will be clipped by user clips planes bounding the area covered by the light.

Remarks:
  In order to cut down on the geometry set up to render this pass when you have a single fixed-range light being rendered through it, you can enable this option to request that during triangle setup, clip planes are defined to bound the range of the light. In the case of a point light these planes form a cube, and in the case of a spotlight they form a pyramid. Directional lights are never clipped.

  This option is only likely to be useful for multipass additive lighting algorithms, where the scene has already been 'seeded' with an ambient pass and this pass is just adding light in affected areas. In addition, it will only be honoured if there is exactly one non-directional light being used in this pass. Also, these clip planes override any user clip planes set on Camera.

Note:
  When using SHADOWTYPE_STENCIL_ADDITIVE or SHADOWTYPE_TEXTURE_ADDITIVE, this option is automatically used for all per-light passes if you enable SceneManager::setShadowUseLightClipPlanes and does not need to be specified. It is disabled by default since clip planes have a cost of their own which may not always exceed the benefits they give you.

Definition at line 1500 of file OgrePass.h.

void Ogre::Pass::setLightCountPerIteration | ( | unsigned short | c | ) |

If light iteration is enabled, determine the number of lights per iteration.

Remarks:
  The default for this setting is 1, so if you enable light iteration (Pass::setIteratePerLight), the pass is rendered once per light. If you set this value higher, the passes will occur once per 'n' lights. The start of the iteration is set by Pass::setStartLight and the end by Pass::setMaxSimultaneousLights.

void Ogre::Pass::setLightingEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Sets whether or not dynamic lighting is enabled.

Parameters:

  | enabled | If true, dynamic lighting is performed on geometry with normals supplied, geometry without normals will not be displayed.

  If false, no lighting is applied and all geometry will be full brightness.

void Ogre::Pass::setLightScissoringEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Sets whether or not this pass will be clipped by a scissor rectangle encompassing the lights that are being used in it.

Remarks:
  In order to cut down on fillrate when you have a number of fixed-range lights in the scene, you can enable this option to request that during rendering, only the region of the screen which is covered by the lights is rendered. This region is the screen-space rectangle covering the union of the spheres making up the light ranges. Directional lights are ignored for this.

  This is only likely to be useful for multipass additive lighting algorithms, where the scene has already been 'seeded' with an ambient pass and this pass is just adding light in affected areas.

Note:
  When using SHADOWTYPE_STENCIL_ADDITIVE or SHADOWTYPE_TEXTURE_ADDITIVE, this option is implicitly used for all per-light passes and does not need to be specified. If you are not using shadows or are using a modulative or an integrated shadow technique then this could be useful.

Definition at line 1471 of file OgrePass.h.

void Ogre::Pass::setManualCullingMode | ( | ManualCullingMode | mode | ) |

Sets the manual culling mode, performed by CPU rather than hardware.

Remarks:
  In some situations you want to use manual culling of triangles rather than sending the triangles to the hardware and letting it cull them. This setting only takes effect on SceneManager's that use it (since it is best used on large groups of planar world geometry rather than on movable geometry since this would be expensive), but if used can cull geometry before it is sent to the hardware.

Note:
  The default for this setting is MANUAL_CULL_BACK.

Parameters:

  | mode | The mode to use - see enum ManualCullingMode for details

void Ogre::Pass::setMaxSimultaneousLights | ( | unsigned short | maxLights | ) |

Sets the maximum number of lights to be used by this pass.

Remarks:
  During rendering, if lighting is enabled (or if the pass uses an automatic program parameter based on a light) the engine will request the nearest lights to the object being rendered in order to work out which ones to use. This parameter sets the limit on the number of lights which should apply to objects rendered with this pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setName | ( | const String & | name | ) |

void Ogre::Pass::setNormaliseNormals | ( | bool | normalise | ) |

If set to true, this forces normals to be normalised dynamically by the hardware for this pass.

Remarks:
  This option can be used to prevent lighting variations when scaling an object - normally because this scaling is hardware based, the normals get scaled too which causes lighting to become inconsistent. By default the SceneManager detects scaled objects and does this for you, but this has an overhead so you might want to turn that off through SceneManager::setNormaliseNormalsOnScale(false) and only do it per-Pass when you need to.

Definition at line 1386 of file OgrePass.h.

void Ogre::Pass::setPassIterationCount | ( | const size_t | count | ) |

set the number of iterations that this pass should perform when doing fast multi pass operation.

Remarks:
  Only applicable for programmable passes.

Parameters:

  count

  number of iterations to perform fast multi pass operations. A value greater than 1 will cause the pass to be executed count number of times without changing the render state. This is very usefull for passes that use programmable shaders that have to iterate more than once but don't need a render state change. Using multi pass can dramatically speed up rendering for materials that do things like fur, blur. A value of 1 turns off multi pass operation and the pass does the normal pass operation.

Definition at line 1432 of file OgrePass.h.

void Ogre::Pass::setPointAttenuation | ( | bool | enabled,
|  | Real | constant = `0.0f`,
|  | Real | linear = `1.0f`,
|  | Real | quadratic = `0.0f`
| ) |

Sets how points are attenuated with distance.

Remarks:
  When performing point rendering or point sprite rendering, point size can be attenuated with distance. The equation for doing this is attenuation = 1 / (constant + linear * dist + quadratic * d^2).

  For example, to disable distance attenuation (constant screensize) you would set constant to 1, and linear and quadratic to 0. A standard perspective attenuation would be 0, 1, 0 respectively.

Note:
  The resulting size is clamped to the minimum and maximum point size.

Parameters:

  | enabled | Whether point attenuation is enabled
  | constant,linear,quadratic | Parameters to the attenuation function defined above

void Ogre::Pass::setPointMaxSize | ( | Real | max | ) |

Set the maximum point size, when point attenuation is in use.

Remarks:
  Setting this to 0 indicates the max size supported by the card.

void Ogre::Pass::setPointMinSize | ( | Real | min | ) |

| Set the minimum point size, when point attenuation is in use.

void Ogre::Pass::setPointSize | ( | Real | ps | ) |

Sets the point size of this pass.

Remarks:
  This setting allows you to change the size of points when rendering a point list, or a list of point sprites. The interpretation of this command depends on the Pass::setPointSizeAttenuation option - if it is off (the default), the point size is in screen pixels, if it is on, it expressed as normalised screen coordinates (1.0 is the height of the screen) when the point is at the origin.

Note:
  Some drivers have an upper limit on the size of points they support
  - this can even vary between APIs on the same card! Don't rely on point sizes that cause the point sprites to get very large on screen, since they may get clamped on some cards. Upper sizes can range from 64 to 256 pixels.

void Ogre::Pass::setPointSpritesEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Sets whether or not rendering points using OT_POINT_LIST will render point sprites (textured quads) or plain points (dots).

Parameters:

  | enabled | True enables point sprites, false returns to normal point rendering.

void Ogre::Pass::setPolygonMode | ( | PolygonMode | mode | ) |

Sets the type of polygon rendering required.

Note:
  The default shading method is Solid

virtual void Ogre::Pass::setPolygonModeOverrideable | ( | bool | override | ) | `[virtual]`

Sets whether this pass's chosen detail level can be overridden (downgraded) by the camera setting.

Parameters:

  | override | true means that a lower camera detail will override this pass's detail level, false means it won't (default true).

Definition at line 835 of file OgrePass.h.

void Ogre::Pass::setSceneBlending | ( | const SceneBlendFactor | sourceFactor,
|  | const SceneBlendFactor | destFactor
| ) |

Allows very fine control of blending this Pass with the existing contents of the scene.

Remarks:
  Whereas the texture blending operations seen in the TextureUnitState class are concerned with blending between texture layers, this blending is about combining the output of the material as a whole with the existing contents of the rendering target. This blending therefore allows object transparency and other special effects.

  This version of the method allows complete control over the blending operation, by specifying the source and destination blending factors. The result of the blending operation is: final = (texture * sourceFactor) + (pixel * destFactor)

  Each of the factors is specified as one of a number of options, as specified in the SceneBlendFactor enumerated type.

Parameters:

  | sourceFactor | The source factor in the above calculation, i.e. multiplied by the texture colour components.
  | destFactor | The destination factor in the above calculation, i.e. multiplied by the pixel colour components.

Note:
  This method is applicable for both the fixed-function and programmable pipelines.

void Ogre::Pass::setSceneBlending | ( | const SceneBlendType | sbt | ) |

Sets the kind of blending this pass has with the existing contents of the scene.

Remarks:
  Wheras the texture blending operations seen in the TextureUnitState class are concerned with blending between texture layers, this blending is about combining the output of the Pass as a whole with the existing contents of the rendering target. This blending therefore allows object transparency and other special effects. If all passes in a technique have a scene blend, then the whole technique is considered to be transparent.

  This method allows you to select one of a number of predefined blending types. If you require more control than this, use the alternative version of this method which allows you to specify source and destination blend factors.

Note:
  This method is applicable for both the fixed-function and programmable pipelines.

Parameters:

  | sbt | One of the predefined SceneBlendType blending types

void Ogre::Pass::setSelfIllumination | ( | const ColourValue & | selfIllum | ) |

Sets the amount of self-illumination an object has.

Remarks:
  If an object is self-illuminating, it does not need external sources to light it, ambient or otherwise. It's like the object has it's own personal ambient light. This property is rarely useful since you can already specify per-pass ambient light, but is here for completeness.

Note:
  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setSelfIllumination | ( | Real | red,
|  | Real | green,
|  | Real | blue
| ) |

Sets the amount of self-illumination an object has.

Remarks:
  If an object is self-illuminating, it does not need external sources to light it, ambient or otherwise. It's like the object has it's own personal ambient light. This property is rarely useful since you can already specify per-pass ambient light, but is here for completeness.

Note:
  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setSeparateSceneBlending | ( | const SceneBlendFactor | sourceFactor,
|  | const SceneBlendFactor | destFactor,
|  | const SceneBlendFactor | sourceFactorAlpha,
|  | const SceneBlendFactor | destFactorAlpha
| ) |

Allows very fine control of blending this Pass with the existing contents of the scene.

Remarks:
  Wheras the texture blending operations seen in the TextureUnitState class are concerned with blending between texture layers, this blending is about combining the output of the material as a whole with the existing contents of the rendering target. This blending therefore allows object transparency and other special effects.

  This version of the method allows complete control over the blending operation, by specifying the source and destination blending factors. The result of the blending operation is: final = (texture * sourceFactor) + (pixel * destFactor)

  Each of the factors is specified as one of a number of options, as specified in the SceneBlendFactor enumerated type.

Parameters:

  | sourceFactor | The source factor in the above calculation, i.e. multiplied by the texture colour components.
  | destFactor | The destination factor in the above calculation, i.e. multiplied by the pixel colour components.
  | sourceFactorAlpha | The alpha source factor in the above calculation, i.e. multiplied by the texture alpha component.
  | destFactorAlpha | The alpha destination factor in the above calculation, i.e. multiplied by the pixel alpha component.

Note:
  This method is applicable for both the fixed-function and programmable pipelines.

void Ogre::Pass::setSeparateSceneBlending | ( | const SceneBlendType | sbt,
|  | const SceneBlendType | sbta
| ) |

Sets the kind of blending this pass has with the existing contents of the scene, separately for color and alpha channels.

Remarks:
  Whereas the texture blending operations seen in the TextureUnitState class are concerned with blending between texture layers, this blending is about combining the output of the Pass as a whole with the existing contents of the rendering target. This blending therefore allows object transparency and other special effects. If all passes in a technique have a scene blend, then the whole technique is considered to be transparent.

  This method allows you to select one of a number of predefined blending types. If you require more control than this, use the alternative version of this method which allows you to specify source and destination blend factors.

Note:
  This method is applicable for both the fixed-function and programmable pipelines.

Parameters:

  | sbt | One of the predefined SceneBlendType blending types for the color channel
  | sbta | One of the predefined SceneBlendType blending types for the alpha channel

void Ogre::Pass::setShadingMode | ( | ShadeOptions | mode | ) |

Sets the type of light shading required.

Note:
  The default shading method is Gouraud shading.

void Ogre::Pass::setShadowCasterVertexProgram | ( | const String & | name | ) |

Sets the details of the vertex program to use when rendering as a shadow caster.

Remarks:
  Texture-based shadows require that the caster is rendered to a texture in a solid colour (the shadow colour in the case of modulative texture shadows). Whilst Ogre can arrange this for the fixed function pipeline, passes which use vertex programs might need the vertex programs still to run in order to preserve any deformation etc that it does. However, lighting calculations must be a lot simpler, with only the ambient colour being used (which the engine will ensure is bound to the shadow colour).

  Therefore, it is up to implementors of vertex programs to provide an alternative vertex program which can be used to render the object to a shadow texture. Do all the same vertex transforms, but set the colour of the vertex to the ambient colour, as bound using the standard auto parameter binding mechanism.

Note:
  Some vertex programs will work without doing this, because Ogre ensures that all lights except for ambient are set black. However, the chances are that your vertex program is doing a lot of unnecessary work in this case, since the other lights are having no effect, and it is good practice to supply an alternative.

  This is only applicable to programmable passes.

  The default behaviour is for Ogre to switch to fixed-function rendering if an explicit vertex program alternative is not set.

void Ogre::Pass::setShadowCasterVertexProgramParameters | ( | GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr | params | ) |

Sets the vertex program parameters for rendering as a shadow caster.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes, and this particular call is designed for low-level programs; use the named parameter methods for setting high-level program parameters.

void Ogre::Pass::setShadowReceiverFragmentProgram | ( | const String & | name | ) |

This method allows you to specify a fragment program for use when rendering a texture shadow receiver.

Remarks:
  Texture shadows are applied by rendering the receiver. Modulative texture shadows are performed as a post-render darkening pass, and as such fragment programs are generally not required per-object. Additive texture shadows, however, are applied by accumulating light masked out using a texture shadow (black & white by default, unless you customise this using SceneManager::setCustomShadowCasterMaterial). OGRE can do this for you for most materials, but if you use a custom lighting program (e.g. per pixel lighting) then you'll need to provide a custom version for receiving shadows. You don't need to provide this for shadow casters if you don't use self-shadowing since they will never be shadow receivers too.

  The shadow texture is always bound to texture unit 0 when rendering texture shadow passes. Therefore your custom shadow receiver program may well just need to shift it's texture unit usage up by one unit, and take the shadow texture into account in its calculations.

void Ogre::Pass::setShadowReceiverFragmentProgramParameters | ( | GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr | params | ) |

Sets the fragment program parameters for rendering as a shadow receiver.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes, and this particular call is designed for low-level programs; use the named parameter methods for setting high-level program parameters.

void Ogre::Pass::setShadowReceiverVertexProgram | ( | const String & | name | ) |

Sets the details of the vertex program to use when rendering as a shadow receiver.

Remarks:
  Texture-based shadows require that the shadow receiver is rendered using a projective texture. Whilst Ogre can arrange this for the fixed function pipeline, passes which use vertex programs might need the vertex programs still to run in order to preserve any deformation etc that it does. So in this case, we need a vertex program which does the appropriate vertex transformation, but generates projective texture coordinates.

  Therefore, it is up to implementors of vertex programs to provide an alternative vertex program which can be used to render the object as a shadow receiver. Do all the same vertex transforms, but generate 2 sets of texture coordinates using the auto parameter ACT_TEXTURE_VIEWPROJ_MATRIX, which Ogre will bind to the parameter name / index you supply as the second parameter to this method. 2 texture sets are needed because Ogre needs to use 2 texture units for some shadow effects.

Note:
  This is only applicable to programmable passes.

  The default behaviour is for Ogre to switch to fixed-function rendering if an explict vertex program alternative is not set.

void Ogre::Pass::setShadowReceiverVertexProgramParameters | ( | GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr | params | ) |

Sets the vertex program parameters for rendering as a shadow receiver.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes, and this particular call is designed for low-level programs; use the named parameter methods for setting high-level program parameters.

void Ogre::Pass::setShininess | ( | Real | val | ) |

Sets the shininess of the pass, affecting the size of specular highlights.

Note:
  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setSpecular | ( | const ColourValue & | specular | ) |

Sets the specular colour reflectance properties of this pass.

Remarks:
  The base colour of a pass is determined by how much red, green and blue light is reflects (provided texture layer #0 has a blend mode other than LBO_REPLACE). This property determines how much specular light (highlights from instances of the Light class in the scene) is reflected. The default is to reflect no specular light.

Note:
  The size of the specular highlights is determined by the separate 'shininess' property.

  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setSpecular | ( | Real | red,
|  | Real | green,
|  | Real | blue,
|  | Real | alpha
| ) |

Sets the specular colour reflectance properties of this pass.

Remarks:
  The base colour of a pass is determined by how much red, green and blue light is reflects (provided texture layer #0 has a blend mode other than LBO_REPLACE). This property determines how much specular light (highlights from instances of the Light class in the scene) is reflected. The default is to reflect no specular light.

Note:
  The size of the specular highlights is determined by the separate 'shininess' property.

  This setting has no effect if dynamic lighting is disabled (see Pass::setLightingEnabled), or if this is a programmable pass.

void Ogre::Pass::setStartLight | ( | unsigned short | startLight | ) |

Sets the light index that this pass will start at in the light list.

Remarks:
  Normally the lights passed to a pass will start from the beginning of the light list for this object. This option allows you to make this pass start from a higher light index, for example if one of your earlier passes could deal with lights 0-3, and this pass dealt with lights 4+. This option also has an interaction with pass iteration, in that if you choose to iterate this pass per light too, the iteration will only begin from light 4.

void Ogre::Pass::setTextureAnisotropy | ( | unsigned int | maxAniso | ) |

Sets the anisotropy level to be used for all textures.

Note:
  This property has been moved to the TextureUnitState class, which is accessible via the Technique and Pass. For simplicity, this method allows you to set these properties for every current TeextureUnitState, If you need more precision, retrieve the Technique, Pass and TextureUnitState instances and set the property there.

See also:
  TextureUnitState::setTextureAnisotropy

void Ogre::Pass::setTextureFiltering | ( | TextureFilterOptions | filterType | ) |

Set texture filtering for every texture unit.

Note:
  This property actually exists on the TextureUnitState class For simplicity, this method allows you to set these properties for every current TeextureUnitState, If you need more precision, retrieve the TextureUnitState instance and set the property there.

See also:
  TextureUnitState::setTextureFiltering

void Ogre::Pass::setTransparentSortingEnabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Sets whether or not transparent sorting is enabled.

Parameters:

  | enabled | If false depth sorting of this material will be disabled.

Remarks:
  By default all transparent materials are sorted such that renderables furthest away from the camera are rendered first. This is usually the desired behaviour but in certain cases this depth sorting may be unnecessary and undesirable. If for example it is necessary to ensure the rendering order does not change from one frame to the next.

Note:
  This will have no effect on non-transparent materials.

void Ogre::Pass::setVertexColourTracking | ( | TrackVertexColourType | tracking | ) |

| Sets which material properties follow the vertex colour.

void Ogre::Pass::setVertexProgram | ( | const String & | name,
|  | bool | resetParams = `true`
| ) |

Sets the details of the vertex program to use.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes, this sets the details of the vertex program to use in this pass. The program will not be loaded until the parent Material is loaded.

Parameters:

  | name | The name of the program - this must have been created using GpuProgramManager by the time that this Pass is loaded. If this parameter is blank, any vertex program in this pass is disabled.
  | resetParams | If true, this will create a fresh set of parameters from the new program being linked, so if you had previously set parameters you will have to set them again. If you set this to false, you must be absolutely sure that the parameters match perfectly, and in the case of named parameters refers to the indexes underlying them, not just the names.

void Ogre::Pass::setVertexProgramParameters | ( | GpuProgramParametersSharedPtr | params | ) |

Sets the vertex program parameters.

Remarks:
  Only applicable to programmable passes, and this particular call is designed for low-level programs; use the named parameter methods for setting high-level program parameters.
