public interface ShadowGate

Method Summary

boolean	shouldDrawShadows(TriMesh mesh) Give a hint to the shadow render pass as to whether a given triangle mesh is a candidate for shadow drawing.
boolean	shouldUpdateShadows(TriMesh mesh) Give a hint to the shadow render pass as to whether a given triangle mesh is a candidate for shadow updates.

Method Detail

shouldUpdateShadows

boolean shouldUpdateShadows(TriMesh mesh)

Give a hint to the shadow render pass as to whether a given triangle mesh is a candidate for shadow updates. This hint will be combined with other hints such as locking.

Parameters:

mesh - the mesh to check

Returns:

true if we think this mesh's shadows are ok to test for an update.

shouldDrawShadows

boolean shouldDrawShadows(TriMesh mesh)

Give a hint to the shadow render pass as to whether a given triangle mesh is a candidate for shadow drawing. This hint will be combined with other hints such as locking.

Parameters:

mesh - the mesh to check

Returns:

true if we think this mesh's shadows are ok to draw
