Detailed Description

The SoShadowSpotLight class is a node for setting up a spot light which casts shadows.

This node can be used instead of a normal spot light if you need to improve the performance by supplying a simplified scene graph to be used when rendering the shadow map(s). For instance, the shadow map scene graph doesn't need any textures or materials, and any non-casters can also be excluded from this scene graph. It's more optimal to use this node than to use the SoShadowStyle node to control this, at the cost of some extra application complexity.

It's especially useful if you have a scene with few shadow caster nodes and lots of shadow receiver nodes.

Currently, this node must be placed somewhere in the SoShadowGroup subgraph to cast shadows.

Here is the example from SoShadowGroup, modified to use SoShadowSpotLight instead of a normal SoSpotLight. Notice that only the sphere casts shadows.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SoShadowSpotLight()

SoShadowSpotLight::SoShadowSpotLight ( void )

Constructor.

◆ ~SoShadowSpotLight()

SoShadowSpotLight::~SoShadowSpotLight ( )
protectedvirtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getClassTypeId()

SoType SoShadowSpotLight::getClassTypeId ( void )
static

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

◆ getTypeId()

SoType SoShadowSpotLight::getTypeId ( void ) const
virtual

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Reimplemented from SoSpotLight.

◆ getFieldDataPtr()

const SoFieldData ** SoShadowSpotLight::getFieldDataPtr ( void )
staticprotected

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

◆ getFieldData()

const SoFieldData * SoShadowSpotLight::getFieldData ( void ) const
protectedvirtual

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoSpotLight.

◆ initClass()

void SoShadowSpotLight::initClass ( void )
static

◆ GLRender()

void SoShadowSpotLight::GLRender ( SoGLRenderAction * action)
virtual

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.

Reimplemented from SoSpotLight.

Member Data Documentation

◆ shadowMapScene

SoSFNode SoShadowSpotLight::shadowMapScene

The shadow map scene graph. If this is NULL (the default), the node will behave as a normal SoSpotLight node.

◆ nearDistance

SoSFFloat SoShadowSpotLight::nearDistance

Can be used to set a fixed near distance for this spot light. The value in this field will be used if it is set to > 0.0. Default value is -1.0.

◆ farDistance

SoSFFloat SoShadowSpotLight::farDistance

Can be used to set a fixed far distance for this spot light. The value in this field will be used if it is set to > 0.0. Default value is -1.0.
