Syntax

public abstract class CloudRenderer

Fields

SupportDynamicSunLight

Determines if the clouds should be rendered when the sun light changes.

Declaration

public bool SupportDynamicSunLight

Field Value

Type	Description
Boolean

Methods

Build()

Called on startup. Create resources used by the renderer (shaders, materials, etc).

Declaration

public abstract void Build()

Cleanup()

Called on cleanup. Release resources used by the renderer.

Declaration

public abstract void Cleanup()

GetSunLightCookieParameters(CloudSettings, ref CookieParameters)

Get the parameters for overriding the main directional light cookie for one frame.

Declaration

public virtual bool GetSunLightCookieParameters(CloudSettings settings, ref CookieParameters cookieParams)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
CloudSettings	settings	Current cloud settings.
CookieParameters	cookieParams	Overriden values for cookie parameters.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if the cookie should be overriden and RenderSunLightCookie should be called.

PreRenderClouds(BuiltinSkyParameters, Boolean)

Preprocess for rendering the clouds. Called before the DepthPrePass operations

Declaration

public virtual void PreRenderClouds(BuiltinSkyParameters builtinParams, bool renderForCubemap)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BuiltinSkyParameters	builtinParams	Engine parameters that you can use to render the clouds.
Boolean	renderForCubemap	Pass in true if you want to render the clouds into a cubemap for lighting. This is useful when the cloud renderer needs a different implementation in this case.

RenderClouds(BuiltinSkyParameters, Boolean)

Implements actual rendering of the clouds. HDRP calls this when rendering the clouds into a cubemap (for lighting) and also during main frame rendering.

Declaration

public abstract void RenderClouds(BuiltinSkyParameters builtinParams, bool renderForCubemap)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BuiltinSkyParameters	builtinParams	Engine parameters that you can use to render the clouds.
Boolean	renderForCubemap	Pass in true if you want to render the clouds into a cubemap for lighting. This is useful when the cloud renderer needs a different implementation in this case.

RenderSunLightCookie(BuiltinSunCookieParameters)

HDRP calls this function once every frame where GetSunLightCookieParameters returns true. Implement it if your CloudRenderer needs to render a texture to use for the light cookie (for example for cloud shadow rendering).

Declaration

public virtual void RenderSunLightCookie(BuiltinSunCookieParameters builtinParams)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BuiltinSunCookieParameters	builtinParams	Engine parameters that you can use to render the sun light cookie.

RequiresPreRenderClouds(BuiltinSkyParameters)

Whether the PreRenderClouds step is required.

Declaration

public virtual bool RequiresPreRenderClouds(BuiltinSkyParameters builtinParams)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BuiltinSkyParameters	builtinParams	Engine parameters that you can use to render the clouds.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if the PreRenderClouds step is required.

Update(BuiltinSkyParameters)

HDRP calls this function once every frame. Implement it if your CloudRenderer needs to iterate independently of the user defined update frequency (see CloudSettings UpdateMode).

Declaration

protected virtual bool Update(BuiltinSkyParameters builtinParams)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BuiltinSkyParameters	builtinParams	Engine parameters that you can use to update the clouds.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	True if the update determines that cloud lighting needs to be re-rendered. False otherwise.
