mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement Class Reference
[Miscellaneous]
Description
A scene element that stores measured BSDF data. The measured BSDF is split into the two components for reflection and transmission. Currently, only isotropic data is supported (see the abstract interface mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_isotropic_data). The data can be imported from file or can be passed via the API.
A BSDF measurement appears in the scene as an argument of an MDL function call (see mi::neuraylib::IFunction_call) or default argument of an MDL function definition (see mi::neuraylib::IFunction_definition). The type of such an argument is mi::neuraylib::IType_bsdf_measurement or an alias of it.

Member Functions
- virtual const char* mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::get_filename() const [pure virtual]
-
Returns the resolved file name of the file containing the BSDF measurement. The method returns NULL if there is no file associated with the BSDF measurement, e.g., after default construction, calls to set_reflection() or set_transmission(), or failures to resolves the file name passed to reset_file().
See also:
- virtual const char* mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::get_original_filename() const [pure virtual]
-
Returns the unresolved file name as passed to reset_file(). The method returns NULL after default construction or calls to set_reflection() or set_transmission().
See also:
- virtual const base::IInterface* mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::get_reflection() const [pure virtual]
-
Returns the BSDF data for the reflection. Note that it is not possible to manipulate the BSDF data.
Returns
The BSDF data for reflection, or NULL if there is none.
-
template< class T>
const T* mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::get_reflection() const [inline] -
Returns the BSDF data for reflection. Note that it is not possible to manipulate the BSDF data.
This templated member function is a wrapper of the non-template variant for the user's convenience. It eliminates the need to call mi::base::IInterface::get_interface( const Uuid &) on the returned pointer, since the return type already is a const pointer to the type T specified as template parameter.
Returns
The BSDF data for reflection, or NULL on failure (no BSDF data available or if T does not match the element's type).
- virtual const base::IInterface* mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::get_transmission() const [pure virtual]
-
Returns the BSDF data for transmission. Note that it is not possible to manipulate the BSDF data.
Returns
The BSDF data for transmission, or NULL if there is none.
-
template< class T>
const T* mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::get_transmission() const [inline] -
Returns the BSDF data for transmission. Note that it is not possible to manipulate the BSDF data.
This templated member function is a wrapper of the non-template variant for the user's convenience. It eliminates the need to call mi::base::IInterface::get_interface( const Uuid &) on the returned pointer, since the return type already is a const pointer to the type T specified as template parameter.
Returns
The BSDF data for transmission, or NULL on failure (no BSDF data available or if T does not match the element's type).
- virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::reset_file( const char* filename) [pure virtual]
-
Sets the BSDF measurement to a file identified by filename.
See also:
mi::neuraylib::IMdl_factory::create_bsdf_measurement() for a way to create a BSDF measurement based on an MDL file path instead of a filename.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- -1: Invalid parameters (NULL pointer).
- -3: Invalid filename extension (only .mbsdf is supported).
- -4: Failure to resolve the given filename, e.g., the file does not exist.
- -5: Failure to open the resolved file.
- -7: Invalid file format.
- virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::reset_reader( IReader* reader) [pure virtual]
-
Sets the BSDF measurement to the data provided by a reader.
Parameters
- reader
- The reader that provides the data for the BSDF measurement in .mbsdf format.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- -1: Invalid parameters (NULL pointer).
- -7: Invalid file format.
- virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::set_reflection( const IBsdf_isotropic_data* bsdf_data) [pure virtual]
-
Sets the BSDF data for the reflection.
Parameters
- bsdf_data
- The BSDF data to be used by this BSDF measurement. The value NULL can be used to remove the BSDF data for reflection.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- -2: The resolution or type of bsdf_data is invalid.
- virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::IBsdf_measurement::set_transmission( const IBsdf_isotropic_data* bsdf_data) [pure virtual]
-
Sets the BSDF data for transmission.
Parameters
- bsdf_data
- The BSDF data to be used by this BSDF measurement. The value NULL can be used to remove the BSDF data for transmission.
Returns
- 0: Success.
- -2: The resolution or type of bsdf_data is invalid.
