phenomena in Metashader portion of SPDL 2005-03-07 - By Haarm-Pieter Duiker
Back
Hello,
I'm trying to put together an SPDL file for a phenomenon. The declaration is
straightforward in the .mi language but is proving to be a little elusive to
implement in an SPDL. The Phenomenon section of the SPDL documentation seems
easy enough but the documentation suggests that we should be using the
Metashader when working with XSI 4.0 and up. I'm trying to go in that direction
but the documentation on writing a phenomenon within a Metashader section isn't
an complete as one would hope. Does anyone know of examples of this situation?
There is one more issue that I was hoping someone could shed a little light on.
The phenomenon, testSurface8_v1, is a simple wrapper around another shader,
testSurface_v1. testSurface_v1 doesn't have an SPDL nor do I want it to. I
would like it to be accessible for use within the phenomenon but not within the
interface. Is this possible? If it is, again, does anyone know of any examples
of this situation?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Haarm-Pieter Duiker
PS Here's the SPDL file as it stands now :
