Detailed Description

A schema marking a prim as instanced by another prim.

Many renderers need to know not what prototypes an instancer has, but rather what instancers a prototype has; this is encoded in "instancedBy". A prim is "instancedBy" /Instancer if /Instancer has a prototype path that's a parent of the prim. A complicating exception is if /A instances /A/B, which instances /A/B/C, we don't consider /A to be instancing /A/B/C directly; this is to support nested explicit instancing of things like leaves/trees/forests.

This value is computed based on the instancer topology of instancer prims in the scene.

Note: if multiple instancers reference a prototype, it's possible for instancedBy to contain multiple entries. Some renderers may be able to read this directly, but some may need to duplicate prims with an op so that each prim has a single instancer, depending on how the renderer exposes instancing.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

HdInstancedBySchema::HdInstancedBySchema ( HdContainerDataSourceHandle  container )

inline

Retrieves a container data source with the schema's default name token "instancedBy" from the parent container and constructs a HdInstancedBySchema instance. Because the requested container data source may not exist, the result should be checked with IsDefined() or a bool comparison before use.

Member Function Documentation

static HD_API HdContainerDataSourceHandle HdInstancedBySchema::BuildRetained ( const HdPathArrayDataSourceHandle &  paths, const HdPathArrayDataSourceHandle &  prototypeRoots  )

static

Deprecated:

Use Builder instead.

Builds a container data source which includes the provided child data sources. Parameters with nullptr values are excluded. This is a low-level interface. For cases in which it's desired to define the container with a sparse set of child fields, the Builder class is often more convenient and readable.

static HD_API const HdDataSourceLocator& HdInstancedBySchema::GetDefaultLocator ( )

static

Returns an HdDataSourceLocator (relative to the prim-level data source) where the container representing this schema is found by default.

static HD_API HdInstancedBySchema HdInstancedBySchema::GetFromParent ( const HdContainerDataSourceHandle &  fromParentContainer )

static

Retrieves a container data source with the schema's default name token "instancedBy" from the parent container and constructs a HdInstancedBySchema instance. Because the requested container data source may not exist, the result should be checked with IsDefined() or a bool comparison before use.

HD_API HdPathArrayDataSourceHandle HdInstancedBySchema::GetPaths

(

)

const

static HD_API const HdDataSourceLocator& HdInstancedBySchema::GetPathsLocator ( )

static

Prim-level relative data source locator to locate paths.

HD_API HdPathArrayDataSourceHandle HdInstancedBySchema::GetPrototypeRoots

(

)

const

static HD_API const TfToken& HdInstancedBySchema::GetSchemaToken ( )

static

Returns a token where the container representing this schema is found in a container by default.
