steam::play Namespace Reference

Description

Playback and rendering control subsystem.

The so called "player" combines and orchestrates services from the engine, session and vault to perform playback or rendering

Function Documentation

buildRenderConfiguration()

RenderConfigurator::ConnectFunction buildRenderConfiguration	(	POutputManager	outputPossibilities,
		Timings	playTimings
	)

Factory function to build a RenderConfigurator specifically tailored for a PlayProcess, about to be started.

this builder function is used by the PlayService when it comes to creating a new PlayProcess. The generated ConnectFunction treats a single ModelPort to produce a suitable rendering setup, pulling data from this port; it thus embodies the specific knowledge how to configure and setup the rendering or playback at the EngineFacade, based on the playback speed and quality desirable for this playback process to be initiated.

Remarks

building a special subclass here and managing this instance by smart-ptr. Then wrapping all of this up into a functor, which can thus be passed on by value. This functor will later on be used to transform each desired model port into a suitable output connection, where the actual output will be resolved through the given OutputManager

Parameters

outputPossibilities	an OutputManager instance describing the situation where output is about to be generated (e.g. a viewer in the GUI or a file to be rendered)
playbackTimings	characterisation of the kind of play/render. Besides the required delivery interval, this might also define quality-of-service expectations.

Returns

the public access point to an RenderConfigurator, wrapped as generic function object
