Graphics State (continued)
Function
Description
RiSurface (name, parameterlist) sets the current surface shader. name is the name
of a surface shader.
RiTextureCoordinates (s1, t1,
s2, t2, s3, t3, s4, t4)
RiTransform (transform)
RiTransformBegin ()
RiTransformEnd ()
RiTransformPoints (fromspace,
tospace, n, points)
sets the current set of texture coordinates to the values
passed as arguments.
sets the current transformation to the transformation
transform.
saves and restores the current transformation.
transforms the array of points from the coordinate
system fromspace to the coordinate system
tospace.
RiTranslate () concatenates a translation onto the current
transformation.
RiWorldBegin ()
RiWorldEnd ()
Starts and ends the description of the scene
geometry for a specific image.
Function
RiBasis (ubasis, ustep, vbasis,
vstep)
RiBlobby (nleaf, ncode, code,
nfloats, floats, nstrings, strings, ...)
RiCone (height, radius, thetamax,
parameterlist)
RiCurves (type, ncurves,
nvertices, wrap, parameterlist)
RiCylinder (radius, zmin, zmax,
thetamax, parameterlist)
RiDisk (height, radius, thetamax,
parameterlist)
RiGeneralPolygon (nloops,
nverts, parameterlist)
Geometric Primitives
Description
sets the current u-basis to ubasis and the current
v-basis to vbasis.
requests an implicit surface.
requests a cone.
requests a collection of lines, curves, or ribbons.
requests a cylinder.
requests a disk.
defines a general planar concave polygon with
holes.
RiGeometry (type, parameterlist) provides a standard way of defining an
implementation-specific geometric primitive.
RiHyperboloid (point1, point2,
thetamax, parameterlist)
RiNuPatch (nu, uorder, uknot,
umin, umax, nv, vorder, vknot,
vmin, vmax, parameterlist)
requests a hyperboloid.
creates a single tensor product rational or polynomial
non-uniform B-spline surface patch.
