The Renderable trait must be implemented by a type that is a client of the 3D model system. It provides associated types for a renderable context (this might be a particular shader program within a OpenGL context, for example), and then its own structures that are used to hold BufferData, textures, materials, and sets of renderable Vertices.

Required Associated Types

type Buffer: BufferClient

The renderer’s type that reflects a BufferData

A BufferData is a slice of u8 that contains some data (indices, vertex data, etc) for an object

type Descriptor: DescriptorClient

The renderer’s type that reflects a BufferDescriptor

A buffer descriptor is a slice of a BufferData that contains multiple records, each of which contains a number of fields for different VertexAttr

type DataAccessor: AccessorClient

The renderer’s type that reflects a BufferDataAccessor

A BufferDataAccessor is a reference to a single entry in a BufferDescriptor; hence it might be ‘Position’ for a vertex, from a large array of vertex records in an object

type IndexAccessor: AccessorClient

The renderer’s type that reflects a BufferIndexAccessor

A BufferIndexAccessor represents a slice of a BufferData containing indices for accessing an array of vertex records for rendering a primitive in an object

type Texture: TextureClient

The renderer’s type that represents a texture; this is supplied to material creation, and hence is less a product of the renderer and more an input to the 3D model library

type Material: MaterialClient

The renderer’s type that reflects a Material; this is expected to be an extraction of the aspects of a material that the renderer pipelines can apply.

type Vertices: VerticesClient

The renderer’s type that reflects a [BufferAccessor] of indices and the associated [BufferAccessor]s of attributes supported by a particular pipeline within the renderer

Required Methods

fn init_buffer_data_client( &mut self, client: &mut Self::Buffer, buffer_data: &BufferData<'_, Self>, )

Initialize a buffer data client - it will have been created using default()

This is invoked by the base library only when the client invoked ‘create_client’ for a data buffer

fn init_buffer_desc_client( &mut self, client: &mut Self::Descriptor, buffer_desc: &BufferDescriptor<'_, Self>, )

Initialize a buffer descriptor client - it will have been created using default()

fn init_index_accessor_client( &mut self, client: &mut Self::IndexAccessor, buffer_view: &BufferIndexAccessor<'_, Self>, )

Initialize the client of an index accessor of a buffer data

fn init_data_accessor_client( &mut self, client: &mut Self::DataAccessor, buffer_view: &BufferDataAccessor<'_, Self>, )

Initialize the client of a data accessor of a buffer data

fn create_vertices_client( &mut self, vertices: &Vertices<'_, Self>, ) -> Self::Vertices

Create a client

fn create_texture_client( &mut self, texture: &Texture<'_, Self>, ) -> Self::Texture

Create a client

fn create_material_client<M>( &mut self, object: &Object<'_, M, Self>, material: &M, ) -> Self::Material

where M: Material,

Create a client

fn init_material_client<M: Material>( &mut self, client: &mut Self::Material, material: &M, )

Create a client for a reason - reason 0 is reserved Can we lose this?

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
