RenderToEnvironmentMap Class (Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D)

Generalizes the process of rendering to environment maps. An environment map is used to texture-map scene geometry to provide a more sophisticated scene without using complex geometry. This class supports the creation of surfaces for the following kinds of geometry: cube, half sphere or hemispheric, parabolic, and sphere.

Members Table

The following table lists the members exposed by the object.

Events

Event	Description
Disposing	Occurs when the Dispose method is called or when the RenderToEnvironmentMap object is finalized and collected by the garbage collector of the .NET common language runtime.
Lost	Occurs when an object is lost, normally immediately prior to a device reset.
Reset	Occurs after the RenderToEnvironmentMap.OnResetDevice method is called or after the Device is reset.

Methods

Method	Description
BeginCube	Initiates the rendering of a cubic environment map.
BeginHemisphere	Initiates the rendering of a hemisphere environment map.
BeginParabolic	Initiates the rendering of a parabolic environment map.
BeginSphere	Initiates the rendering of a spherical environment map.
Dispose	Immediately releases the unmanaged resources used by the RenderToEnvironmentMap object.
End	Ends a scene for an environmental map.
Equals	Returns a value that indicates whether the current instance is equal to a specified object.
Face	Initiates the drawing of each face of an environment map.
Finalize	Allows the RenderToEnvironmentMap object to free resources before it is destroyed by the garbage collector.
GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for the current instance.
GetObjectByValue	This member supports the infrastructure for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
OnLostDevice	Releases all references to video memory resources and deletes all state blocks.
OnResetDevice	Should be called after a device is reset and before any other methods are called, if Device.IsUsingEventHandlers is set to false.
op_Equality	Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are the same.
op_Inequality	Compares the current instance of a class to another instance to determine whether they are different.
raise_Disposing	Raises the Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.RenderToEnvironmentMap.Disposing event when called from within a derived class.
raise_Lost	Raises a RenderToEnvironmentMap.Lost event when called from within a derived class.
raise_Reset	Raises a RenderToEnvironmentMap.Reset event when called from within a derived class.
RenderToEnvironmentMap	Initializes a new instance of the RenderToEnvironmentMap class.
UpdateUnmanagedPointer	Updates the unmanaged pointer for this RenderToEnvironmentMap object. This method supports the Microsoft .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly in your code.

Properties

Property	Description
Description	Retrieves the description of the render surface.
Device	Retrieves the Device associated with the environment map.
Disposed	Gets a value that indicates whether the object is disposed.
UnmanagedComPointer	Returns the unmanaged Component Object Model (COM) ID3DXRenderToEnvMap interface pointer.
