Interfaces

The interfaces comprise the bulk of the purpose of the RAMA project. All of the interfaces are defined in C++ using virtual functions (in some cases pure virtual). These interfaces are subject to change until version 1.0 has been reached, and the inerfaces have been frozen.

• Ext - Provide basic information and a standard way to interact with extensions
  • Object - An extension whose instantiation may inhabit a scene
    • Primitive - An object that may be drawn
      • Mesh - Wireframe, nurbs, or some other mesh-like object
    • Light - Illuminates a scene
  • Shader - Performs lighting calculations
  • Texture - Determine color at a specified point (2, 3, or 4 dimensional)
  • Atmosphere - Change characteristics of light traveling through air or volume
  • Renderer - Create an image of a scene
