operator()() [4/4]

requires std::is_base_of_v<Nodes::Network::NodeNetwork, Network>

auto MayaFlux::Evolve::operator() ( const std::shared_ptr< Network > &  network, const Nodes::Network::SpatialFieldConfig &  spatial, const FieldBinder &  bind, const RenderConfig &  render  ) -> std::shared_ptr<Network>

inline

Drive a network's vertices with fields and spatial stages, and attach rendering.

Template Parameters

Network

A field-compatible NodeNetwork subclass, such as ParticleNetwork.

Parameters

network	Unregistered network.
spatial	Spatial hash, claim, density and population configuration. Default constructed means field displacement only.
bind	Called with the GpuFieldOperator before the geometry buffer is registered. May be empty when the config alone is wanted.
render	Render target. target_window is required.

Returns

The network, or nullptr if it is null, has no primary GraphicsOperator to read a layout from, or the target window is null.

A ParticleNetwork with no primary operator and its default operator enabled receives a PhysicsOperator. The GpuFieldOperator is created with the primary operator's vertex layout and appended to the network's operator chain, or reused if the chain already holds one, in which case spatial is ignored. The network and its NetworkGeometryBuffer are then registered in the graphics domain and rendering is attached. Registering the buffer wires the field pass and every spatial stage the config selects.
