PipelineBufferExtensions (Mibo)

PipelineBufferExtensions Type

Namespace: Mibo.Rendering.Graphics3D
Assembly: Mibo.dll
Base Type: obj

Provides a fluent, discoverable API for submitting 3D rendering commands to a RenderBuffer.

Most methods return the buffer instance to allow for method chaining. These extensions are optimized for the 3D pipeline and handle the transition between opaque and transparent rendering passes automatically.

Static member	Description
`PipelineBufferExtensions.AddLight(this, light)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.AddLight(this, light)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` light : `Light` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Adds a single dynamic light to the current lighting environment. Unlike 'Lighting', this does not replace existing lights. It appends the new light to the collection for the current frame. Useful for lights attached to dynamic objects. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` light : `Light` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.Billboard(this, texture, billboard)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.Billboard(this, texture, billboard)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` texture : `Texture2D` billboard : `Billboard3D` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Submits a camera-facing billboard to the Transparent pass. Useful for particles, lens flares, and foliage. The pipeline handles the orientation math based on the active camera at render time. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` texture : `Texture2D` billboard : `Billboard3D` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.BillboardOpaque(this, texture, billboard)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.BillboardOpaque(this, texture, billboard)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` texture : `Texture2D` billboard : `Billboard3D` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Submits a camera-facing billboard to the Opaque pass. Rarely used, but effective for high-performance impostors that do not require alpha blending. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` texture : `Texture2D` billboard : `Billboard3D` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.Camera(this, camera)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.Camera(this, camera)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` camera : `Camera` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Configures the view and projection matrices for all subsequent draw calls in the current buffer. This command triggers an internal state change. If multiple cameras are needed (e.g., for a split-screen or a minimap), you should submit a new Camera command between the respective draw calls. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` camera : `Camera` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Example `buffer.Camera(myCamera).Draw(player)`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.Clear(this, color)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.Clear(this, color)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` - The render buffer. color : `Color` - The background color to fill the target with. Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Clears the color and depth buffers of the current render target. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` The render buffer. color : `Color` The background color to fill the target with. Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.ClearDepth(this)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.ClearDepth(this)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Resets the depth buffer without affecting the color data. Essential when drawing transparent overlays or "always-on-top" objects (like silhouettes) that should not be occluded by world geometry. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.ClearTarget(this, color, clearDepth)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.ClearTarget(this, color, clearDepth)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` - The render buffer. color : `Color` - The background color. If black is desired, pass `Color.Black`. clearDepth : `bool` - If true, the Z-buffer is reset to 1.0, allowing new depth tests to pass. Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Performs a targeted clear operation on the current render target. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` The render buffer. color : `Color` The background color. If black is desired, pass `Color.Black`. clearDepth : `bool` If true, the Z-buffer is reset to 1.0, allowing new depth tests to pass. Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.Custom(this, drawFn)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.Custom(this, drawFn)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` drawFn : `GraphicsDevice -> Camera -> unit` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Injects a custom rendering callback for low-level GraphicsDevice access. This is an "escape hatch" for operations not supported by the DSL, such as dispatching compute shaders or drawing custom vertex buffers. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` drawFn : `GraphicsDevice -> Camera -> unit` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.Draw(this, drawable)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.Draw(this, drawable)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` - The render buffer. drawable : `Drawable voption` - The object to render. Passing `ValueNone` is a safe no-op. Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Adds a pre-configured drawable to the pipeline. This is the standard way to submit meshes. The pipeline will automatically assign the drawable to the Opaque or Transparent pass based on its material flags. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` The render buffer. drawable : `Drawable voption` The object to render. Passing `ValueNone` is a safe no-op. Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.DrawMany(this, drawables)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.DrawMany(this, drawables)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` drawables : `'a` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline Type parameters: 'a	Efficiently submits a collection of drawables. Ideal for rendering lists of entities or particles. Skips all `ValueNone` entries. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` drawables : `'a` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.Lighting(this, lighting)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.Lighting(this, lighting)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` lighting : `LightingState` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` Modifiers: inline	Sets the global lighting environment, including ambient light and the dynamic light collection. The 3D pipeline uses this state to pack light data into textures for the PBR shader. Only one lighting state can be active at a time; submitting a new one replaces the previous. this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` lighting : `LightingState` Returns: `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>`
`PipelineBufferExtensions.Line(this, p1, p2, color)` Full Usage: `PipelineBufferExtensions.Line(this, p1, p2, color)` Parameters: this : `PipelineBuffer<RenderCommand>` - The render buffer. p1 : `Vector3` - Starting point in world space. p2 : `Vector3` - Ending point in world space. color : `Color` - The color of the line.
