Implements IRenderable

A SkyBox class is used to render a sky in the scene. It's always considered static and 'at infinity', and as such it's always centered at the camera's position and sized to exactly fit within the camera's frustum, ensuring the sky box is always as large as possible without being clipped.

Constructor Detail
SkyBox()Constructor
public function SkyBox(cubeMap:CubeTextureBase)

Create a new SkyBox object.

Parameters
cubeMap:CubeTextureBase — The CubeMap to use for the sky box's texture.
Method Detail
createEntityPartitionNode()method
override protected function createEntityPartitionNode():EntityNode

Factory method that returns the current partition node. Needs to be overridden by concrete subclasses such as Mesh to return the correct concrete subtype of EntityPartition3DNode (for Mesh = MeshPartition3DNode, most IRenderables (particles fe) would return RenderablePartition3DNode, I suppose)

Returns
EntityNode
getCustomBuffer()method 
public function getCustomBuffer(stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy):VertexBuffer3D

Parameters

stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy

Returns
VertexBuffer3D
getIndexBuffer()method 
public function getIndexBuffer(stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy):IndexBuffer3D

Retrieves the VertexBuffer3D object that contains triangle indices.

Parameters

stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy — The Context3D for which we request the buffer

Returns
IndexBuffer3D — The VertexBuffer3D object that contains triangle indices.
getSecondaryUVBuffer()method 
public function getSecondaryUVBuffer(stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy):VertexBuffer3D

Parameters

stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy

Returns
VertexBuffer3D
getUVBuffer()method 
public function getUVBuffer(stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy):VertexBuffer3D

Retrieves the VertexBuffer3D object that contains texture coordinates.

Parameters

Returns
VertexBuffer3D — The VertexBuffer3D object that contains texture coordinates.
getVertexBuffer()method 
public function getVertexBuffer(stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy):VertexBuffer3D

Retrieves the VertexBuffer3D object that contains vertex positions.

Parameters

stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy — The Context3D for which we request the buffer

Returns
VertexBuffer3D — The VertexBuffer3D object that contains vertex positions.
getVertexNormalBuffer()method 
public function getVertexNormalBuffer(stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy):VertexBuffer3D

Retrieves the VertexBuffer3D object that contains vertex normals.

Parameters

stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy — The Context3D for which we request the buffer

Returns
VertexBuffer3D — The VertexBuffer3D object that contains vertex normals.
getVertexTangentBuffer()method 
public function getVertexTangentBuffer(stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy):VertexBuffer3D

Retrieves the VertexBuffer3D object that contains vertex tangents.

Parameters

stage3DProxy:Stage3DProxy — The Context3D for which we request the buffer

Returns
VertexBuffer3D — The VertexBuffer3D object that contains vertex tangents.
invalidateBounds()method 
override protected function invalidateBounds():void

Invalidates the bounding volume, causing to be updated when requested.

pushModelViewProjection()method 
override public function pushModelViewProjection(camera:Camera3D):void

Updates the model-view-projection (MVP) matrix used to transform from model to homogeneous projection space and places it on the stack. The stack allows nested rendering while keeping the MVP intact.

Parameters

camera:Camera3D — The camera which will perform the view transformation and projection.

updateBounds()method 
override protected function updateBounds():void

Updates the bounding volume for the object. Overriding methods need to set invalid flag to false!
