delete child node

[yueshiwu]

Hi, 

  When i create a plugin instance, it creates two child nodes at the same time .But when i delete the instance from the scene,the child nodes are not deleted. How can i remove child node when the instance is removed? Thank you!

INode->NumberOfChildren();
INode->GetChildNode();

The question is i don't know where to call these functions. Does it have a callback function? 

Or I can override  a function which would be called when i delete a node from the scene panel.

The code can be called everywhere..

Honestly, I can't give you an answer without knowing what exactly you do..

Now i delete the child node in RefDeleted function. This function will be called by system when delete a plugin instance form the scene panel.

This method can solve my problem,but maybe there is a better one.

void SimpleCamera::RefDeleted()
{
if (!m_StereoNodeGroup.StereoNmae.isNull())
{
INode* pNode = GetCOREInterface()->GetINodeByName(m_StereoNodeGroup.StereoNmae);
if (pNode == NULL)
{
GetCOREInterface()->DeleteNode(m_StereoNodeGroup.pCameraNodeL);
GetCOREInterface()->DeleteNode(m_StereoNodeGroup.pCameraNodeR);
.....

}

}
}

ok..

will we soon be able to use the oculos on 3dsmax?

What does 'oculos' mean? My english is poor.

[yueshiwu]

Do you mean 'oculus'?

Ye,We are developping a plugin of stereo camera, it can adjust parallax of any distance easily.

And it's different from the stereo plugin of 3ds max 2014.

Yes, I meant the 'oculus rift'

Many of my clients already asked for entering 3D data in 3dsMax on a "3D-screen" - which does not exist so far (at least I know of). There were already some - but not really useful - 3D camera attempts from others.

My clients want use 3dsMax (by the help of my plugins) in an interactive way and want to clearer see, what they input in 3D.

Your job is very cool and interesting.

So oculus rift use is like a screen. It uses left-eye and right-eye image to realize the 3d effect? 

The clients use mouse to interact with the 3ds max scene? It's too hard to interact just with eyes . It needs to control a 3d camera.

My plugin is designed to control three cameras(left,right,mid) and a stereo parallax model. Clients can adjust the model to make sure the parallax(between nearplane and farplane) is suitable. And then they output the left-eye and right-eye image and combine it together.Without a suitable parallax, the audience may feel swimmy after watching for a short time. And more features will be added later.
