The GetRenderTarget method in the CommandList class is used to retrieve a render target handle. This method allows you to specify the name, format, number of mip levels, and size factor for the render target you wish to obtain. It is a crucial part of the rendering pipeline, enabling the creation and management of render targets for various rendering tasks.
To use the GetRenderTarget method, you need to provide the following parameters:
name (System.String): The name of the render target. This is used to identify the render target within the rendering system.format (Sandbox.ImageFormat): The format of the render target. This determines how the data is stored and processed.numMips (System.Int32): The number of mip levels for the render target. Mipmaps are used to improve rendering performance and quality.sizeFactor (System.Int32): A factor that influences the size of the render target. This can be used to scale the render target size relative to the viewport or other dimensions.The method returns a RenderTargetHandle, which can be used to reference the render target in subsequent rendering operations.
// Example of using GetRenderTarget
var commandList = new CommandList();
var renderTargetHandle = commandList.GetRenderTarget(
"MyRenderTarget",
ImageFormat.RGBA8,
1,
1
);
// Use the renderTargetHandle for rendering operations
