BindViewToGeometry

Since: IVPrismaUI5

virtual bool BindViewToGeometry(
    PrismaView view,
    void* rootObject,
    const char* geometryName
) noexcept = 0;

On-mesh rendering: binds this view's live texture onto a named piece of geometry's diffuse texture slot, so the view's pixels appear on that 3D surface and ride its UVs as it animates.

Parameters​

  • view - Target view handle. Call SetViewOffscreen(view, true) on it first, so it renders without also appearing as a 2D overlay.
  • rootObject - An RE::NiAVObject* (e.g. player->Get3D(true)) passed as void* so this header does not need to pull in CommonLib types.
  • geometryName - The BSGeometry node name to find under that root, e.g. "Screen:0" for a Pip-Boy-style screen.

Returns​

true on success. The geometry's original texture is cached internally so UnbindViewFromGeometry can restore it later.

Call timing​

Call this after the target geometry exists in the scenegraph (for example, after the relevant menu/object has actually opened), and re-bind each time it does - the underlying model can be rebuilt between sessions, which invalidates a previous binding.

BindViewToScreenTexture - binds by diffuse-texture name instead of node name, useful when you want to target a class of objects (e.g. "any Pip-Boy model") rather than one specific node name. UnbindViewFromGeometry, SetViewOffscreen, SetViewOffscreenBackground (V9).
