IDirect3DRMVisual

IDirect3DRMVisual does not provide any Microsoft® Direct3D® Retained Mode methods, but the interfaces for the visual objects derive from the IDirect3DRMVisual interface. For a complete interface hierarchy, see the Interface Hierarchy Chart.

Visuals are objects that can be rendered in a scene. Visuals are visible only when they are added to a frame in that scene. An application can add a visual to a frame by using the IDirect3DRMFrame3::AddVisual method. The frame provides the visual with position and orientation for rendering.

The following interfaces derive from IDirect3DRMVisual.

• IDirect3DRMFrame3
• IDirect3DRMMesh
• IDirect3DRMMeshBuilder3
• IDirect3DRMProgressiveMesh
• IDirect3DRMShadow2
• IDirect3DRMTexture3
• IDirect3DRMUserVisual

The IDirect3DRMVisual interface, like all Component Object Model (COM) interfaces, inherits the IUnknown interface methods. The IUnknown interface supports the following three methods:

AddRef

QueryInterface
