What is the difference between viewer.impl.sceneUpdated() and viewer.impl.invalidate()? I’ve seen them used interchangeably all the time but haven’t been able to figure out why.
In the case of invalidate(), I have seen it used accepting 1 to 3 boolean arguments with every possible combination and it seems to give the same result every time.
viewer.impl.invalidate is basically:
invalidate(needsClear, needsRender, overlayDirty)
//needsClear - full render - not (currently) interruptible, runs until completion, "locks" application, needs to re-render the whole scene from start
//needRender - progressive render - show a bit more each tick, runs unless interrupted by a move, control, etc.
//overlayDirty - overlay (like rollover highlighting etc) needs to be re-rendered
And sceneUpdated(objectsMoved, skipRepaint) is basically
this.invalidate(!skipRepaint, false, !skipRepaint);
Plus the scene bounds are getting remarked for update and the shadows'd get re-rendered.
