Detailed Description

Base class for all assets in the engine. Defines the interface for loading, unloading, creating GPU resources, and binding the asset to the graphics pipeline.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~Asset()

virtual Asset::~Asset ( )

virtualdefault

Virtual destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Bind()

virtual void Asset::Bind ( ID3D11DeviceContext * context ) const

inlinevirtual

Binds the asset to the graphics pipeline if applicable (for example, textures or meshes).

Parameters

context Device context used for rendering

Reimplemented in MeshAsset, and TextureAsset.

◆ CreateBuffers()

virtual void Asset::CreateBuffers ( ID3D11Device * device )

inlinevirtual

Creates GPU resources for the asset (e.g., vertex/index buffers, textures). Can be overridden if the asset needs GPU-side resources.

Parameters

device D3D11 device used to create GPU resources

Reimplemented in MeshAsset, and TextureAsset.

◆ Load()

virtual void Asset::Load ( )

pure virtual

Loads the asset data into CPU memory. Must be implemented by derived asset classes.

Implemented in MeshAsset, and TextureAsset.

◆ Unload()

virtual void Asset::Unload ( )

pure virtual

Frees CPU and GPU resources if applicable. Must be implemented by derived asset classes.

Implemented in MeshAsset, and TextureAsset.

Member Data Documentation

◆ id

AssetID Asset::id

Unique identifier of the asset.

◆ path

std::string Asset::path

File path of the source asset.
