Public Member Functions
void	Initialize (ID3D11Device *device, ID3D11DeviceContext *context)
	Initializes the AssetManager with the Direct3D device and context. These are required for creating GPU resources (buffers, textures, etc.).
template<typename T>
std::shared_ptr< T >	Load (const std::string &path)
	Loads an asset of type T from the specified path. If the asset is already loaded, returns the cached version.
std::shared_ptr< Material >	LoadMaterialForMesh (const std::string &meshPath)
	Loads the material associated with a specific mesh. Typically used when meshes reference material files.
void	Reload (const std::string &path)
	Reloads an asset from disk. Useful for hot-reloading during development.
void	UnloadAll ()
	Unloads all currently loaded assets and frees associated resources.

Member Function Documentation

Get()

AssetManager & AssetManager::Get ( )

static

Returns the singleton instance of the AssetManager.

Returns

Reference to the AssetManager instance

GetMeshes()

const std::unordered_map< std::string, std::shared_ptr< MeshAsset > > & AssetManager::GetMeshes ( ) const

inline

Returns the map of all loaded meshes.

Returns

Reference to the mesh asset map

GetTextures()

const std::unordered_map< std::string, std::shared_ptr< TextureAsset > > & AssetManager::GetTextures ( ) const

inline

Returns the map of all loaded textures.

Returns

Reference to the texture asset map

Initialize()

void AssetManager::Initialize	(	ID3D11Device *	device,
		ID3D11DeviceContext *	context )

Initializes the AssetManager with the Direct3D device and context. These are required for creating GPU resources (buffers, textures, etc.).

Parameters

device	D3D11 device used to create GPU resources
context	D3D11 device context used for rendering

Load()

template<typename T>

std::shared_ptr< T > AssetManager::Load ( const std::string & path )

inline

Loads an asset of type T from the specified path. If the asset is already loaded, returns the cached version.

Template Parameters

T	Asset type (MeshAsset or TextureAsset)

Parameters

path	File path of the asset

Returns

Shared pointer to the loaded asset

LoadMaterialForMesh()

std::shared_ptr< Material > AssetManager::LoadMaterialForMesh

(

const std::string &

meshPath

)

Loads the material associated with a specific mesh. Typically used when meshes reference material files.

Parameters

meshPath

Path of the mesh

Returns

Shared pointer to the material

operator=()

AssetManager & AssetManager::operator= ( const AssetManager & )

delete

Disable assignment operator.

Reload()

void AssetManager::Reload

(

const std::string &

path

)

Reloads an asset from disk. Useful for hot-reloading during development.

Parameters

path	Path of the asset to reload

UnloadAll()

void AssetManager::UnloadAll

(

)

Unloads all currently loaded assets and frees associated resources.
