Description

Backbone data structure of the low-level render node model The fixture defines the boundary between the Session (high-level) realm and the internals of the render engine.

The goal of a Builder run is to build a new Fixture. All relative or indirect referrals are resolved at that point and all time positions or output designations are made explicit. The Fixture defines a Segmentation of every (top-level) timeline, and thus defines those segments which can be rendered with a single wiring configuration. This Segmentation, as defined as part of the Fixture, is also the foundation for memory management within the engine model, since the allocation of render nodes for a given segment happens at once, and segments are obliterated as a whole, when being replaced by a new version as result of a more recent builder run. Ongoing render processes are also tracked per segment, which allows the individual calculation steps just to assume the data is "there".

Todo:

WIP implementation of session core from 2010

as of 2016, this effort is considered stalled but basically valid
