 MiscellaneousMiscellaneous scene graph elements, for example, textures, light profiles, BSDF measurements, or decals
 MDL-related elementsMDL-related elements comprise a set of interfaces related to the Material Definition Language (MDL)
 MDL type systemThe MDL type system mainly consists of four sets of interfaces:
 Versioning of the MDL SDK APIThe MDL SDK API has a major and minor version number and an optional qualifier
 Math APIMath-related functions and classes, for example, vectors and matrices
 Math API AssertionsAssertions
 Bounding Box ClassAn axis-aligned N-dimensional bounding box class template of fixed dimension with supporting functions
 Color ClassStandard RGBA color class with floating point elements and operations
 Math FunctionsThe math API provides functions and function templates that act on simple types or generic container and vector concepts
 Basic Math Functors in the Math APIBasic math functors in the Math API
 Generic Functions in the Math APIGeneric functions in the Math API targeted to static vector-like sequences
 Fast Approximations for float Math FunctionsFast approximations for math functions on limited precision floats
 Basic Math Functors in the Math APIBasic math functors in the Math API
 Generic Functions in the Math APIGeneric functions in the Math API targeted to static vector-like sequences
 Matrix ClassA NxM-dimensional matrix class template of fixed dimensions with supporting functions
 Internal Storage Classes for MatricesStorage class for matrix templates with support for xx, xy, xz, etc., members for appropriate dimensions
 Spectrum ClassSpectrum class with floating point elements and operations
 Math Vector ClassMath vector class template of fixed dimension with generic operations
 Internal Storage Class for Math VectorStorage class for math vectors with support for x, y, z, and w members for appropriate dimensions
 Versioning of the Math APIThe Math API has a major and minor version number and an optional qualifier
 Base APIBasic types, configuration, and assertion support
 Base API AssertionsAssertions and static assertions
 Configuration of the Base APIConfiguration macros for platform, compiler, etc
 Memory ManagementThe memory management provides an interface for allocators including a default implementation
 Interface Framework TechnologyThe classes provided here support conventional modern C++ library design principles for component software to achieve binary compatibility across shared library boundaries and future extensibility
 LoggingLogger interface and severity levels
 Multithreading SupportPrimitives useful for multithreaded applications, for example, atomic counters, condition variables, and locks
 Plugin SupportSupport for dynamically loaded plugins
 Basic TypesPlatform-independent types
 Specializations for numeric_traitsThe number traits class is specialized for number types defined in this API, such as mi::Uint32 and mi::Float64
 Versioning of the Base APIThe Base API has a major and minor version number and an optional qualifier
