# class DisplacementCasterSettings

DisplacementCasterSettings is used to store the settings for a displacement caster

# Properties

Property Description
Dilation The Dilation value. Where applicable, such as colors and normals, the caster will fill empty pixels surrounding filled pixels with values mixed from the filled ones. This setting sets how many pixels to fill outside the original filled pixels. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
DistanceScaling All the delta values are divided by this value before storing them into an image.
DitherType The type of dithering to use when creating the output object. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
FillMode The fill mode determines what to do with the pixels that remain unfilled after both the casting and dilation has been performed. Options are: None = Do not fill remaining pixels Interpolate = linearly interpolate the closest samples NearestNeighbor = use the closest available pixel value without interpolation. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
GenerateScalarDisplacement If set to true, the size of the displacement vector components in the direction of the interpolated normal are stored in the displacement map, instead of the displacement vectors.
GenerateTangentSpaceDisplacement If set, the displacement vectors are transformed into the destination object tangent space.
MaterialChannel The name of the input material channel to cast. Existing user channels of any arbitrary name in the input materials can be cast. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
Name The name of the DisplacementCasterSettings object. (Inherited from Object)
NormalMapTexCoordLevel The texture coordinate level to use for the tangent space displacement vectors.
OpacityChannel The name of the input opacity channel to use for combining layers in most casters and casting opacity in the opacitycaster. User channels of any arbitrary name can be used. If the caster is run through a Pipeline object, the OpacityChannel set here will also be set as the output materials OpacityChannel property. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OpacityChannelComponent The component in the opacity channel to use as opacity value. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputDDSCompressionType DDS compression if output format is DDS. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputImageFileFormat File format for output texture. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputPixelFormat The output pixel format (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputToTessellatedAttributes If set to true, the displacement data will be output directly to tessellated attributes in the scene geometries, rather than to an image. This setting requires that the Scene object is set in the caster.
UseMultisampling Enable or disable multisampling. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
