# class GeometryDataCasterSettings

GeometryDataCasterSettings is the interface used to manage settings for GeometryDataCaster

# 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)
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)
GeometryDataFieldIndex The GeometryDataFieldIndex setting, which specifies what field index to cast in the GeometryDataCaster, for fields where it is applicable (TexCoords, Tangents, Bitangents and Colors). The setting is ignored for other field types.
GeometryDataFieldType The GeometryDataFieldType setting, which specifies what field type to cast in the GeometryDataCaster.
MappingInf The inferior/minimum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The minimum value will be represented by 0 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingInfA Property the inferior/minimum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The minimum value will be represented by 0 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingInfB The inferior/minimum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The minimum value will be represented by 0 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingInfG The inferior/minimum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The minimum value will be represented by 0 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingInfR The inferior/minimum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The minimum value will be represented by 0 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingLayerIndex The MappingLayerIndex setting, which specifies the layer of the mapping image to use for mapping the geometry data. This is useful eg if you have decals which are on layer 0, and the real geometry on layer 1
MappingSup The Superior/maximum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The maximum value will be represented by 1 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingSupA Property the Superior/maximum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The maximum value will be represented by 1 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingSupB The Superior/maximum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The maximum value will be represented by 1 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingSupG The Superior/maximum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The maximum value will be represented by 1 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
MappingSupR The Superior/maximum value of field values to map onto the image data range (0->1). The maximum value will be represented by 1 in the image. Note that the mapping is only used for real value fields, not id-based fields, which cannot be scaled accurately.
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 GeometryDataCasterSettings object. (Inherited from Object)
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)
UseMultisampling Enable or disable multisampling. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
