# class ImpostorFromSingleViewSettings

Settings for the ImpostorType: ImpostorFromSingleView.

# Properties

Property Description
Name The name of the ImpostorFromSingleViewSettings object. (Inherited from Object)
TexCoordPadding Normally, the processor will generate an impostor with texcoords from 0.0 to 1.0, giving perfect UV coverage in the final texture. If your engine uses permanent tiling rendering mode, you may need to add a small padding to avoid sub-pixel wrapping artifact at the impostor edges, which this setting supplies. Ex: Setting this to 0.01 will generate texcoords in the range 0.01 to 0.99.
TightFittingDepthOffset This determines where the impostor will end up in depth. 0 is "center", 1 is "front" and -1 is "back".
TwoSided If set, the impostor will contain both front and back facing surfaces.
UseTightFitting If set, the impostor will exactly conform to the bounds of the geometry. If false, its dimensions will always be diameter*diameter.
ViewDirection This vector determines how the resulting impostor geometry will be oriented. The billboard will be perpendicular to this vector.
ViewDirectionX The X component of the ViewDirection vector. The ViewDirection determines how the resulting impostor geometry will be oriented. The billboard will be perpendicular to this vector.
ViewDirectionY The Y component of the ViewDirection vector. The ViewDirection determines how the resulting impostor geometry will be oriented. The billboard will be perpendicular to this vector.
ViewDirectionZ The Z component of the ViewDirection vector. The ViewDirection determines how the resulting impostor geometry will be oriented. The billboard will be perpendicular to this vector.

Method Description
IsClassA Returns true if the class is a or is a descendant of the class named as the type parameter. (Inherited from Object)
