class AmbientOcclusionCasterSettings
AmbientOcclusionCasterSettings manages settings for an ambient occlusion 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) |
| 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) |
| 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 AmbientOcclusionCasterSettings object. (Inherited from Object) |
| OcclusionFalloff | How far away a surface has to be from another surface to generate no occlusion. Only applicable if SimpleOcclusionMode is off. |
| OcclusionMultiplier | This is just a basic intensity scaler. Higher is "darker". |
| 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) |
| RaysPerPixel | This determines how many rays are traced per pixel (or subpixel) to evaluate the occlusion. |
| UseMultisampling | Enable or disable multisampling. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings) |
| UseSimpleOcclusionMode | If set, occlusion will not scale with distance, each ray will only be either fully occluded or not at all. Speeds up processing time. |

Static methods
| 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) |
| SafeCast | SafeCast makes sure the input object is of a class that can be cast into spAmbientOcclusionCasterSettings, and if this is the case, returns the object cast into spAmbientOcclusionCasterSettings. (Inherited from Object) |
