VertexWeightSettings
This settings object contains all settings related to how the user-set weighting field "VertexWeights" is setup and used in different contexts. The values in the field can be considered an "importance" factor. Generally, weights set to 1.0 are handled normally, values >1.0 are given greater importance, and values <1.0 are given less. These weights can either be manually set in the input geometry data or converted from vertex color sets using the WeightsFromColor settings. See the documentation of the WeightsFromColorMode property to see the details of how color intensity is mapped to vertex weight. Vertex weights can be used to reduce more or less aggressively on different parts of the mesh, or used to scale UV allocation in the parameterizers to give more or less texture area to different areas.
Properties
Property | Description |
---|---|
Name | The name of the VertexWeightSettings object. (Inherited from Object) |
UseVertexWeightsInReducer | If set, and using the ReductionProcessor or QuadReductionProcessor, the reduction will be weighted based on the weights in the "VertexWeights" vertex field. |
UseVertexWeightsInTexcoordGenerator | If set, and generating new texcoords using either the parameterizeror the chart aggregator, the relative sizes of the output charts will be scaled using the weights in the "VertexWeights" vertex field. |
WeightsFromColorComponent | If converting vertex colors to weights, this setting controls which color component is used to create the weights. |
WeightsFromColorLevel | If the index of an existing vertex color field in the input geometry is set here, the existing VertexWeights field will be overwritten by a set created by converting the selected color field according to the other WeightsFromColor settings in this settings object. If both this and the corresponding ColorName is set, the processors will prioritize the name. |
WeightsFromColorMode | If converting vertex colors to weights, this setting along with WeightsFromColorMultiplier controls how to map the RGBA intensity between 0-1 to weights. Standard mode maps color intensity [0-1] to vertex weight [1/Multiplier - Multiplier]. High mode maps color intensity [0-1] to vertex weight [1 - Multiplier]. Low mode maps color intensity [0-1] to vertex weight [1/Multiplier - 1]. |
WeightsFromColorMultiplier | If converting vertex colors to weights, this setting controls the max and min resulting vertex weights generated by the input color. |
WeightsFromColorName | If the name of an existing vertex color field in the input geometry is set here, the existing VertexWeights field will be overwritten by a set created by converting the selected color field according to the other WeightsFromColor settings in this settings object. If both ColorName and the corresponding ColorLevel is set, the processors will prioritize the name. |
