class ColorCasterSettings

ColorCasterSettings is the interface for basic color caster settings.

Properties

PropertyDescription
BakeOpacityInAlphaIf set, the total opacity of the baked layers replaces the alpha value in the output texture.
DilationThe 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)
DitherTypeThe type of dithering to use when creating the output object. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
FillModeThe fill mode determines what to do with the pixels that remain unfilled after both the casting and dilation has been performed. Options are: NoFill = Do not fill remaining pixels Interpolate = linearly interpolate the closest samples NearestNeighbor = use the closest available pixel value without interpolation. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
MaterialChannelThe 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)
NameThe name of the ColorCasterSettings object. (Inherited from Object)
OpacityChannelThe 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)
OpacityChannelComponentThe component in the opacity channel to use as opacity value. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputDDSCompressionTypeDDS compression if output format is DDS. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputImageFileFormatFile format for output texture. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputOpacityTypeThe opacity type determines how the opacity channel of this material should be saved. To make (0.0->1.0) map to (transparent-opaque), use 'Opacity'. To make (0.0->1.0) map to (opaque-transparent), use 'Transparency'
OutputPixelFormatThe output pixel format (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputSRGBIf set, output textures are exported in sRGB format. Input texture format is determined by the flag in the corresponding texture node in the material definition.
SkipCastingIfNoInputChannelIf this flag is set, the caster will only run if there is at least one input material that has the main input channel which is to be cast. If the flag is not set, the caster will always produce an output, even if it is totally empty/unset.
UseMultisamplingEnable or disable multisampling. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)

Properties details

BakeOpacityInAlpha

If set, the total opacity of the baked layers replaces the alpha value in the output texture.

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.

DitherType

The type of dithering to use when creating the output object.

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: NoFill = Do not fill remaining pixels Interpolate = linearly interpolate the closest samples NearestNeighbor = use the closest available pixel value without interpolation.

MaterialChannel

The name of the input material channel to cast. Existing user channels of any arbitrary name in the input materials can be cast.

Name

The name of the ColorCasterSettings 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.

OpacityChannelComponent

The component in the opacity channel to use as opacity value.

OutputDDSCompressionType

DDS compression if output format is DDS.

OutputImageFileFormat

File format for output texture.

OutputOpacityType

The opacity type determines how the opacity channel of this material should be saved. To make (0.0->1.0) map to (transparent-opaque), use 'Opacity'. To make (0.0->1.0) map to (opaque-transparent), use 'Transparency'

OutputPixelFormat

The output pixel format

OutputSRGB

If set, output textures are exported in sRGB format. Input texture format is determined by the flag in the corresponding texture node in the material definition.

SkipCastingIfNoInputChannel

If this flag is set, the caster will only run if there is at least one input material that has the main input channel which is to be cast. If the flag is not set, the caster will always produce an output, even if it is totally empty/unset.

UseMultisampling

Enable or disable multisampling.
