class VertexColorCasterSettings

VertexColorCasterSettings is the interface for basic vertex color caster settings.

Properties

PropertyDescription
ColorSpaceEdgeThresholdThe color space edge threshold, which will define how many hard color borders there will be. Corners more similar than the threshold will be merged. This works similarly to HardEdgeAngle for normals; lower values leads more hard borders between neighboring corner colors, and higher values will give you more shared, smoother, colors. This also impacts data usage when using packed geometry since (more unique colors) == (more vertices). The distance is measured in RGBA space.
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 VertexColorCasterSettings 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)
OutputColorLevelThe OutputColorLevel index.
OutputColorNameThe OutputColorName string .
OutputDDSCompressionTypeDDS compression if output format is DDS. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputImageFileFormatFile format for output texture. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
OutputPixelFormatThe output pixel format (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)
UseMultisamplingEnable or disable multisampling. (Inherited from MaterialCasterSettings)

Properties details

ColorSpaceEdgeThreshold

The color space edge threshold, which will define how many hard color borders there will be. Corners more similar than the threshold will be merged. This works similarly to HardEdgeAngle for normals; lower values leads more hard borders between neighboring corner colors, and higher values will give you more shared, smoother, colors. This also impacts data usage when using packed geometry since (more unique colors) == (more vertices). The distance is measured in RGBA space.

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 VertexColorCasterSettings 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.
