class CameraCoverageSettings ​

The CameraCoverageSettings settings object for the CameraCoverage tool.

Properties ​

PropertyDescription
EnableBackfaceFilteringIf enabled, render the scene from each candidate camera and omit views whose exposed back-face ratio exceeds MaxBackfaceRatio. Views with no subject pixels are also omitted. Requires Vulkan. Disabled by default to generate camera layouts without rendering.
MaxBackfaceRatioMaximum accepted ratio of exposed back-face pixels to subject-covered pixels. Used when EnableBackfaceFiltering is enabled. The default 0.01 allows one percent; equality is accepted.
NameThe name of the CameraCoverageSettings object. (Inherited from Object)
OutputImageSizeXWidth in pixels of each rendered image. Used to drive pixel-density math.
OutputImageSizeYHeight in pixels of each rendered image. Used to drive pixel-density math.
PixelsPerWorldUnitsRequested pixel density in the captured images, in pixels per world unit. Higher values request finer coverage and may push more cameras.
PlacementStrategySelects how the tool distributes its output cameras around the scene.

Properties details ​

EnableBackfaceFiltering ​

If enabled, render the scene from each candidate camera and omit views whose exposed back-face ratio exceeds MaxBackfaceRatio. Views with no subject pixels are also omitted. Requires Vulkan. Disabled by default to generate camera layouts without rendering.

MaxBackfaceRatio ​

Maximum accepted ratio of exposed back-face pixels to subject-covered pixels. Used when EnableBackfaceFiltering is enabled. The default 0.01 allows one percent; equality is accepted.

Name ​

The name of the CameraCoverageSettings object. (Inherited from Object)

OutputImageSizeX ​

Width in pixels of each rendered image. Used to drive pixel-density math.

OutputImageSizeY ​

Height in pixels of each rendered image. Used to drive pixel-density math.

PixelsPerWorldUnits ​

Requested pixel density in the captured images, in pixels per world unit. Higher values request finer coverage and may push more cameras.

PlacementStrategy ​

Selects how the tool distributes its output cameras around the scene.
