class NormalCaster
NormalCaster is the interface used to cast normals data onto the receiving geometry.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|
| DestMaterialId | The DestMaterialId object. If set, only the parts of the destination map that. To disable, set to -1. |
| MappingImage | The MappingImage object. The MappingImage object contains the mapping between the Geometry and SourceGeometry objects. |
| OutputFilePath | The OutputFilePath file path, where the output image will be placed. Note that the extension will be appended the file path if it differs from the OutputImageFileFormat set in the caster settings object. Either OutputImage or OutputFilePath must be set. If OutputImage is set, then OutputFilePath is ignored. |
| OutputImage | The OutputImage object that will receive the image. The current contents of the image will be removed, and the image will be written to the Colors field of the ImageData object. Either OutputImage or OutputFilePath must be set. If OutputImage is set, then OutputFilePath is ignored. |
| SourceMaterials | The SourceMaterials object. The SourceMaterials object contains all materials of the the source geometry. The source geometry must have a "MaterialIds" field that indices the material table. |
| SourceTextures | The SourceTextures object. The SourceTextures object contains all textures of the the source geometry. |
Methods

| GetMaterialCasterSettings | The settings object. |
| GetNormalCasterSettings | The normal caster settings object. |
| GetPercentDone | Returns the current progress of the processing as a value between 0 and 100. |
