class ImpostorFromSingleViewSettings
Settings for the ImpostorType: ImpostorFromSingleView.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|
| TexCoordPadding | Normally, the processor will generate an impostor with texcoords from 0.0 to 1.0, giving perfect UV coverage in the final texture. If your engine uses permanent tiling rendering mode, you may need to add a small padding to avoid sub-pixel wrapping artifact at the impostor edges, which this setting supplies. Ex: Setting this to 0.01 will generate texcoords in the range 0.01 to 0.99. |
| TightFittingDepthOffset | This determines where the impostor will end up in depth. 0 is "center", 1 is "front" and -1 is "back". |
| TwoSided | If set, the impostor will contain both front and back facing surfaces. |
| UseTightFitting | If set, the impostor will exactly conform to the bounds of the geometry. If false, its dimensions will always be diameter*diameter. |
| ViewDirection | This vector determines how the resulting impostor geometry will be oriented. The billboard will be perpendicular to this vector. |
| ViewDirectionX | The X component of the ViewDirection vector. The ViewDirection determines how the resulting impostor geometry will be oriented. The billboard will be perpendicular to this vector. |
| ViewDirectionY | The Y component of the ViewDirection vector. The ViewDirection determines how the resulting impostor geometry will be oriented. The billboard will be perpendicular to this vector. |
| ViewDirectionZ | The Z component of the ViewDirection vector. The ViewDirection determines how the resulting impostor geometry will be oriented. The billboard will be perpendicular to this vector. |
