class
PipelineSettings
PipelineSettings is the interface used to manage settings for a pipeline
Properties
Property | Description |
CascadedRunMode | Set run mode to use for cascaded child pipelines. |
EmbedReferences | Set flag to control if output file formats that support embedding referenced resources (like textures) should do so. |
IntermediateStep | Set flag to control if this pipeline step is an intermediate step where the processed scene is only used as input to the next cascaded pipeline and not for export or further access. This will discard any processed data once all cascaded pipelines are done, and the scene will be ignored during export. Useful if you want to group two pipelines together for one output, for example an aggregation and a reduction pipeline where you only want the output from the combined aggregation + reduction. |
OutputMaterialName | The name of the output material. If the output material count is greater than one, an index separated with an underscore will be appended to the material names, such that MyMaterial becomes MyMaterial_0, MyMaterial_1 and so on. |
OutputUniqueMaterialNames | Generate unique material names if set to true, by replacing the default scheme of appending a sequential material index to the name with appending a GUID. This will make the material names unique each time the pipeline is run, even on the same input scene. |
SimplygonBatchPath | The path for the batch tool used when executing pipelines in a new/distributed process. This should be the path to the directory where the SimplygonBatch executable is located. If the tool is in the system path this setting should be an empty string. |
TextureOutputPath | The path where the pipeline will save any created textures from material casters. A relative path will be treated as relative to the scene file output path if the pipeline is executed with scene file paths (RunSceneFromFile), or from the current working directory if the pipeline is executed with a scene object (RunScene). The directory must exist, it will not be created. |

Static methods
Method | Description |
IsClassA | Returns true if the class is a or is a descendant of the class named as the type parameter. |
