v4.0
shader
Adds a new texture layer on the input objects provided, and creates and connects a clip with the provided image file. See AddTextureLayer for more details about layers.
oReturn = AddImageTextureLayer( FileName, [InputObjs], [Name], [After], [Reference] ); |
Returns the new TextureLayer object, if one was created.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FileName | String | File name |
| InputObjs | String | List of containers (shaders
or materials) to which to add the texture layer. Note that all
containers must currently be contained in a single render tree.
Default Value: Current selection. |
| Name | String | Name to use for the new layer. If an existing layer is being passed in, then this argument is ignored. |
| After | Boolean | True to insert the new texture layer after the reference layer.
False to insert it before. If no reference layer, then True will
add at the end of the container's list, False will add it at the
start.
Default Value: True |
| Reference | String or object | Reference texture layer, to indicate where the newly-added layer should be located in the stack. The layer will be inserted adjacent to (before or after) the reference layer. If not specified, then the new layer will be added at the beginning or the end, depending on the value of the "After" argument. |
