To create a plug-in multipixel filter
- The Plug-in Filter Weight attribute
is connected with the plug-in filter node and its value will be
used as the filter weight. The filter does not have to be normalized.
You can define a plug-in
DG node with at least two input attributes and one output attribute
with a float type. The input attributes require the short name X
and Y. The output attribute has to be connected to the Plug In
Filter Weight attribute in the renderQuality node.
When the plug-in filter
type is selected, the plug-in node is evaluated multiple times with
different x and y weights, ranging in [-1..1]. The plug-in filter
should be defined in the normalized domain [-1..1,-1..1]. The filter width
change only affects the mapping of the normalized filter to the pixel
coverage.
To load a plug-in multipixel filter
- The following assumes you have already
created a multipixel filter plug-in.
- Copy the filter plug-in .so (Linux),
or .mll (Windows), or .lib (Mac OS X) file to:
- Linux: /maya/bin/plug-ins
- Windows: drive:\Program
Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\bin\plug-ins
- Mac OS X: /Applications/Maya2011/Application
Support/plug-ins or to a directory where the Plug-in
Manager can read them
- In Maya, click
Window > Settings/Preferences
> Plug-in Manager.
- Load the plug-in you created.
Connect a plug-in multipixel
filter
To connect a plug-in multipixel filter
to the Plug-In Filter Weight
- In the Script Editor,
create a plug-in node by typing:
createNode
<yourPluginNodeType>
A node is created for
the plug-in.
- Select the plug-in node by typing in
the script editor:
select
<yourPluginNodeType>
- With the plug-in node selected, open
the Connection Editor (Windows
> General Editors > Connection Editor).
- Load the plug-in node to the left side
of the Connection Editor.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 to load the defaultRenderQuality
or user-created renderQuality node to the right side of the Connection
Editor.
- Connect the plug-in node’s weight to
the defaultRenderQuality Plug In Filter Weight attribute.
You can use the multipixel filter plug-in.
