v4.0
shader
Locates all the default texture connection points on the
immediate shaders attached to the given objects. Blends the
provided clips with any existing shaders on the located connection
points.
If a source is provided, a clip is automatically created and
connected.
Same as BlendClipsInTextureLayers
except that it also inspects the newly created shaders.
oReturn = BlendClipsInTextureLayersInsp( [ClipList], [InputObjs], [SharedMatAction], [NotifyNoResult], [Mode], [Ambient], [Diffuse], [Transparency], [Reflection] ); |
Returns the layers created as an XSICollection. If Mode = siReplaceNoBlend, the first shader created is returned as a shader rather than a layer.
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ClipList | String | List of clips to connect | ||||||||||
| InputObjs | String | List of objects to search
for default texture connection points
Default Value: Current selection |
||||||||||
| SharedMatAction | Integer | Make shared materials local? Note: If "Beginner user" is used,
the user's choice (0=No or 1=Yes) will be logged in the script
window, rather than "2". When the logged command is replayed, the
command will automatically answer yes or no. If "Advanced user" is
used, it is logged as advanced user, and hence will pop up a dialog
when replayed.
Default Value: 2 (Ask Beginner User)
|
||||||||||
| NotifyNoResult | Boolean | True to notify user if no presets created.
Default Value: False (no notification) |
||||||||||
| Mode | siBlendInTextureLayersModes | Method for blending in the new presets
Default Value: siBlendInTextureLayers (no replacement) |
||||||||||
| Ambient | Boolean | If true, blend in to the ambient port (if present)
Default Value: True (apply to ambient) |
||||||||||
| Diffuse | Boolean | If true, blend in to the diffuse port (if present)
Default Value: True (apply to diffuse) |
||||||||||
| Transparency | Boolean | If true, blend in to the transparency port (if present)
Default Value: false (don't apply to transparency) |
||||||||||
| Reflection | Boolean | If true, blend in to the reflection port (if present)
Default Value: false (don't apply to reflection) |
