v1.0
Creates and adds a new image source in the Sources container. To execute
this command you must have an image source file on disk. Image sources
are used by ImageClip objects in order to perform image
composting effects, such as texturing.
This command is similar in syntax and behavior to the
SIAddImageClip command, except that it returns a value
from the function directly, instead of through a parameter.
It is accessed from the main menu under Render-
oReturn = AddImageSource( [FileName], [Name] ); |
Returns the new image source (a Source object).
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FileName | String |
Full path of the new image source. Default Value: User is prompted to select a file |
| Name | String | The name to use for the new source. |
