Attributes (16)

alphaGain, alphaOffset, defaultColor, defaultColorB, defaultColorG, defaultColorR, outAlpha, outU, outUV, outV, uCoord, uvCoord, uvFilterSize, uvFilterSizeX, uvFilterSizeY, vCoord

Long name (short name) Type Default Flags

uvCoord (uv) float2 0.0, 0.0

The UV coords of the current sample point

uCoord (uvu) float 0.0

The u component of the current sample position

vCoord (uvv) float 0.0

The v component of the current sample position

uvFilterSize (uvfs) float2 0.0, 0.0

uvFilterSize is the approximate size of a circular screenspace filter kernel projected into the [0,1] square uv-space of the texture. These values give you an idea of how much filtering is required so that your texture will not alias in your final image.

So if you get values of (1,1.5) coming through the uvFilterSize attribute during shading, it means that the original circular screenspace filter has been projected to a roughly elliptical shape in your texture space, with major/minor axes of lengths 1 and 1.5, respectively. (currently unused by TfluidTexture2D, but provided for texture hookups)

uvFilterSizeX (uvfsx) float 0.0

The X size of the filter (sample)

uvFilterSizeY (uvfsy) float 0.0

The Y size of the filter (sample)

outAlpha (oa) float 0.0

The standard output value for bump and displacement mapping

outUV (ouv) float2 0.0, 0.0

Out UV: This attribute should be connected to the UV Coord attribute of the 2d texture being placed.

outU (ou) float 0.0

The U component of OutUV

outV (ov) float 0.0

The V component of OutUV

alphaGain (ag) float 1.0

Alpha Gain is a multiplier that affects the alpha (mask) channel. If this texture is being used as a bump map or a displacement map, you can adjust Alpha Gain to scale the amount of bumping.

alphaOffset (ao) float 0.0

Alpha Offset is a value that is added to the alpha (mask) channel. This can be used to uniformly increase the effect of the texture.

defaultColor (dcl) float3 0.5, 0.5, 0.5

Default Color is the color of the texture in the areas that are not mapped. If the placement of this texture is not covering an entire surface, then Default Color will be used in the areas not covered.

defaultColorR (dcr) float 0.0

Default Color red value.

defaultColorG (dcg) float 0.0

Default Color green value.

defaultColorB (dcb) float 0.0

Default Color blue value.
