IG 编辑器插件

To set up a custom weather region, do the following:要设置自定义天气区域，请执行以下操作：

1. Go to Tools->Image Generator Plugin->Meteo.转到 Tools->Image Generator Plugin->Meteo。
2. Click Add Region and then press the Edit Region button to start editing the newly created region in the world. 单击 Add Region，然后按 Edit Region 按钮开始编辑新创建的世界区域。
3. Select and use handle nodes in the world to specify the region shape (you can add a cloud layer to see the region boundaries more clearly).

     For the polygon shape type the handles can be moved, reordered, added, and deleted. This way you can make a region of any custom shape you require.For the polygon shape type the handles can be moved, reordered, added, and deleted.

The following buttons are provided to setup a region:提供以下按钮来设置区域：

• Add Region — adds a region.Add Region - 添加一个区域
• Remove Region — removes the selected region.Remove Region - 移除选定区域
• Edit Region — enables edit mode for the selected region.Edit Region - 为选定区域启用编辑模式

You can save the region via the Save Region Mask button as a texture on a disk, so later it can be used as a Clouds Region Mask value for a defined layer type of various clouds materials.您可以通过 Save Region Mask 按钮将区域保存为磁盘上的纹理，以便稍后将其用作 defined 图层类型的各种云材质的 Clouds Region Mask 值。

Meteo Presets store the data about regions with layers and their parameters to a file of special format (*.igmeteo). The IG:Meteo window allows you to use presets the following ways:Meteo Presets 将有关具有图层的区域及其参数的数据存储到特殊格式 (*.igmeteo) 的文件中。 IG:Meteo 窗口允许您通过以下方式使用预设：

• Save — saves the region on a disk as a meteo preset.Save - 将区域保存在磁盘上作为气象预设
• Load — loads the meteo preset from a disk.Load - 从磁盘加载气象预设

• Base Layer — base layer without any visual representation. Contains only parameters (visibility distance, temperature, humidity, etc.).Base Layer - 没有任何视觉表示的基础层。仅包含参数（可见距离、温度、湿度等）。
• Cloud Layer — layer that describes the clouds.Cloud Layer - 描述云层
• Precipitation Layer — layer that describes the precipitation (rains or snow).Precipitation Layer - 描述降水的层（雨或雪）

To add a new layer to a region, do the following:要将新图层添加到区域，请执行以下操作：

1. Select the region in the left Regions list and click the required Add Layer button. 在左侧 Regions 列表中选择区域，然后单击所需的 Add Layer 按钮。
2. Increase the Coverage parameter to make the layer affect the weather.增加 Coverage 参数，使图层影响天气。
3. Set the Elevation and Thickness parameters to adjust the layer's height and size (in meters).
   
   You can use the scroll manipulator to set the elevation and thickness parameters visually (changes will be reflected in the viewport). 设置 Elevation 和 Thickness 参数来调整图层的高度和大小（以米为单位）。
   
   您可以使用滚动操纵器直观地设置高程和厚度参数（更改将反映在视口中）。
4. Depending on the type of the layer (base, cloud, precipitation), you must specify its properties.根据图层的类型（基础、云、降水），您必须指定其属性。
5. In order to see the cloud/precipitation node in the world, click the Show Node button.要查看世界中的云/降水节点，请单击 Show Node 按钮。
6. If you want to delete the added layer, select it and click the Remove Layer button.如果要删除添加的图层，请选择它并单击 Remove Layer 按钮。

Specifies the type of cloud for the given layer. Can be one of the types specified for this project via the Cloud Types window.指定给定层的云类型。可以是为此项目指定的类型之一Cloud Types窗户。

Upon selection of a cloud type the recommended parameters are automatically set for this type of clouds.选择云类型后，会自动为此类云设置推荐参数。

Setting Up Clouds设置云#

Specifies the type of precipitation:指定降水类型：

• -1: None — no precipitation is set for this layer-1：None - 没有为此层设置降水
• 1: Rain — raindrops1: Rain - 雨滴
• 2: Snow — snowflakes2: Snow - 雪花

Setting Up Precipitations设置降水#

To adjust the lightning appearance for the corresponding layer, select it in the Layers list and specify the required frequency of lighting spawn.要调整相应层的光照外观，请在 Layers 列表中选择它并指定所需的光照生成频率。

The maximum frequency that can be set via the IG Editor Plugin is once per second.可以通过 IG Editor Plugin 设置的最大频率是每秒一次。

Specifies wind properties for this layer by setting the direction and force of the wind.通过设置风的方向和力量来指定该层的风属性。

• Direction — wind direction inside the layerDirection - 层内的风向
• Wind Force — force of the wind for the layerWind Force - 层的风力
