Unigine.FieldShoreline Class

Inherits from: Field

This class is used to create and modify a field shoreline. The field is applied to global water and helps to create swashes near the shores and applies the wetness effect on objects near the shoreline.

Notice
A field shoreline object will affect water only if the FieldShoreline interaction option is enabled on the States tab of the water_global_base material.

Creating a Shoreline Field

Notice
When creating a FieldShoreline object you should specify a shoreline texture for as this object doesn't have any default texture.
Source code (C#)
// create a new instance of the FieldShoreline class and set its transformation
FieldShoreline shoreline = new FieldShoreline();
shoreline.setTransform(Mat4(1));
// set the size of the field 
shoreline.setSize(vec3(4096.0f, 4096.0f, 512.0f));
// set the path to the shoreline texture
shoreline.setTexturePath("unigine_project/textures/shorelines/shoreline_0.dds");

FieldShoreline Class

Properties

Texture Texture#

The shoreline texture (from gpu) and saves it into the given texture instance.

string TexturePath#

The path to the fieldshoreline's shoreline texture.

vec3 Size#

The vec3 size vector of the fieldshoreline.

The default value is (512.0f, 512.0f, 512.0f).

Members


FieldShoreline ( ) #

Default constructor. Creates a FieldShoreline instance with the default size vec3(512.0f, 512.0f, 512.0f).
Notice
By default, a shoreline texture is empty. Specify it after creating the FieldShoreline by using an appropriate function.

int BakeWaterLevel ( Image image ) #

Bakes shoreline for the current water level of the global water object and puts it to the specified image. This method generates a shoreline texture by finding intersections of the Global Water object with terrains (Landscape Terrain and Terrain Global)

Arguments

  • Image image - Image instance to which the shoreline for the current water level is to be baked.

Return value

1 if the shoreline is baked successfully; otherwise, 0.

int SetTextureImage ( Image image ) #

Sets the given image as the shoreline texture of the FieldShoreline.

Arguments

  • Image image - Image instance with a shoreline texture for the FieldShoreline.

int GetTextureImage ( Image image ) #

Grabs the texture for the FieldShoreline (already loaded to GPU) and saves it into the given Image instance.

Arguments

  • Image image - Image instance into which the texture will be saved.

Return value

1 if the texture has been grabbed successfully; otherwise, 0.

int CreateShorelineDistanceField ( Image image, int shoreline_radius, int blur_radius, int downsample_resolution ) #

Creates a shoreline distance field with the specified parameters and puts it to the specified Image.
Source code
float shoreline_radius = 64;
int blur_radius = 8;
int downsample_resolution = 128;
Image distance_field = new Image();
field.createShorelineDistanceField(distance_field,shoreline_radius,blur_radius,downsample_resolution);

Arguments

  • Image image - Image to which the shoreline distance field will be put.
  • int shoreline_radius - Radius of the shoreline.
  • int blur_radius - Radius of the blurred area.
  • int downsample_resolution - Shoreline resolution.

Return value

1 if the field was created successfully; otherwise, 0.

static int type ( ) #

Returns the type of the object.

Return value

FieldShoreline type identifier.
