Unigine.FieldShoreline Class
Inherits: | 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.
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
When creating a FieldShoreline object you should specify a shoreline texture for as this object doesn't have any default texture.
// 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");
// release ownership of the FieldShoreline class
shoreline.release();
// add the FieldShoreline to the list of editor nodes
Editor editor = Editor.get();
editor.addNode(shoreline.getNode());
FieldShoreline Class
Members
static FieldShoreline()
Default constructor. Creates a FieldShoreline instance with the default size vec3(512.0f, 512.0f, 512.0f).By default, a shoreline texture is empty. Specify it after creating the FieldShoreline by using an appropriate function.
FieldShoreline cast(Node node)
Casts the FieldShoreline out of the Node instance.Arguments
- Node node - Node class instance
Return value
FieldShoreline class instance.FieldShoreline cast(Field base)
Casts the FieldShoreline out of the Field instance.Arguments
- Field base - Field class instance
Return value
FieldShoreline class instance.void setTexture(Texture texture)
Sets the given texture from the Texture instance for the FieldShoreline.Arguments
- Texture texture - Texture instance.
Texture getTexture()
Returns the shoreline texture (from GPU) and saves it into the given Texture instance.Return value
Shoreline texture.int setTextureImage(Image image)
Sets the given image as the shoreline texture of the FieldShorelineArguments
- 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 setTexturePath(string name)
Sets the path to the FieldShoreline's shoreline texture.Arguments
- string name - Path to the shoreline texture.
Return value
1 if the path to the shoreline texture is set successfully; otherwise, 0.string getTexturePath()
Returns the path to the FieldShoreline's shoreline texture.Return value
Path to the shoreline texture.void setSize(vec3 size)
Sets the vec3 size vector of the FieldShoreline.The default value is (512.0f, 512.0f, 512.0f).
Arguments
- vec3 size - Size vector (x,y,z), where:
- x value is length of the FieldShoreline along X axis (in units),
- y value is length of the FieldShoreline along Y axis (in units),
- z value is length of the FieldShoreline along Z axis (in units).
vec3 getSize()
Returns the vec3 size vector of the FieldShoreline.The default value is (512.0f, 512.0f, 512.0f).
Return value
Size vector (x,y,z), where:- x value is length of the FieldShoreline along X axis (in units),
- y value is length of the FieldShoreline along Y axis (in units),
- z value is length of the FieldShoreline along Z axis (in units).
int createShorelineDistanceField(Image image, int shoreline_radius, int blur_radius, int downsample_resolution)
Creates a shoreline distance field with the specified parameters and put it into the Image file.float shoreline_radius = 64;
int blur_radius = 8;
int downsample_resolution = 128;
Image distance_field = new Image();
field.createShorelineDistanceField(distance_field,shoreline_radius,shoreline_blur,downsample_resolution)
Arguments
- Image image - Image file.
- 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.int type()
Returns the type of the object.Return value
FieldShoreline type identifier.Last update: 2018-08-10
