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 used by GPU for FieldShoreline.

string TexturePath#

The path to the FieldShoreline's texture.

vec3 Size#

The vec3 size vector of FieldShoreline.

Event EventProgress#

The event triggered when shoreline is baked (BakeWaterLevel is called). This event is called for each baking iteration, and the value from 0 to 1 (where 1 equals to 100%) is passed to the event. You can subscribe to events via Connect()  and unsubscribe via Disconnect(). You can also use EventConnection  and EventConnections  classes for convenience (see examples below).
Notice
For more details see the Event Handling article.
The event handler signature is as follows: myhandler()

Usage Example

Source code (C#)
// implement the Progress event handler
void progress_event_handler()
{
	Log.Message("\Handling Progress event\n");
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//  1. Multiple subscriptions can be linked to an EventConnections instance
//  class that you can use later to remove all these subscriptions at once
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// create an instance of the EventConnections class
EventConnections progress_event_connections = new EventConnections();


// link to this instance when subscribing to an event (subscription to various events can be linked)
publisher.EventProgress.Connect(progress_event_connections, progress_event_handler);

// other subscriptions are also linked to this EventConnections instance 
// (e.g. you can subscribe using lambdas)
publisher.EventProgress.Connect(progress_event_connections, () => { 
		Log.Message("Handling Progress event lambda\n");
		}
	);

// later all of these linked subscriptions can be removed with a single line
progress_event_connections.DisconnectAll();

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//  2. You can subscribe and unsubscribe via the handler function directly
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// subscribe to the Progress event with a handler function
publisher.EventProgress.Connect(progress_event_handler);


// remove subscription to the Progress event later by the handler function
publisher.EventProgress.Disconnect(progress_event_handler);


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//   3. Subscribe to an event and unsubscribe later via an EventConnection instance
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// define a connection to be used to unsubscribe later
EventConnection progress_event_connection;

// subscribe to the Progress event with a lambda handler function and keeping the connection
progress_event_connection = publisher.EventProgress.Connect(() => { 
		Log.Message("Handling Progress event lambda\n");
	}
);

// ...

// you can temporarily disable a particular event connection 
progress_event_connection.Enabled = false;

// ... perform certain actions

// and enable it back when necessary
progress_event_connection.Enabled = true;

// ...

// remove the subscription later using the saved connection
progress_event_connection.Disconnect();

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//   4. Ignoring Progress events when necessary
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// you can temporarily disable the event to perform certain actions without triggering it
publisher.EventProgress.Enabled = false;

// ... actions to be performed

// and enable it back when necessary
publisher.EventProgress.Enabled = true;

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 ( Texture texture, 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;
Texture distance_field = new Texture();
field.createShorelineDistanceField(distance_field,shoreline_radius,blur_radius,downsample_resolution);

Arguments

  • Texture texture - Texture 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.
