Returns the depth texture baked for the light source. This texture is available for Static light sources only.Static lights with mixed shadow mode enabled use a mixture of dynamic and baked depth textures.
Return value
Baked depth texture for the light source.void setShadowFilterMode ( Light::SHADOW_FILTER mode ) #
Sets the filtering mode to be used to reduce the stair-step effect for soft shadows making the edges smoother.Arguments
- Light::SHADOW_FILTER mode - Filtering mode to be used for shadows rendering, one of the SHADOW_FILTER_* variables.
Light::SHADOW_FILTER getShadowFilterMode ( ) const#
Returns the current filtering mode used to reduce the stair-step effect for soft shadows making the edges smoother.Return value
Current filtering mode used, one of SHADOW_FILTER_* values.void setShadowFilter ( float filter ) #
Sets filtering intensity for the selected mode.This value is ignored when filtering mode is set to disabled.
Arguments
- float filter - Filtering intensity for the selected mode. The higher the value the less noticeable the stair-step effect at the edges of shadows will be. The default value is 1.0f.
float getShadowFilter ( ) const#
Returns the current filtering intensity for the selected mode.Return value
Filtering intensity for the selected mode. The higher the value the less noticeable the stair-step effect at the edges of shadows will be. The default value is 1.0f.void setShadowPenumbraMode ( Light::SHADOW_PENUMBRA mode ) #
Sets the global quality mode to be used for rendering penumbra from the light source. This mode enables simulation of real-world shadows by keeping sharp contact shadows closer to the base and softening the farther the shadow stretches away. Higher values produce softer shadows. The default value is SHADOW_PENUMBRA_GLOBAL.Arguments
- Light::SHADOW_PENUMBRA mode - Quality mode used for penumbra rendering, one of the SHADOW_PENUMBRA_* variables.
Light::SHADOW_PENUMBRA getShadowPenumbraMode ( ) const#
Returns the current global quality mode used for rendering penumbra from the light source. This mode enables simulation of real-world shadows by keeping sharp contact shadows closer to the base and softening the farther the shadow stretches away. Higher values produce softer shadows. The default value is SHADOW_PENUMBRA_GLOBAL.Return value
Current quality mode used for penumbra rendering, one of the SHADOW_PENUMBRA_* variables.void setShadowPenumbra ( float penumbra ) #
Sets intensity of penumbra for the selected mode.This value is ignored when penumbra rendering mode is set to disabled.
Arguments
- float penumbra - Intensity of penumbra for the selected mode:
- Low values correspond to sharper shadow edges.
- Higher values increase penumbra size.
float getShadowPenumbra ( ) const#
Returns the current intensity of penumbra for the selected mode.Return value
Current intensity of penumbra for the selected mode:- Low values correspond to sharper shadow edges.
- Higher values increase penumbra size.
void setShadowScreenSpaceStepSizeFarDistance ( float distance ) #
Sets the distance from the camera after which the Far Step Size shall be used for screen-space shadows calculation. You can set different Step Size and Threshold values for objects located near the camera and far away from it. Thus, full-scale shadows will be rendered for large objects located far away, while within the close distance range only shadows cast by small objects will be rendered. This feature is especially useful for locations where details are required for both short and long-distance ranges.Arguments
- float distance - Distance from the camera (in units) after which the Far Step Size shall be used for screen-space shadows calculation. For the space between Near Step Size Distance and Far Step Size Distance, the step size value is interpolated from Near Step Size to Far Step Size.
float getShadowScreenSpaceStepSizeFarDistance ( ) const#
Returns the current distance from the camera after which the Far Step Size is used for screen-space shadows calculation. You can set different Step Size and Threshold values for objects located near the camera and far away from it. Thus, full-scale shadows will be rendered for large objects located far away, while within the close distance range only shadows cast by small objects will be rendered. This feature is especially useful for locations where details are required for both short and long-distance ranges.Return value
Distance from the camera (in units) after which the Far Step Size shall be used for screen-space shadows calculation. For the space between Near Step Size Distance and Far Step Size Distance, the step size value is interpolated from Near Step Size to Far Step Size.void setShadowScreenSpaceStepSizeNearDistance ( float distance ) #
Sets the distance from the camera up to which the Near Step Size shall be used for screen-space shadows calculation. You can set different Step Size and Threshold values for objects located near the camera and far away from it. Thus, full-scale shadows will be rendered for large objects located far away, while within the close distance range only shadows cast by small objects will be rendered. This feature is especially useful for locations where details are required for both short and long-distance ranges.Arguments
