Unigine.ObjectGrass Class

Inherits from: Object

This class is used to create grass. The grass object is rendered in grid cells.

You can use a mask to cut out grass in the areas of intersection with other objects and decals (e.g. to remove vegetation under houses or from the surface of roads projected using decals).

ObjectGrass Class

Properties

int CutoutInverse#

The A value indicating if the grass is rendered inside or outside the areas determined by the cutout intersection mask.

int CutoutIntersectionMask#

The current cutout intersection mask. this mask allows you to cut out the grass in the areas of intersection with objects and decals (e.g. can be used to remove grass under houses or from the surface of roads projected using decals). the grass will be cut out by objects and decals that have their intersection mask matching this one (one bit at least).
Notice
To set intersection masks the following methods can be used:

int MaskInverse#

The A flag indicating if the grass is rendered inside or outside the mask mesh contour.

int MaskMaxValue#

The maximum value of the mask application range.

int MaskMinValue#

The minimum value of the mask application range.

int MaskFlipY#

The A flag indicating if a mask is flipped by y axis.

int MaskFlipX#

The A flag indicating if a mask is flipped by x axis.

vec4 Probability#

The current grass rendering probability per column (in the diffuse texture). the higher the value for some column, the more frequently it will be rendered.

float Angle#

The current angle cosine defining the slope steepness appropriate for grass growing.

float Threshold#

The current threshold for density, starting from which the grass is rendered.

float Density#

The current density factor for the grass per square unit.

int Subdivision#

The current divisor used to subdivide grass rendering cells into smaller sub-cells. subdividing is used if a grass node is used as a distant lod for WorldClutter or ObjectMeshClutter with smaller cells. This way, positions of randomly scattered objects will coincide with those of grass-based impostors.

float Step#

The current step for cells used to render grass.

float SizeY#

The current length of the grass object along the y-coordinate.

float SizeX#

The current width of the grass object along the x-coordinate.

int Seed#

The seed used for pseudo-random positioning of grass.

int SpawnCount#

The number of cells to be generated.

int NumTextures#

The number of rows contained in the grass diffuse texture.

int Intersection#

The A value indicating whether grass grow upon the ground: either the terrain or a mesh set as a parent node.

int IntersectionMask#

The intersection mask for the object.

int Orientation#

The A flag indicating if grass polygons are oriented along the normal of its parent (for example, a terrain).

int Variation#

The A value indicating if the random horizontal flip for grass polygons is set.

int Thinning#

The A flag indicating if the grass is thinned out with a distance (random grass polygons are not rendered across the grass fade distance).

int FieldMask#

The A mask specifying the area of the field node to be applied to the grass.

ivec4 TerrainMasks#

The current set of Landscape Terrain masks used for grass placement.
