Detailed Description

Miscellaneous scene graph elements, for example, textures, light profiles, BSDF measurements, or decals.

Enumeration Type Documentation

Bsdf_type

enum mi::neuraylib::Bsdf_type

The BSDF type.

Enumerator
BSDF_SCALAR	One scalar per grid value.
BSDF_RGB	Three scalars (RGB) per grid value.

Filter_type

enum mi::neuraylib::Filter_type

Supported filter types.

The filter type (or filter kernel) specifies how multiple samples are to be combined into a single pixel value.

Enumerator
FILTER_BOX	box filter
FILTER_TRIANGLE	triangle filter
FILTER_GAUSS	Gaussian filter.
FILTER_CMITCHELL	clipped Mitchell filter
FILTER_CLANCZOS	clipped Lanczos filter
FILTER_FAST	a fast filter, could be GPU anti-aliasing, or any

Lightprofile_degree

enum mi::neuraylib::Lightprofile_degree

Degree of hermite interpolation.

Currently only linear (hermite 1) and cubic (hermite 3) degree are supported (see also [DH05]).

See also

mi::neuraylib::ILightprofile::reset_file(), mi::neuraylib::ILightprofile::get_degree()

Enumerator
LIGHTPROFILE_HERMITE_BASE_1	Degree 1 = linear interpolation.
LIGHTPROFILE_HERMITE_BASE_3	Degree 3 = cubic interpolation.

Lightprofile_flags

enum mi::neuraylib::Lightprofile_flags

Ordering of horizontal angles in a light profile.

The flags can be used to override the horizontal sample order in an IES file [IES02]. There are two IES file types in common use, type B and type C. The IES standard defines that samples are stored in counter-clockwise order. Type C files conform to this standard, but about 30% of the type B files deviate from the standard and store samples in clockwise order, without giving any indication in the IES file that could be used to switch the order. (Sometimes there is an informal comment.) Type A IES files are not supported.

See also

mi::neuraylib::ILightprofile::reset_file(), mi::neuraylib::ILightprofile::get_flags()

Enumerator
LIGHTPROFILE_CLOCKWISE	Clockwise order, contrary to the IES standard for these (incorrect) type B files.
LIGHTPROFILE_COUNTER_CLOCKWISE	Counter-clockwise, standard-conforming order (default).
LIGHTPROFILE_ROTATE_TYPE_B	For 3dsmax.
LIGHTPROFILE_ROTATE_TYPE_C_90_270	For 3dsmax.

Texture_compression

enum mi::neuraylib::Texture_compression

Texture compression method.

Enumerator
TEXTURE_NO_COMPRESSION	no compression
TEXTURE_MEDIUM_COMPRESSION	medium compression ratio
TEXTURE_HIGH_COMPRESSION	high compression ratio
