Parameters

This is a list of parameters for nkShader node.

lightsAttenuation

• Lights attenuation formula

• Default: None

• Values: Linear, None

lightsOperation

• When selfDiffuse is connected at the same time with diffuse/specular, this parameter determines how to mix the selfDiffuse with the RTLights result.

• Default: Add

• Values: Add, Mul

Note: Not all pipelines support this feature.

reflectionsDetail

The shader generates faster code when the detail level is lower.

When detail is set to low, the realtime lighting is disabled.

• Default: Low

• Values: Low, High

linearSpace

The shader output color is considered to be in linear space.

This parameter is used by the rendering pipelines that support linear space calculations.

• Default: False

• Values: True, False

skinned

The shader supports bones skinning.

• Default: False

• Values:True, False

billboardType

The shader produces a billboard.

• Default: None

• Values: None, Screen, YAxis, YAxisViewpoint, YAxisBillboardGroup

• Special cases:

  • YAxisViewpoint may require a material parameter named fBillboardOffset, Otherwise, it is considered equal to zero.

  • YAxisBillboardGroup must be used only for rendering BillboardGroup objects. Do not use any other billboardType.

infiniteZ

The shader calculates the vertex z position as if it was at the edge of the Z buffer. This way the object is always rendered also if its z position is out of the camera's far value.

Note: Just using this flag may not be enough. You must also change the render states based on the current rendering pipeline.

To test this, use the "depthCompareMode = lessEqual" state inside the mesh material definition.

• Default: False

• Values: True, False
