Colour Map Deformer
Method #
This node applies the colour from an input image or video source to the vertex colours of a mesh.
Parameters
These properties control the 3D transforms of the node. Transforms will generally be inherited by child nodes, although they can be ignored through the Inherit Transform Channels attributes.
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
Position X | Move along the local x-axis. |
Position Y | Move along the local y-axis. |
Position Z | Move along the local z-axis. |
Rotation Heading | Rotate around the local y-axis. |
Rotation Pitch | Rotate around the local x-axis. |
Rotation Bank | Rotate around the local z-axis. |
Scale X | Scale along the local x-axis. |
Scale Y | Scale along the local y-axis. |
Scale Z | Scale along the local z-axis. |
Toggle which transform channels should be inherited from the parent node. By default, all transforms will be inherited.
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
Position X | Toggle inheritance of the X Position from the parent. |
Position Y | Toggle inheritance of the Y Position from the parent. |
Position Z | Toggle inheritance of the Z Position from the parent. |
Rotation Heading | Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Heading from the parent. |
Rotation Pitch | Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Pitch from the parent. |
Rotation Bank | Toggle inheritance of the Rotation Bank from the parent. |
Scale X | Toggle inheritance of the X Scale from the parent. |
Scale Y | Toggle inheritance of the Y Scale from the parent. |
Scale Z | Toggle inheritance of the Z Scale from the parent. |
World Position Only | Inherit the world position from the parent only, rotation and scale will be ignored. Overrides above properties. |
Inherit Time | Toggle inheritance of time from the parent. |
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
Blend Amount | Global override for how much the deformer affects the mesh. |
Subdivision Order | Toggle whether the deformer is added before or after the object is subdivided.
|
Subdivision Level | The subdivision level at which the deformer is applied. Subdivision Order must be set to After Subdivision to Function. |
Weightmap | Add a weight map to determine where the deformer is more or less effective. |
Vertex Source Mode | Choose whether the deformer applies to the individual vertices or the mesh chunks.
|
Deformer Transform Space | Choose which transform space the deformer uses for deformation. Does not affect falloffs.
|
Update Time Mode | How the deformer updates with relation to the timecode.
|
These properties control where the deformer affects the geometry.
Parameter | Details |
---|---|
Falloff Enabled | Enable falloff from the position of the deformer. |
Falloff Shape | Select which shape to use to draw falloff from.
|
Falloff Range | Limits the range the deformer is effective at. |
Falloff Inner Range | The inner range from which the falloff is calculated from. |
Falloff Curve Power | How quickly the falloff drops to 0 at the outer falloff. |
Invert Falloff | Invert the direction of the falloff. |
Falloff Curve | Visualises the falloff curve, from being completely in effect to no longer effective. |
Inputs
Name | Description | Typical Input |
---|---|---|
Image | Image used to recolour the mesh. No changes to the mesh will occur if no texture is supplied. | Video Loader |
Mask Image | Use an image to mask out areas for the deformer to not function. | Video Loader |
Falloff Node | Use an input node to control the transformation values of the falloff. | Null |
Generated Weightmap | Add a weightmap to vary the strength of the deformer across the surface. | Generate Weightmap Deformer |
Transform Modifiers | Apply the transforms of another node to this node. | Null |
Target Node | Modifiy the rotations of the node to always direct the z axis towards the input. | Null |
Local Transform Override | Apply the transforms of another node to this node, relative to its parent. | Null |
