3D Planar Projection

3D Planar Projection (Color)

In: Mesh Based Generators*/Utilities*

Complex

Description

Performs a planar projection based on baked mesh data (Position and World Normal Maps). Allows you to project and place decals across seams, independent of original UV-mapping.

Parameters

Inputs

• Position Map: Color InputBaked Position Map
• World Space Normal: Color InputBaked World Space Normal Map
• Projected Texture: Color InputInput texture to project onto target.

Parameters

• Positioning

  • Project Input: UV Position, World Space PositionChoose whether the projection position is set in 2D/UV or in 3D/World space.
  • Target UV Position:
    Only with UV Position Input, best used to pick a point in the 2D view on the Position map.
  • Target Position: *(Color value)*Only with World Space Position Input, lets you define an exact 3D coordinate.
  • Target Normal: (Color value)
  • Rotation: 0.0 - 1.0
    Rotates the projected texture along it’ normal axis.
  • Scale: 0.0 - 1.0
    Set the global scale for the projected texture.
  • Size: 0.0 - 2.0Perform non-uniform scaling on the projected texture.

• Masking

  • Maximum Depth: 0.0 - 1.0Controls how deep the projected texture will appear, when it will cut-off.
  • Depth Fade: 0.0 - 1.0Set the transition for the cut-off depth to be sudden or faded.
  • Normal Threshold: -1.0 - 1.0Set the treshold for surfaces not exactly aligned with the projection normal.
  • Normal Fade: 0.0 - 1.0Set the transition for surfaces not aligned to sudden or fade.
