panda3d.core.LightRampAttrib¶

from panda3d.core import LightRampAttrib

class LightRampAttrib¶

Bases: RenderAttrib

A Light Ramp is any unary operator that takes a rendered pixel as input, and adjusts the brightness of that pixel. For example, gamma correction is a kind of light ramp. So is HDR tone mapping. So is cartoon shading. See the constructors for an explanation of each kind of ramp.

Inheritance diagram

static makeDefault() → RenderAttrib¶

Constructs a new LightRampAttrib object. This is the standard OpenGL lighting ramp, which clamps the final light total to the 0-1 range.

Return type: RenderAttrib

static makeIdentity() → RenderAttrib¶

Constructs a new LightRampAttrib object. This differs from the usual OpenGL lighting model in that it does not clamp the final lighting total to (0,1).

Return type: RenderAttrib

static makeSingleThreshold(thresh0: float, lev0: float) → RenderAttrib¶

Constructs a new LightRampAttrib object. This causes the luminance of the diffuse lighting contribution to be quantized using a single threshold:

if (original_luminance > threshold0) {
  luminance = level0;
} else {
  luminance = 0.0;
}

Return type: RenderAttrib

static makeDoubleThreshold(thresh0: float, lev0: float, thresh1: float, lev1: float) → RenderAttrib¶

Constructs a new LightRampAttrib object. This causes the luminance of the diffuse lighting contribution to be quantized using two thresholds:

if (original_luminance > threshold1) {
  luminance = level1;
} else if (original_luminance > threshold0) {
  luminance = level0;
} else {
  luminance = 0.0;
}

Return type: RenderAttrib

static makeHdr0() → RenderAttrib¶

Constructs a new LightRampAttrib object. This causes an HDR tone mapping operation to be applied.

Normally, brightness values greater than 1 cannot be distinguished from each other, causing very brightly lit objects to wash out white and all detail to be erased. HDR tone mapping remaps brightness values in the range 0-infinity into the range (0,1), making it possible to distinguish detail in scenes whose brightness exceeds 1.

However, the monitor has finite contrast. Normally, all of that contrast is used to represent brightnesses in the range 0-1. The HDR0 tone mapping operator ‘steals’ one quarter of that contrast to represent brightnesses in the range 1-infinity.

FINAL_RGB = (RGB^3 + RGB^2 + RGB) / (RGB^3 + RGB^2 + RGB + 1)

Return type: RenderAttrib

static makeHdr1() → RenderAttrib¶

Constructs a new LightRampAttrib object. This causes an HDR tone mapping operation to be applied.

Normally, brightness values greater than 1 cannot be distinguished from each other, causing very brightly lit objects to wash out white and all detail to be erased. HDR tone mapping remaps brightness values in the range 0-infinity into the range (0,1), making it possible to distinguish detail in scenes whose brightness exceeds 1.

However, the monitor has finite contrast. Normally, all of that contrast is used to represent brightnesses in the range 0-1. The HDR1 tone mapping operator ‘steals’ one third of that contrast to represent brightnesses in the range 1-infinity.

FINAL_RGB = (RGB^2 + RGB) / (RGB^2 + RGB + 1)

Return type: RenderAttrib

static makeHdr2() → RenderAttrib¶

Constructs a new LightRampAttrib object. This causes an HDR tone mapping operation to be applied.

Normally, brightness values greater than 1 cannot be distinguished from each other, causing very brightly lit objects to wash out white and all detail to be erased. HDR tone mapping remaps brightness values in the range 0-infinity into the range (0,1), making it possible to distinguish detail in scenes whose brightness exceeds 1.

However, the monitor has finite contrast. Normally, all of that contrast is used to represent brightnesses in the range 0-1. The HDR2 tone mapping operator ‘steals’ one half of that contrast to represent brightnesses in the range 1-infinity.

FINAL_RGB = (RGB) / (RGB + 1)

Return type: RenderAttrib

getMode() → LightRampMode¶

Returns the LightRampAttrib mode.

Return type: LightRampMode

getLevel(n: int) → float¶: Returns the nth lighting level.

getThreshold(n: int) → float¶: Returns the nth threshold level.

static getClassSlot() → int¶

static getClassType() → TypeHandle¶

Return type: TypeHandle

property mode¶

Returns the LightRampAttrib mode.

Return type: LightRampMode

property class_slot¶
