PolylightEffect

class PolylightEffect

Bases: RenderEffect

A PolylightEffect can be used on a node to define a LightGroup for that node. A LightGroup contains PolylightNodes which are essentially nodes that add color to the polygons of a model based on distance. PolylightNode is a cheap way to get lighting effects specially for night scenes

enum ContribType

enumerator CT_proximal = 0

enumerator CT_all = 1

typedef pvector<NodePath> PolylightEffect::LightGroup

alias of pvector< NodePath >

ConstPointerTo<RenderEffect> add_light(NodePath const &newlight) const

Add a PolylightNode object to this effect and return a new effect

static TypeHandle get_class_type(void)

ContribType get_contrib(void) const

Returns CT_all or CT_proximal

LPoint3 get_effect_center(void) const

Return the value of the _effect_center

PN_stdfloat get_weight(void) const

Get the weight value

bool has_light(NodePath const &light) const

Returns true if the indicated light is listed in the PolylightEffect, false otherwise.

static ConstPointerTo<RenderEffect> make(void)

static ConstPointerTo<RenderEffect> make(PN_stdfloat weight, ContribType contrib, LPoint3 const &effect_center)

static ConstPointerTo<RenderEffect> make(PN_stdfloat weight, ContribType contrib, LPoint3 const &effect_center, LightGroup const &lights)

Constructs a new PolylightEffect object.

ConstPointerTo<RenderEffect> remove_light(NodePath const &newlight) const

Remove a light from this effect. Return the new updated effect

ConstPointerTo<RenderEffect> set_contrib(PolylightEffect::ContribType c) const

Set Contrib Type and return a new effect… the reason this couldnt be done through make was because that would return a new effect without the lightgroup which is static and cant be accessed Here, we just pass that to the make

ConstPointerTo<RenderEffect> set_effect_center(LPoint3 const &ec) const

Set weight and return a new effect… the reason this couldnt be done through make was because that would return a new effect without the lightgroup which is static and cant be accessed Here, we just pass that to the make

ConstPointerTo<RenderEffect> set_weight(PN_stdfloat w) const

Set weight and return a new effect… the reason this couldnt be done through make was because that would return a new effect without the lightgroup which is static and cant be accessed Here, we just pass that to the make
