3D Planar Projection (Color)

In: Mesh Adaptive/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 Input
  Baked Position Map
• World Space Normal: Color Input
  Baked World Space Normal Map
• Projected Texture: Color Input
  Input texture to project onto target.

Parameters

• Positioning
  
  • Project Input: UV Position, World Space Position
    Choose 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 - 2.0
    Perform non-uniform scaling on the projected texture.
• Masking
  
  • Maximum Depth: 0.0 - 1.0
    Controls how deep the projected texture will appear, when it will cut-off.
  • Depth Fade: 0.0 - 1.0
    Set the transition for the cut-off depth to be sudden or faded.
  • Normal Threshold: -1.0 - 1.0
    Set the treshold for surfaces not exactly aligned with the projection normal.
  • Normal Fade: 0.0 - 1.0
    Set the transition for surfaces not aligned to sudden or fade.
