Detailed Description

struct Meta_ReflectionProbe;

A ReflectionProbe represents a local skybox providing dynamic reflections of the surrounding environment.

These are positioned in the scene by adding them as a child of an Assembly node and transforming that.

Public Types Documentation

enum IDX

Enumerator	Value	Description
Idx_Enabled		bool - If enabled, the light probe cubemap will be dynamically updated and used as an environment map on intersecting scene geometry.
Idx_Resolution		int - Resolution of each cubemap face.
Idx_ProxyType		ProxyType (int) - The type of proxy geometry to use.
Idx_ProxySize		vec3f - The world-space size of the light probes proxy geometry, everything inside this geometry will use the light probes cubemap as an environment map.
Idx_Shadows		bool - Whether or not to render shadows into the probe.
Idx_UpdateMode		UpdateMode (int) - Describes how the probe should update itself.
Idx_UpdateAndStoreNow		bool - Transient property used as an event to trigger the manual rendering of the baked texture. Resets back to false after updating.
Idx_Texture		link - The custom texture used when Mode==Probe_Custom
Idx_Mode		ProbeMode (int) - Whether the probes image is rendered in-engine or comes from an external image file.
Idx_BakedTexture		link - The baked texture used when Mode==Probe_Bake

Property index.

enum ProbeMode

Enumerator	Value	Description
Probe_Bake		Render the probe image using the scene geometry. (Symbols - C: "Probe_Bake", Lua: __LightProbe_Probe_Bake)
Probe_Custom		Use the Idx_Texture image instead of rendering. (Symbols - C: "Probe_Custom", Lua: __LightProbe_Probe_Custom)

Values for Idx_Mode.

enum ProxyType

Enumerator	Value	Description
Proxy_None		No proxy geometry (Symbols - C: "Proxy_None", Lua: __LightProbe_Proxy_None)
Proxy_Ellipsoid		Ellipsoid proxy (Symbols - C: "Proxy_Ellipsoid", Lua: __LightProbe_Proxy_Ellipsoid)
Proxy_Box		Box proxy (Symbols - C: "Proxy_Box", Lua: __LightProbe_Proxy_Box)

Values for Idx_ProxyType.

enum UpdateMode

Enumerator	Value	Description
Update_Auto		Update when the probe, or something in the scene changes; moves, is enabled/disabled etc. (Symbols - C: "Update_Auto", Lua: __LightProbe_Update_Auto)
Update_Always		Continually re-draw the cubemap regardless of whether or not anything changes; useful if the change isn't being picked up. (Symbols - C: "Update_Always", Lua: __LightProbe_Update_Always)
Update_Manual		Only update when "UpdateAndStoreNow" property is set to true, which causes it to draw the cubemap and save the result in the texture pointed to by the "Texture" property (it will create one if null), then it sets the "UpdateAndStoreNow" property back to false. On load if this mode is active the probe will just use the content of the linked "Texture". (Symbols - C: "Update_Manual", Lua: __LightProbe_Update_Manual)

Values for Idx_UpdateMode.
