Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ UsdLuxShadowAPI() [1/3]

UsdLuxShadowAPI ( const UsdPrim prim = UsdPrim())
inlineexplicit

Construct a UsdLuxShadowAPI on UsdPrim prim .

Equivalent to UsdLuxShadowAPI::Get(prim.GetStage(), prim.GetPath()) for a valid prim, but will not immediately throw an error for an invalid prim

Definition at line 73 of file shadowAPI.h.

◆ UsdLuxShadowAPI() [2/3]

UsdLuxShadowAPI ( const UsdSchemaBase schemaObj)
inlineexplicit

Construct a UsdLuxShadowAPI on the prim held by schemaObj .

Should be preferred over UsdLuxShadowAPI(schemaObj.GetPrim()), as it preserves SchemaBase state.

Definition at line 81 of file shadowAPI.h.

◆ ~UsdLuxShadowAPI()

virtual USDLUX_API ~UsdLuxShadowAPI ( )
virtual

Destructor.

◆ UsdLuxShadowAPI() [3/3]

USDLUX_API UsdLuxShadowAPI ( const UsdShadeConnectableAPI connectable)

Constructor that takes a ConnectableAPI object.

Allow implicit conversion of UsdShadeConnectableAPI to UsdLuxShadowAPI.

Member Function Documentation

◆ _GetSchemaKind()

USDLUX_API UsdSchemaKind _GetSchemaKind ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Returns the kind of schema this class belongs to.

See also
UsdSchemaKind

Reimplemented from UsdAPISchemaBase.

◆ Apply()

static USDLUX_API UsdLuxShadowAPI Apply ( const UsdPrim prim)
static

Applies this single-apply API schema to the given prim.

This information is stored by adding "ShadowAPI" to the token-valued, listOp metadata apiSchemas on the prim.

Returns
A valid UsdLuxShadowAPI object is returned upon success. An invalid (or empty) UsdLuxShadowAPI object is returned upon failure. See UsdPrim::ApplyAPI() for conditions resulting in failure.

UsdPrim::GetAppliedSchemas()
UsdPrim::HasAPI()

UsdPrim::ApplyAPI()
UsdPrim::RemoveAPI()

◆ CanApply()

static USDLUX_API bool CanApply ( const UsdPrim prim,
std::string *  whyNot = nullptr 
)
static

Returns true if this single-apply API schema can be applied to the given prim.

If this schema can not be a applied to the prim, this returns false and, if provided, populates whyNot with the reason it can not be applied.

Note that if CanApply returns false, that does not necessarily imply that calling Apply will fail. Callers are expected to call CanApply before calling Apply if they want to ensure that it is valid to apply a schema.

UsdPrim::HasAPI()
UsdPrim::CanApplyAPI()
UsdPrim::ApplyAPI()
UsdPrim::RemoveAPI()

◆ ConnectableAPI()

USDLUX_API UsdShadeConnectableAPI ConnectableAPI ( ) const

Contructs and returns a UsdShadeConnectableAPI object with this shadow API prim.

Note that a valid UsdLuxShadowAPI will only return a valid UsdShadeConnectableAPI if the its prim's Typed schema type is actually connectable.

◆ CreateInput()

USDLUX_API UsdShadeInput CreateInput ( const TfToken name,
const SdfValueTypeName typeName 
)

Create an input which can either have a value or can be connected.

The attribute representing the input is created in the "inputs:" namespace. Inputs on shadow API are connectable.

◆ CreateOutput()

USDLUX_API UsdShadeOutput CreateOutput ( const TfToken name,
const SdfValueTypeName typeName 
)

Create an output which can either have a value or can be connected.

The attribute representing the output is created in the "outputs:" namespace. Outputs on a shadow API cannot be connected, as their value is assumed to be computed externally.

◆ CreateShadowColorAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute CreateShadowColorAttr ( VtValue const &  defaultValue = VtValue(),
bool  writeSparsely = false 
) const

See GetShadowColorAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ CreateShadowDistanceAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute CreateShadowDistanceAttr ( VtValue const &  defaultValue = VtValue(),
bool  writeSparsely = false 
) const

See GetShadowDistanceAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ CreateShadowEnableAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute CreateShadowEnableAttr ( VtValue const &  defaultValue = VtValue(),
bool  writeSparsely = false 
) const

See GetShadowEnableAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ CreateShadowFalloffAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute CreateShadowFalloffAttr ( VtValue const &  defaultValue = VtValue(),
bool  writeSparsely = false 
) const

See GetShadowFalloffAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ CreateShadowFalloffGammaAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute CreateShadowFalloffGammaAttr ( VtValue const &  defaultValue = VtValue(),
bool  writeSparsely = false 
) const

See GetShadowFalloffGammaAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ Get()

static USDLUX_API UsdLuxShadowAPI Get ( const UsdStagePtr &  stage,
const SdfPath path 
)
static

Return a UsdLuxShadowAPI holding the prim adhering to this schema at path on stage.

If no prim exists at path on stage, or if the prim at that path does not adhere to this schema, return an invalid schema object. This is shorthand for the following:

UsdLuxShadowAPI(stage->GetPrimAtPath(path));

◆ GetInput()

USDLUX_API UsdShadeInput GetInput ( const TfToken name) const

Return the requested input if it exists.

◆ GetInputs()

USDLUX_API std::vector< UsdShadeInput > GetInputs ( bool  onlyAuthored = true) const

Inputs are represented by attributes in the "inputs:" namespace.

If onlyAuthored is true (the default), then only return authored attributes; otherwise, this also returns un-authored builtins.

◆ GetOutput()

USDLUX_API UsdShadeOutput GetOutput ( const TfToken name) const

Return the requested output if it exists.

◆ GetOutputs()

USDLUX_API std::vector< UsdShadeOutput > GetOutputs ( bool  onlyAuthored = true) const

Outputs are represented by attributes in the "outputs:" namespace.

◆ GetSchemaAttributeNames()

static USDLUX_API const TfTokenVector & GetSchemaAttributeNames ( bool  includeInherited = true)
static

Return a vector of names of all pre-declared attributes for this schema class and all its ancestor classes.

Does not include attributes that may be authored by custom/extended methods of the schemas involved.

◆ GetShadowColorAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShadowColorAttr ( ) const

The color of shadows cast by the light.

This is a non-physical control. The default is to cast black shadows.

Declaration color3f inputs:shadow:color = (0, 0, 0)
C++ Type GfVec3f
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Color3f

◆ GetShadowDistanceAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShadowDistanceAttr ( ) const

The maximum distance shadows are cast.

The distance is measured as the distance between the point on the surface and the occluder. The default value (-1) indicates no limit.

Declaration float inputs:shadow:distance = -1
C++ Type float
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Float

◆ GetShadowEnableAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShadowEnableAttr ( ) const

Enables shadows to be cast by this light.

Declaration bool inputs:shadow:enable = 1
C++ Type bool
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Bool

◆ GetShadowFalloffAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShadowFalloffAttr ( ) const

The size of the shadow falloff zone within the shadow max distance, which can be used to hide the hard cut-off for shadows seen stretching past the max distance.

The falloff zone is the area that fades from full shadowing at the beginning of the falloff zone to no shadowing at the max distance from the occluder. The falloff zone distance cannot exceed the shadow max distance. A falloff value equal to or less than zero (with -1 as the default) indicates no falloff.

Declaration float inputs:shadow:falloff = -1
C++ Type float
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Float

◆ GetShadowFalloffGammaAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShadowFalloffGammaAttr ( ) const

A gamma (i.e., exponential) control over shadow strength with linear distance within the falloff zone.

This controls the rate of the falloff. This requires the use of shadowDistance and shadowFalloff.

Declaration float inputs:shadow:falloffGamma = 1
C++ Type float
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Float
