Detailed Description

Decals can have diffuse, normal map, and emissive on top of regular objects.

You can GLOBALLY disable each of these (diffuse/normal/emissive) by setting a null texture in SceneManager::setDecalsDiffuse and co.

If a nullptr is set on e.g. Normal textures, and a Decal uses normal maps, they won't appear. You need to set a valid pointer to SceneManager::setDecalsNormals.

Likewise, if no Decal actually uses normal textures, but you still set one via SceneManager::setDecalsNormals, then you will be wasting GPU shader performance.

When diffuse is used, the fresnel and specular colours of the material are overwritten as well.

Q: How to disable diffuse/normal/emissive per Decal?

To disable diffuse just point to a diffuse texture slice (mDiffuseIdx) that is a black and call setIgnoreAlphaDiffuse( true )
To disable normals, just point to a normal map that has XY components set both to 0
To disable emissive, just point to a texture that is black.

Q: Why does it use Metalness? What happens when a non-metallic workflow is used?

Metalness is used for performance reasons, as it allows giving enough control over the specular by just using one parameter, rather than having 3 (one per specular channel)

On metallic & fresnel workflows, this "just works" because the metalness parameter will produce a new coloured F0 parameter, which will overwrite the one from the original material.

On specular workflows, if the fresnel is coloured, it will behave the same way as a metallic/fresnel workflow, because the original specular colour will be set to white, and F0 will be overwritten.

If the fresnel is monochrome (specular workflow), then the specular colour will be overwritten instead, and the metalness value of the decal will act as a fresnel value, overwriting the original fresnel.

◆ notifyTextureChanged()

void Ogre::Decal::notifyTextureChanged ( TextureGpu texture,
TextureGpuListener::Reason  reason,
void *  extraData 
)
overridevirtual

Called when a TextureGpu changed in a way that affects how it is displayed:

  1. TextureGpu::notifyDataIsReady got called (texture is ready to be displayed)
  2. Texture changed residency status.
  3. Texture is being deleted. It won't be a valid pointer after this call.

Implements Ogre::TextureGpuListener.

◆ setDiffuseTexture()

void Ogre::Decal::setDiffuseTexture ( TextureGpu diffuseTex)

Call this family of functions if the input texture is automatically batched We will listen for residency changes and change the internal slice accordingly.

◆ setDiffuseTextureRaw()

void Ogre::Decal::setDiffuseTextureRaw ( TextureGpu diffuseTex,
uint32  sliceIdx 
)

Call this family of functions if the input texture is managed by hand by you.

We will not listen to residency changes. It's your responsibility to ensure the texture resident by the time it needs to be displayed.

◆ setEmissiveTexture()

void Ogre::Decal::setEmissiveTexture ( TextureGpu emissiveTex)

◆ setEmissiveTextureRaw()

void Ogre::Decal::setEmissiveTextureRaw ( TextureGpu emissiveTex,
uint32  sliceIdx 
)

◆ setIgnoreAlphaDiffuse()

void Ogre::Decal::setIgnoreAlphaDiffuse ( bool  bIgnore)

When diffuse textures are used (globally), the alpha component of the diffuse texture will be used to mask all the other textures (e.g.

normal & emissive maps).

When bIgnore = true, the alpha component of the diffuse texture won't be used on normal & emissive maps.

Parameters
bIgnoreTrue to ignore the alpha on the other maps. False otherwise. Default: False

◆ setMetalness()

void Ogre::Decal::setMetalness ( float  value)

Value for Metalness. Must be in range [0; 1].

◆ setNormalTexture()

void Ogre::Decal::setNormalTexture ( TextureGpu normalTex)

◆ setNormalTextureRaw()

void Ogre::Decal::setNormalTextureRaw ( TextureGpu normalTex,
uint32  sliceIdx 
)

◆ setRectSize()

void Ogre::Decal::setRectSize ( Vector2  planeDimensions,
Real  depth 
)

Helper function to set width, height and depth of the decal.

This is a helper function because these parameters actually live in the parent scene node

All the function does is literally:

if( mParentNode )
mParentNode->setScale( planeDimensions.x, depth, planeDimensions.y );
Parameters
planeDimensionsplaneDimensions.x = width planeDimensions.y = height
depthDecals are 2D by nature. The depth of the decal indicates its influence on the objects. Decals are like oriented boxes, and everything inside the box will be affected by the decal.

◆ setRenderQueueGroup()

void Ogre::Decal::setRenderQueueGroup ( uint8  queueID)
overridevirtual

Decals only allow ForwardPlusBase::MinDecalRq <= queueID < ForwardPlusBase::MaxDecalRq.

Reimplemented from Ogre::MovableObject.

◆ setRoughness()

void Ogre::Decal::setRoughness ( float  roughness)

Value for Roughness. Valid range depends on the BRDF used.
