Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ TransparencyModes

Enumerator
None 

No alpha blending. Default.

Transparent 

Realistic transparency that preserves lighting reflections (particularly specular on the edges).

Great for glass, transparent plastic, most stuff. Note that at transparency = 0 the object may not be fully invisible.

Fade 

Good 'ol regular alpha blending.

Ideal for just fading out an object until it completely disappears.

Refractive 

Similar to transparent, but also performs refractions.

The compositor scene pass must be set to render refractive objects in its own pass.

See Samples/2.0/ApiUsage/Refractions

◆ Workflows

Enumerator
SpecularWorkflow 

Specular workflow.

Many popular PBRs use SpecularAsFresnelWorkflow though.

See also
setWorkflow
SpecularAsFresnelWorkflow 

Specular workflow where the specular texture is addressed to the fresnel instead of kS.

This is normally referred as simply Specular workflow in many other PBRs.

Parameters
params
  • fresnel <value [g, b]> The IOR. See setIndexOfRefraction() When specifying three values, the fresnel is separate for each colour component
  • fresnel_coeff <value [g, b]> Directly sets the fresnel values, instead of using IORs "F0" in most books about PBS
  • roughness <value> Specifies the roughness value. Should be in range (0; inf) Note: Values extremely close to zero could cause NaNs and INFs in the pixel shader, also depends on the GPU's precision.
  • background_diffuse <r g b a> Specifies diffuse colour to use as a background when diffuse texture are not present. Does not replace 'diffuse <r g b>' Default: background_diffuse 1 1 1 1
  • diffuse <r g b> Specifies the RGB diffuse colour. "kD" in most books about PBS Default: diffuse 1 1 1 1 Note: Internally the diffuse colour is divided by PI.
  • diffuse_map <texture name> Name of the diffuse texture for the base image (optional)
  • diffuse_map_grayscale <true, false> When set to true diffuse map would be sampled with .rrra swizzle Default: false

  • specular_map <texture name> Name of the specular texture for the base image (optional).
  • roughness_map <texture name> Name of the roughness texture for the base image (optional) Note: Only the Red channel will be used, and the texture will be converted to an efficient monochrome representation.
  • normal_map <texture name> Name of the normal texture for the base image (optional) for normal mapping
  • detail_weight_map <texture name> Texture that when present, will be used as mask/weight for the 4 detail maps. The R channel is used for detail map #0; the G for detail map #1, B for #2, and Alpha for #3. This affects both the diffuse and normal-mapped detail maps.
  • detail_map0 <texture name> Similar: detail_map1, detail_map2, detail_map3 Name of the detail map to be used on top of the diffuse colour. There can be gaps (i.e. set detail maps 0 and 2 but not 1)
  • detail_blend_mode0 <blend_mode> Similar: detail_blend_mode1, detail_blend_mode2, detail_blend_mode3 Blend mode to use for each detail map. Valid values are: "NormalNonPremul", "NormalPremul", "Add", "Subtract", "Multiply", "Multiply2x", "Screen", "Overlay", "Lighten", "Darken", "GrainExtract", "GrainMerge", "Difference"
  • detail_offset_scale0 <offset_u> <offset_v> <scale_u> <scale_v> Similar: detail_offset_scale1, detail_offset_scale2, detail_offset_scale3 Sets the UV offset and scale of the detail maps.
  • detail_normal_map0 <texture name> Similar: detail_normal_map1, detail_normal_map2, detail_normal_map3 Name of the detail map's normal map to be used. It's not affected by blend mode. May be used even if there is no detail_map

  • reflection_map <texture name> Name of the reflection map. Must be a cubemap. Doesn't use an UV set because the tex. coords are automatically calculated.
  • uv_diffuse_map <uv> Similar: uv_specular_map, uv_normal_map, uv_detail_mapN, uv_detail_normal_mapN, uv_detail_weight_map where N is a number between 0 and 3. UV set to use for the particular texture map. The UV value must be in range [0; 8)
  • transparency <value> Specifies the transparency amount. Value in range [0; 1] where 0 = full transparency and 1 = fully opaque.
  • transparency_mode <transparent, none, fade> Specifies the transparency mode.

Remarks
The metallic parameter will be converted to a specular workflow.

◆ importUnity() [2/2]

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::importUnity ( const Vector3 diffuse,
const Vector3 specular,
Real  roughness,
bool  changeBrdf 
)

Helper function to import & convert values from Unity (specular workflow).

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setAlphaTestThreshold ( float  threshold)
override
See also
HlmsDatablock::setAlphaTest
Remarks
Alpha testing works on the alpha channel of the diffuse texture. If there is no diffuse texture, the first diffuse detail map after applying the blend weights (texture + params) is used. If there are no diffuse nor detail-diffuse maps, the alpha test is compared against the value 1.0

◆ setBackgroundDiffuse()

Sets the diffuse background colour.

When no diffuse texture is present, this solid colour replaces it, and can act as a background for the detail maps.

◆ setBrdf()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setBrdf ( PbsBrdf::PbsBrdf  brdf)

Changes the BRDF in use.

Calling this function may trigger an HlmsDatablock::flushRenderables

◆ setClearCoat()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setClearCoat ( float  clearCoat)

Sets the strength of the of the clear coat layer and its roughness.

Parameters
clearCoatThis should be treated as a binary value, set to either 0 or 1. Intermediate values are useful to control transitions between parts of the surface that have a clear coat layers and parts that don't.

◆ setClearCoatRoughness()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setClearCoatRoughness ( float  roughness)

◆ setCubemapProbe()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setCubemapProbe ( CubemapProbe probe)

Manually set a probe to affect this particular material.

Remarks
PCC (Parallax Corrected Cubemaps) have two main forms of operation: Auto and manual. They both have advantages and disadvantages. This method allows you to enable the manual mode of operation.
Manual Advantages:
  • It's independent of camera position.
  • The reflections are always visible and working on the object.
  • Works best for static objects
  • Also works well on dynamic objects that you can guarantee are going to be constrained to the probe's area. Manual Disadvantages:
  • Needs to be manually applied on the material by the user.
  • Can produce harsh lighting/reflection seams when two objects affected by different probes are close together.
  • Sucks for dynamic objects.

To use manual probes just call: datablock->setCubemapProbe( probe );

Auto Advantages:
  • Smoothly blends between probes, making smooth transitions
  • Avoids seams.
  • No need to change anything on the material or the object, you don't need to do anything.
  • Works best for dynamic objects (eg. characters)
  • Also works well on static objects if the camera is inside rooms/corridors, thus blocking the view from distant rooms that aren't receiving reflections. Auto Disadvantages:
  • Objects that are further away won't have reflections as only one probe can be active.
  • It depends on the camera's position.
  • Doesn't work well if the user can see many distant objects at once, as they won't have reflections until you get close.

To use Auto you don't need to do anything. Just enable PCC: hlmsPbs->setParallaxCorrectedCubemap( mParallaxCorrectedCubemap ); and leave PBSM_REFLECTION empty and don't enable manual mode.

When other reflection methods can be used as fallback (Planar reflections, SSR), then usually auto will be the preferred choice. But if multiple reflections/fallbacks aren't available, you'll likely have to make good use of manual and auto
Parameters
probeThe probe that should affect this material to enable manual mode. Null pointer to disable manual mode and switch to auto.

◆ setDetailMapBlendMode()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setDetailMapBlendMode ( uint8  detailMapIdx,
PbsBlendModes  blendMode 
)

Changes the blend mode of the detail map.

Calling this function triggers a HlmsDatablock::flushRenderables even if you never use detail maps (they affect the cache's hash)

Remarks
This parameter only affects the diffuse detail map. Not the normal map.
Parameters
detailMapIdxValue in the range [0; 4)
blendModeBlend mode

◆ setDetailMapOffsetScale()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setDetailMapOffsetScale ( uint8  detailMap,
const Vector4 offsetScale 
)

Sets the scale and offset of the detail map.

Remarks
A value of Vector4( 0, 0, 1, 1 ) will cause a flushRenderables as we remove the code from the shader.
Parameters
detailMapValue in the range [0; 4)
offsetScaleXY = Contains the UV offset. ZW = Constains the UV scale. Default value is Vector4( 0, 0, 1, 1 )

◆ setDetailMapWeight()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setDetailMapWeight ( uint8  detailMap,
Real  weight 
)

Sets the weight of detail map.

Affects both diffuse and normal at the same time.

Remarks
A value of 1 will cause a flushRenderables as we remove the code from the shader. The weight from setNormalMapWeight() is multiplied against this value when it comes to the detail normal map.
Parameters
detailMapValue in the range [0; 4)
weightThe weight for the detail map. Usual values are in range [0; 1] but any value is accepted and valid. Default value is 1

◆ setDetailNormalWeight()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setDetailNormalWeight ( uint8  detailNormalMapIdx,
Real  weight 
)

Sets the normal mapping weight.

The range doesn't necessarily have to be in [0; 1]

Remarks
An exact value of 1 will generate a shader without the weighting math, while any other value will generate another shader that uses this weight (i.e. will cause a flushRenderables)
Parameters
detailNormalMapIdxValue in the range [0; 4)
weightThe weight for the normal map. A value of 0 means no effect (tangent space normal is 0, 0, 1); and would be the same as disabling the normal map texture. A value of 1 means full normal map effect. A value outside the [0; 1] range extrapolates. Default value is 1.

◆ setDiffuse()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setDiffuse ( const Vector3 diffuseColour)

Sets the diffuse colour (final multiplier).

The colour will be divided by PI for energy conservation.

◆ setEmissive()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setEmissive ( const Vector3 emissiveColour)

Sets emissive colour (e.g.

a firefly). Emissive colour has no physical basis. Though in HDR, if you're working in lumens, this value should probably be in lumens too. To disable emissive, setEmissive( Vector3::ZERO ) and unset any texture in PBSM_EMISSIVE slot.

◆ setFresnel()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setFresnel ( const Vector3 fresnel,
bool  separateFresnel 
)

Sets the fresnel (F0) directly, instead of using the IOR.

See setIndexOfRefraction().

Remarks
If "separateFresnel" was different from the current setting, it will call HlmsDatablock::flushRenderables. If the another shader must be created, it could cause a stall.
Parameters
refractionIdxThe fresnel of the material for each colour component. When separateFresnel = false, the Y and Z components are ignored.
separateFresnelWhether to use the same fresnel term for RGB channel, or individual ones.

◆ setIndexOfRefraction()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setIndexOfRefraction ( const Vector3 refractionIdx,
bool  separateFresnel 
)

Calculates fresnel (F0 in most books) based on the IOR.

The formula used is ( (1 - idx) / (1 + idx) )²

Remarks
If "separateFresnel" was different from the current setting, it will call HlmsDatablock::flushRenderables(). If the another shader must be created, it could cause a stall.
Parameters
refractionIdxThe index of refraction of the material for each colour component. When separateFresnel = false, the Y and Z components are ignored.
separateFresnelWhether to use the same fresnel term for RGB channel, or individual ones.

◆ setMetalness()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setMetalness ( float  metalness)

Sets the metalness in a metallic workflow.

Remarks
Overrides any fresnel value. Should be in Metallic mode.
See also
setWorkflow;
Parameters
metalnessValue in range [0; 1]

◆ setNormalMapWeight()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setNormalMapWeight ( Real  weight)

See setDetailNormalWeight(). This is the same, but for the main normal map.

◆ setReceiveShadows()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setReceiveShadows ( bool  receiveShadows)

When false, objects with this material will not receive shadows (independent of whether they case shadows or not)

Remarks
Changing this parameter will cause a flushRenderables Shadow casting lights (which are normally processed in a Forward way) will still lit the object, it just won't have shadows in it.
Parameters
receiveShadowsWhether to enable or disable receiving shadows.

◆ setRefractionStrength()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setRefractionStrength ( float  strength)

Sets the strength of the refraction, i.e.

how much displacement in screen space.

This value is not physically based. Only used when HlmsPbsDatablock::setTransparency was set to HlmsPbsDatablock::Refractive

Parameters
strengthRefraction strength. Useful range is often (0; 1) but any value is valid (even negative), but the bigger the number, the more likely glitches will appear (with large values we have to fallback to regular alpha blending due to the screen space pixel landing outside the screen)

◆ setRoughness()

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

Sets the roughness.

◆ setSpecular()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setSpecular ( const Vector3 specularColour)

Sets the specular colour.

◆ setTexture()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setTexture ( PbsTextureTypes  texUnit,
const String name,
const HlmsSamplerblock refParams = 0 
)

◆ setTextureUvSource()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setTextureUvSource ( PbsTextureTypes  sourceType,
uint8  uvSet 
)

Sets which UV set to use for the given texture.

Calling this function triggers a HlmsDatablock::flushRenderables.

Parameters
sourceTypeSource texture to modify. Note that we don't enforce PBSM_SOURCE_DETAIL0 = PBSM_SOURCE_DETAIL_NM0, but you probably want to have both textures using the same UV source. Must be lower than NUM_PBSM_SOURCES.
uvSetUV coordinate set. Value must be between in range [0; 8)

◆ setTransparency()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setTransparency ( float  transparency,
TransparencyModes  mode = Transparent,
bool  useAlphaFromTextures = true,
bool  changeBlendblock = true 
)

Makes the material transparent, and sets the amount of transparency.

Parameters
transparencyValue in range [0; 1] where 0 = full transparency and 1 = fully opaque.
modesee TransparencyModes
useAlphaFromTexturesWhen false, the alpha channel of the diffuse maps and detail maps will be ignored. It's a GPU performance optimization.
changeBlendblockWhen true, the routine prepares the ideal blendblock to use according to the selected mode. When false, the user is expected to change the blendblock manually before calling this function to prevent false warnings. Useful for advanced experiments or artistic license.

◆ setTwoSidedLighting()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setTwoSidedLighting ( bool  twoSided,
bool  changeMacroblock = true,
CullingMode  oneSidedShadowCast = CULL_NONE 
)

Allows support for two sided lighting.

Disabled by default (faster)

Remarks
Changing this parameter will cause a flushRenderables
Parameters
twoSidedWhether to enable or disable.
changeMacroblockWhether to change the current macroblock for one that has cullingMode = CULL_NONE or set it to false to leave the current macroblock as is.
oneSidedShadowCastIf changeMacroblock == true; this parameter controls the culling mode of the shadow caster. While oneSidedShadowCast == CULL_NONE is usually the "correct" option, setting oneSidedShadowCast=CULL_ANTICLOCKWISE can prevent ugly self-shadowing on interiors.

◆ setUseDiffuseMapAsGrayscale()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setUseDiffuseMapAsGrayscale ( bool  bUseDiffuseMapAsGrayscale)

When set, it treats the diffuse map as a grayscale map; which means it will spread red component to all rgb channels.

Remarks
With this option you can use PFG_R8_UNORM for diffuse map in the same way as old PF_L8 format

◆ setUseEmissiveAsLightmap()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setUseEmissiveAsLightmap ( bool  bUseEmissiveAsLightmap)

When set, it treats the emissive map as a lightmap; which means it will be multiplied against the diffuse component.

Remarks
Note that HlmsPbsDatablock::setEmissive still applies, thus set it to 1 to avoid surprises.

◆ setUserValue()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setUserValue ( uint8  userValueIdx,
const Vector4 value 
)

Sets the value of the userValue, this can be used in a custom piece.

Parameters
userValueIdxWhich userValue to modify, in the range [0; 3)

◆ setWorkflow()

void Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::setWorkflow ( Workflows  workflow)

Sets whether to use a specular workflow, or a metallic workflow.

Remarks
The texture types PBSM_SPECULAR & PBSM_METALLIC map to the same value.
When in metal workflow, the texture is used as a metallic texture, and is expected to be a monochrome texture. Global specularity's strength can still be affected via setSpecular. The fresnel settings should not be used (metalness is stored where fresnel used to).
When in specular workflow, the texture is used as a specular texture, and is expected to be either coloured or monochrome. setMetalness should not be called in this mode.
If "workflow" was different from the current setting, it will call HlmsDatablock::flushRenderables. If the another shader must be created, it could cause a stall.
Parameters
bEnableMetallic

◆ suggestFiltersForType()

uint32 Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::suggestFiltersForType ( PbsTextureTypes  type) const

◆ suggestUsingSRGB()

bool Ogre::HlmsPbsDatablock::suggestUsingSRGB ( PbsTextureTypes  type) const

Suggests the TextureMapType (aka texture category) for each type of texture (i.e.

normals should load from TEXTURE_TYPE_NORMALS).

Remarks
Remember that if "myTexture" was loaded as TEXTURE_TYPE_DIFFUSE and then you try to load it as TEXTURE_TYPE_NORMALS, the first one will prevail until it's removed. You could create an alias however, and thus have two copies of the same texture with different loading parameters.
