Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Crease Angle | Sets the maximum face weighting for smooth shading. Range is 0 to 180. |
| Face Normal Weight | Specifies the weight given to each normal. Range is 0 to 1. |
| Texture Attributes Channel of Normal Map | Specifies the texture coordinates channel of the normal map, if a <Texture> node is used to specify the normal map. |
| Normal Attributes Channel ( for the Normal ) | Specifies the <AddChannelModifier> into which this modifier assigns computed normal values. The <AddChannelModifier> must be of attribute type 'Normal'. |
| Normal Attributes Channel ( for the Tangent ) | Specifies the <AddChannelModifier> into which this modifier assigns computed tangent values. The <AddChannelModifier> must be of attribute type 'Normal'. |
| Normal Attributes Channel ( for the Binormal ) | Specifies the <AddChannelModifier> into which this modifier assigns computed binormal values. The <AddChannelModifier> must be of attribute type 'Normal'. |
Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Determines whether or not the modifier is enabled. |
Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Name | Sets orthe name of the node. Do not use / or \ [forward slash and backslash] in the node name as this produces conflicts with resolving link nodes that reference external files. |
| Class | Sets the class of the node. |
| ID | Sets the ID of the node. This must be unique for each document, but different documents can use the same ID. |
| Import Disabled | Determines whether or not the node is imported during an import process such as when nodes are imported from a template during document creation. Note that this flag is mostly in Simdify Scripting language. |
| Export Disabled | Determines whether or not the node is exported during an export process, or possibly other purposes. This flag is set to No and current Simdify exporters ignore it (but it can be very useful if you need to modify the exporters). |
| Guid | Enumerates the Node's GUID. |
