Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Translation | Sets the amount of displacement along the Z axis. Range is -100,000,000 to 100,000,000. |
| Displacement File | Links the modifier to a .DEM, .BMP, or .TGA file on the hard disk. |
| Starting Corner X | Sets the X starting pixel of the displacement inside the imagery. You might only want to use a specific region of the imagery or you might want to start at 0,0,0. |
| Starting Corner Y | Sets the Y starting pixel of the displacement inside the imagery. You might only want to use a specific region of the imagery or you might want to start at 0,0,0. |
| Displacement Width In Pixels | Sets the width ( X ) of the displacement region in pixels, relative to Starting Corner X. |
| Displacement Length In Pixels | Sets the length ( Y ) of the displacement region in pixels, relative to Starting Corner Y. |
| Use 24-bit Elevation Data | Allows you to use a 24-bit image instead of grayscale. This allows for high precision elevation values with a higher dynamic range than gray scale values. |
| Minimum Elevation | Sets the minimum elevation for the terrain. This parameter is rarely configured by hand. |
| Maximum Elevation | Sets the maximum elevation for the terrain. This parameter is rarely configured by hand. |
| Overall Minimum Elevation | Sets the overall minimum elevation for the terrain when imagery is used to displace multiple meshes. This parameter has no effect on the displacement for a single <Mesh>. |
| Overall Maximum Elevation | Sets the overall maximum elevation for the terrain when imagery is used to displace multiple meshes. This parameter has no effect on the displacement for a single <Mesh>. |
| Units Per Pixel X | Sets the X axis spacing between elevation values. This parameter is used to generate normals maps and has no effect on the <Mesh>. This parameter is rarely configured by hand. |
| Units Per Pixel Y | Sets the Y axis spacing between elevation values. This parameter is used to generate normals maps and has no effect on the <Mesh>. This parameter is rarely configured by hand. |
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. |
