Public Attributes#

Type	Name	Visual Hint	Description
`string`	`filename`	`VISUAL_HINT_FILENAME_OPEN`	File path.
`long`	`compression_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set whether data memory compression mode. Compression allows to save memory and should always be enabled. However in some very rare cases, it may slightly degrade the data. When this happens you can set the compression to Disable. If Compression is set to Automatic, compression is only performed if data degradation is minor. Automatic compression requires some extra processing which is why it is disabled by default.

`reference` (`Material`)	`override_material`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Setting a material here will set the specified material to all elements of the scene object. Ex: all shading groups of a geometry will have the same material. Ex: all elements of a combiner or a scatterer will have the same material.
`bool`	`matte_object`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Switch the object to 2D matte mode.
`double[3]`	`matte_color`	`VISUAL_HINT_COLOR`	Set the color of the object in matte mode.
`double`	`matte_alpha`	`VISUAL_HINT_PERCENTAGE`	Set the opacity of the object in matte mode. When the matte alpha is less than 100%, the object creates a hole in the layer as no transparency is evaluated.
`long`	`custom_id`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`
`double`	`raytrace_offset`	`VISUAL_HINT_DISTANCE`	Set the minimum distance for raytracing visibility. If the ray hit point distance from the ray source position is smaller than this value, then the geometry is not seen. Note: this attribute is used to prevent self intersection artifacts.

`bool`	`cast_shadows`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set whether the object casts shadows or not.
`bool`	`receive_shadows`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set whether the object receives cast shadows or not.
`bool`	`receive_self_shadows`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set whether the object receives self shadows or not.
`reference` (`Group`)	`lights`	`VISUAL_HINT_GROUP`	Specify the group of lights that illuminate this object. By default, scene objects are lit using the lights gathered by the 3D layer.
`bool`	`enable_emission_importance_sampling`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Specify whether emission importance sampling is enabled on the scene object. This attribute is ignored when emission importance sampling is disabled in the renderer.
`long`	`emission_sample_count`	`VISUAL_HINT_SAMPLE_PER_PIXEL`	Override the number of emission samples allocated by the renderer when sampling the scene object.
`long`	`emission_texture_importance_sampling`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	When None, no texture importance sampling is performed. When Color, Emission Color input textures of all materials assigned to the scene object are importance sampled. This mode should be used when only the Emission Color of the material is textured which is typically the case when using an HDR texture encoding both color and intensity. When Weight, Emission Weight input textures of all the materials assigned to the scene object are importance sampled. This mode can be useful when you explicitly want to vary the color texture according to a spatial projection based on the position of the instance such as world projections, texture switch or instance color for example. Please note that setting this mode while texturing Emission Color can lead to a degradation of the quality of the importance sampling if the intensity/weight component is encoded to the color textures. When Both, both Emission Color and Emission Weight input textures of all the materials assigned to the scene object are importance sampled. This mode should be used when using specific textures for Emission Color and Emission Weight.
`object[]` (`Deformer`)	`deformers`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	List of deformation that will be applied on the geometry.
`double`	`smoothing_approximation`	`VISUAL_HINT_PERCENTAGE`	Controls how much the smoothing must be approximated during the shading. This influences the origin of secondary rays casted from the surface. A value of 0% corresponds to the position that has been found during the raytracing and a value of 100% corresponds to the theoretical position on the smoothed surface.
`long`	`displacement_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Control whether the displacement must compute bump, tessellation or both.
`long`	`displacement_storage_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Define if displacement favors render time or memory used to generate it.
`long`	`displacement_tessellation_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Control the generation of the tessellation used for the micro displacement. Adaptive modes try to compute the tessellation level according to the size of the primitives whereas the uniform mode generates the same tessellation on all primitives. For the adaptive modes, it is possible to choose if the tessellation level has to be computed on the base geometry or on the deformed one.
`long`	`displacement_adaptive_span_count`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Control the number of spans for the adaptive tessellation. This value corresponds to the number of spans on the bounding box of the geometry.
`long`	`displacement_uniform_span_count`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Control the number of spans for the uniform tessellation. This value corresponds to the number of spans on each primitive.
`long`	`displacement_triangulation_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Define on which geometry the micro-facets triangulation is computed.
`long`	`displacement_stitching_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Control the stitching between primitives. The stitching only affects values of the displacement so it doesn't work if the geometry has discontinuities on normals.
`long`	`smoothing_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Define the normals that are used. If the mesh doesn't define any normal map or if a normal is not defined in the first normal map, the normal used is the one computed with the smoothing angle.
`double`	`smoothing_angle`	`VISUAL_HINT_ANGLE`	Set the limit angle between two adjacent faces under which the edge is considered as smooth.
`bool`	`enable_subdivision_surface`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Enable the subdivision of the polygons that compose the mesh.
`long`	`subdivision_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Choose wich mode to use to enable the subdivision of the polygons that compose the mesh.
`long`	`raytrace_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Define how the subdivision is interpreted by the raytracer. A fixed tessellation generates a real mesh that is stored in memory. The tessellation on the fly generates the tessellation locally for each ray which avoids storing anything in memory. The evaluate surface mode tries to compute the exact intersection with the smooth surface (infinite tessellation). The fixed tessellation is usually faster than other modes but uses more memory.
`long`	`raytrace_tessellation_level`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set the level of the tessellation. Higher it is, smaller the polygons are. This parameter has no effect when the raytrace mode is set on evaluate surface.
`long`	`geometry_interpolation`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Define how the interpolation of the vertices is done for the geometry. Here one can specify if the original vertices of the mesh should be smoothed or not. It is possible to disable the smoothing for all the vertices (linear), only for the vertices form the borders or only the corners.
`long`	`uv_interpolation`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Define how the interpolation of the vertices is done for the UV maps. Here one can specify if the original vertices of the mesh should be smoothed or not. It is possible to disable the smoothing for all the vertices (linear), only for the vertices form the borders or only the corners. It is also possible to control it along the discontinuities between the UV maps and the geometry.
`long`	`boundary_interpolation`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Controls how boundary edges and vertices are interpolated.
`long`	`property_interpolation`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Controls how the maps are interpolated.
`long`	`subdivision_level_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Define the raytrace tessellation mode. 'Fixed' uses 'Raytrace Tessellation Level'. 'Use Property' reads the value of the property 'Subdivision Level Property' to set the tessellation level. Note this property must be set to a scalar type. If there isn't any valid property it falls back to the value set in 'Raytrace Tessellation Level'.
`string`	`subdivision_level_property`	`VISUAL_HINT_TAG`	Set the level of tessellation using a scalar property.
`long`	`property_driven_subdivision_offset`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Increase or decrease the level of tessellation by this offset.
`long`	`property_driven_min_subdivision`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set the minimum level of tessellation.
`long`	`property_driven_max_subdivision`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set the max level of tessellation.
`long`	`crease_mode`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Define the algorithm use for the creases
`bool`	`activate_crease_driven_subdivision`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	When activated, use the maximum crease level defined on the object to set the tessellation level. If no crease is defined, the tessellation level uses the scalar Subdivision Level Property if it exists otherwise it uses the value set in 'Raytrace Tessellation Level'.
`long`	`crease_driven_subdivision_offset`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Increase or decrease the level of tessellation by this offset.
`long`	`crease_driven_min_subdivision`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set the minimum level of tessellation.
`long`	`crease_driven_max_subdivision`	`VISUAL_HINT_DEFAULT`	Set the max level of tessellation.
