Remarks
Material output expression for writing advanced volumetric material properties.
Variables
| Type | Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
bool | bClampMultiScatteringContribution | Set whether multiple scattering contribution entry is clamped in [0,1] or not. |
 |
bool | bGrayScaleMaterial | Set this for the material to only be considered grey scale, only using the R chanel of the input parameters internally. |
 |
bool | bGroundContribution | Sample the shadowed lighting contribution from the ground onto the medium (single scattering). |
 |
bool | bRayMarchVolumeShadow | Disable this to use the cloud shadow map instead of secondary raymarching. |
 |
FExpressionInput | ConservativeDensity | This is a 3-components float vector. |
 |
float | ConstMultiScatteringContribution | Only used if MultiScatteringContribution is not hooked up. |
 |
float | ConstMultiScatteringEccentricity | Only used if MultiScatteringEccentricity is not hooked up. |
 |
float | ConstMultiScatteringOcclusion | Only used if MultiScatteringOcclusion is not hooked up. |
 |
float | ConstPhaseBlend | Only used if PhaseBlend is not hooked up. |
 |
float | ConstPhaseG | Only used if PhaseG is not hooked up. |
 |
float | ConstPhaseG2 | Only used if PhaseG2 is not hooked up. |
 |
uint32 | MultiScatteringApproximationOctaveCount | How many octave to use for the multiple-scattering approximation. |
 |
FExpressionInput | MultiScatteringContribution | Multi-scattering approximation: represents how much contribution each successive octave will add. |
 |
FExpressionInput | MultiScatteringEccentricity | Multi-scattering approximation: represents how much the phase will become isotropic for each successive octave. |
 |
FExpressionInput | MultiScatteringOcclusion | Multi-scattering approximation: represents how much occlusion will be reduced for each successive octave. |
 |
bool | PerSamplePhaseEvaluation | Set this to true to force the phase function to be evaluated per sample, instead once per pixel (globally). |
 |
FExpressionInput | PhaseBlend | Lerp factor when blending the two phase functions parameterized by G and G2. Valid range is [0,1]. |
 |
FExpressionInput | PhaseG | Parameter 'g' input to the phase function describing how much forward(g<0) or backward (g>0) light scatter around. |
 |
FExpressionInput | PhaseG2 | Parameter 'g' input to the second phase function describing how much forward(g<0) or backward (g>0) light scatter around. |
