Common (shared) Properties
| position |
vector |
The position of the object. (Default: (0, 0, 0) ) |
| rotation |
ordered pair |
The rotation of the object, described as an ordered pair of angles
(in degrees) around the three axis. An ordered pair of (x,
y, z) corresponds to a rotation of x degrees around
the x-axis, y degrees around the y-axis, and z degrees around
the z-axis. (Default: (0, 0, 0) ) |
| size |
number | order pair |
Specifies the size of the object according to the ordered pair (x,
y, z) which multplies the x component by x, the y
component by y and the z component by z. A number is
equivalent to (n, n, n). (Default: (1, 1, 1)
) |
| color |
color |
The color of the object. (Default: (255, 255, 255) (white)) |
| texture |
string |
An image to be used as a texture for the object |
| texture_position |
ordered pair |
Provides an offset for the upper left corner of the texture. (Default: (0, 0)) |
| texture_size |
number | ordered pair |
Provides a scaling factor (s, t) for this texture, where s is the horizontal axis of the texture and t is the vertical axis. If a scalar value is given, scaling factors in both the s and t directions will be the same. (Default: (1, 1)) |
| texture_rotation |
number |
Provides a rotation (in degrees) for the texture. (Default: 0) |
| transparency |
number |
Value between 0.0 and 1.0 specifying how transparent the object is;
0 is opaque and 1 is completely transparent (invisible). (Default:
0) |
| reflectivity |
number |
Value between 0.0 and 1.0 specifying how reflective the object is;
0 is not at all reflective, 1 is completely reflective. (Default:
0) |
| shininess |
number |
Value between 0.0 and 1.0 specifying how shiny the object is, that
is, how broad is the specular reflection. 0 is not shiny at all (e.g.
a piece of plate glass: either you see the light reflected over the
entire glass or over none of it) and 1 is extremely shiny (e.g. the back
side of a silver spoon: the light is one little speck). Shininess
is generally what makes rendered lifeforms look plastic, since most real
things cannot be modelled solely with shininess. Note that this is
not the same as reflectivity, although they generally go together.
(Default: .2) |
| accuracy |
number | pair |
An ordered pair (u, v) controlling the number of polygons
in the object. u and v are accuracy multipliers;
the number of polygons in the u-direction of the object will be u
times the original number of polygons. If a number is used it is
the same as specifying (n, n). Note that not all objects
can or do modify their polygon counts, but the most important ones (anything
based on NURBS) will. (Default: (100%, 100%)) |
| name |
string |
The name of the object. This does not need to be unique among
all objects in the engine, but is helpful to have the names be unique within
a composite objects. (Default: automatically generated) |
Common (shared) Flags
| FloatingObjectX |
The object's x position will change as the viewer's x
position changes |
| FloatingObjectY |
The object's y position will change as the viewer's y
position changes |
| FloatingObjectZ |
The object's z position will change as the viewer's z
position changes |
| NoDraw |
The object will not be drawn. Useful for not drawing objects
that exist only so that other objects can reference them, most NURBSCurve
objects, for example |
| WireMesh |
Draw the object as a wire mesh |
| Debug |
May draw additional debug items |
