GradientEnd
F32 = 0.800000011920929 Height at which the shadow is weakest, as a fraction of ModelHeight.
ShadowGradientRenderData
Class Documentation
Edit documentationThe shadow gradient of a skin: it makes the shadow of the sun weaker on the upper
part of a character. The client sends the three values to the character pixel
shaders as the constant SHADOW_GRADIENT.
s = shadow of the sun at the pixel, 0 (in shadow) to 1 (lit)
t = smoothstep(GradientStart, GradientEnd, height)
shadow = s + t * (1 - s) * (1 - ShadowFactor)
height is the height of the vertex in the bind pose, as a fraction of the
ModelHeight of the skin, limited to the range 0 to 1.
- Below
GradientStartthe shadow is unchanged. - Above
GradientEndthe darkness of the shadow is multiplied byShadowFactor. With the default 0.3, a fully shadowed pixel gets 70% of the sun light. - Between the two heights the client blends smoothly.
The result is the shadow that the character sun light uses. The
map rim light uses the same result through its
SunShadowBlendWeight.
Where the value comes from. The class is a value inside the object that also
holds RimOffset and ModelHeight. A skin refers to that object from
SkinMeshDataProperties, and a material override
of the skin can refer to its own. For each submesh the client uses the object of the
submesh if there is one, and the object of the skin otherwise.
If neither exists, the client sends ShadowFactor 1, GradientStart 0 and
GradientEnd 1, and the shadow is unchanged at every height. The defaults of this
class (0.3, 0.65, 0.8) apply only to a skin that has the object.
Properties
GradientStart
F32 = 0.6499999761581421 Height at which the shadow starts to weaken, as a fraction of ModelHeight.
ShadowFactor
F32 = 0.30000001192092896 Part of the shadow darkness that remains above GradientEnd. 1 leaves the shadow
unchanged at every height. 0 removes the shadow above GradientEnd.
