UsdInstanceGeometry

reverse_normals

Bool
default: False

enable to reverse the normals in the geometry

side_type

Int enum
  0 = “force two-sided” (default)
  1 = “force single-sided”
  2 = “use mesh sidedness”

set single sidedness of the mesh, will affect the visibility of the mesh based on normal direction

disable_indices

IntVector
default: {}

A list of index values to hide / disable. For example, with 4 instances you can supply a list of 0, 2 to disable those instances. If an index in this list is out of range, it is ignored.

instance_level

Int enum
  0 = “instance level 0” (default)
  1 = “instance level 1”
  2 = “instance level 2”
  3 = “instance level 3”
  4 = “instance level 4”

Sets the level/depth of this instance. This adds a Mat4f primitive attribute to the geometry which can be referenced during shading to use the local space of each instance. The name of the primitive attribute corresponds the the instance level that is set (i.e. "instance_level_0", "instance_level_1", etc)

use_reference_attributes

Bool
default: True

Use the geometry attributes of the reference (prototype) instead of the ones on the InstanceGeometry. Currently only works for shadow_ray_epsilon

use_reference_xforms

Bool
default: True

Transform the reference (prototype) geometry by it's node_xform parameter before applying the instance transform

label

String
default:

label used in material aov expresssions

shadow_receiver_label

String
default:

Label used to associate Geometry objects into ShadowReceiverSets. Using this in combination with the ["shadow_exclusion_mappings"] attribute, shadows from specified geometries or their parts can be suppressed from casting shadows onto one or more specified sets.

curved_motion_blur_sample_count

Int
default: 10

Number of time samples generated along each curve when using curved motion blur

motion_blur_type

Int enum
  -1 = “best” (default)
  0 = “static”
  1 = “velocity”
  2 = “frame delta”
  3 = “acceleration”
  4 = “hermite”

Motion blur type for PolygonMesh/Points/Curves.
"static" will treat the mesh as static.
"velocity" will blur using the supplied vertex positions and velocities.
"frame delta" will interpolate between the two supplied vertex positions.
"acceleration" will blur using the supplied vertex positions, velocities and accelerations.
"hermite" will use supplied pair of positions and pair of velocities to interpolate along a cubic Hermite curve.
"best" will use choose the method which provides the highest quality given the available data.

primitive_attribute_frame

Int enum
  0 = “first motion step”
  1 = “second motion step”
  2 = “both motion steps” (default)

Which frame(s) do we take the primitive attributes from?
 O : first motion step
 1 : second motion step
 2 : both motion steps

use_rotation_motion_blur

Bool
default: False

If "xform" is time varying and motion blur is enabled, enabling this feature can produce a curved rotation trail. Enabling this feature will disable adaptive tessellation for this mesh

ray_epsilon

Float
default: 0.0

When a secondary ray is fired, anything within this distance of the intersection point will be ignored. Instead, it is considered part of the current intersection's geometry. If zero, an automatically calculated epsilon will be used.

shadow_ray_epsilon

Float
default: 0.0

When a shadow ray is fired, anything within this distance of the intersection point will be ignored. If this value is less than "ray_epsilon", then it has no additional effect.

evaluation_frame

Float
default: 1.0

Evaluates geometry at the specified frame instead of SceneVariables frame

use_evaluation_frame

Bool
default: False

Uses "evaluation frame" instead of SceneVariables frame

point_instancer_path

String
default:

The point instancer to load from the USD Stage

stage

String filename
default:

USD Stage to load containing the point instancer

use_stage_cache

Bool
default: False

Load the entire stage and use StageCache to share it among all UsdInstanceGeometry objects.
If this is false, load a stage masked to the prim path just for this UsdInstanceGeometry.
For large stages with thousands of unique assets, it is faster to enable the stage cache.

primitive_attributes

UserData Vector
default: {}

A list of UserData to specify arbitrary primitive attributes(For example, color or roughness multiplier) per-instance

visible_diffuse_reflection

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry is visible in diffuse reflection

visible_diffuse_transmission

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry is visible in diffuse transmission

visible_glossy_reflection

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry is visible in glossy reflection.

visible_glossy_transmission

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry is visible in glossy transmission (refraction).

visible_in_camera

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry is visible to camera rays

visible_mirror_reflection

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry is visible in miror reflection.

visible_mirror_transmission

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry is visible in miror transmission (refraction).

visible_shadow

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry casts shadows

visible_volume

Bool
default: True

whether the geometry is visible in indirect volume rays

contains_camera

Bool
default: False

Specifies whether the geometry contains the camera and should be used for IOR tracking. This should not be changed by the user -- they should instead attach the relevant geometry to the camera, which will then flag this geometry.

dicing_camera

SceneObject
default: None

Alternate camera that is used for adaptive tessellation. This is useful if you want adaptive tessellation to behave consistently in a sequence, regardless of what the main camera is doing

node_xform

Mat4d blurrable
default: [ [ 1, 0, 0, 0 ], [ 0, 1, 0, 0 ], [ 0, 0, 1, 0 ], [ 0, 0, 0, 1 ] ]

The 4x4 matrix describing the transformation from local space to world space.

references

Geometry Vector
default: {}

list of geometries that geometry procedural can reference during procedural generate/update stages. For example, an instancer geometry procedural can instance primitives generated by the reference geometry procedural.

shadow_exclusion_mappings

String
default:

A space-separated list of mappings of the form A:B where:
A is a comma-separated list of names of parts of this Geometry, or an asterisk to specify the whole geometry;
B is a comma-separated list of shadow receiver set labels established using the ["shadow_receiver_label"] attribute, or an asterisk to specify to all such sets in the scene.
For each of the listed mappings, shadows from the parts specified in A will be suppressed from casting onto any geometries in the ShadowReceiverSets specified in B.
**Note: no part name should appear more than once in the string, otherwise the behavior is undefined.**

static

Bool
default: True

disable if the geometry will be updated between frames

use_explicit_shading_attributes

Bool
default: False

Enable the use of explicit shading attributes (N, dPds, dPdt) if they are present

use_local_camera_motion_blur

Bool
default: False

Enables experimental feature that also attempts to remove the camera blur in the local regions

use_local_motion_blur

Bool
default: False

Enables the local motion blur feature, which makes the geometry procedural responsible for handling all of the geometry's motion and allows for custom effects
