CookieLightFilter

Overview Permalink to Overview

Why the name? Cookie is a nickname for Cucoloris - a device used in live action lighting to create shadow patterns.

The cookie light filter projects a pattern from either an orthographic or perspective camera. The filter takes as its input a Moonray map shader, so any of the image generators, noise, checkerboard, image map will work.


Cookie light filter.	Example render using the light filter.


Orthographic projection.	Example render using orthographic projection.


Perspective projection.	Example render using perspective projection.

The cookie texture inherits the wrap mode on the map shader, e.g. “extend” or “repeat”:


“extend” wrap mode.	“repeat” wrap mode.

outside_projection Permalink to outside_projection

Int enum
  0 = “black” (default)
  1 = “white”
  2 = “default”

projector Permalink to projector

Camera
default: None

If a projector is specified, it overrides the node_xform and projector_* attributes

texture_map Permalink to texture_map

Map
default: None

Moonray map. Any Moonray map generator, checkerboard, noise, image map. You may also add any of the map modifiers, color correct for example. The default is an image map.
