siRenderChannelType

Introduced

6.0

Description

Types of data allowed for render channels. All channel types, apart from the custom type, are interpreted by Softimage for display viewing.

Constant

Value

Description

siRenderChannelUnknownType

0

Unknown type. Only used as a return value in the case of an error.

siRenderChannelColorType

1

Data is interpreted as a pre-multiplied RGB color image with an optional alpha channel. If no alpha is provided, the image is treated as fully opaque.

siRenderChannelGrayscaleType

2

Data is interpreted as a single channel linear grayscale image.

siRenderChannelDepthType

3

Data is interpreted as a single channel depth image, where a value of 0 indicates infinity and positive values increasing distance from the camera.

siRenderChannelNormalVectorType

4

Data is interpreted as a three-channel, XYZ normalized vector.

siRenderChannelVectorType

5

Data is interpreted as a three-channel, arbitrary XYZ vector or point in space.

siRenderChannelLabelType

6

Data is interpreted as a single-channel, unique identifier value for each closest object visible to the camera.

siRenderChannelCustomType

0x80000000

Defines a special channel which is not interpreted in any way by Softimage and therefore cannot be displayed when used as a definition for render channels. The value itself is a composite of the enumerator value plus the lower 16-bits, which define the channel count.
