Detailed Description

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

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum siRenderChannelType

Enumerator:
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.
