blendFactor 659

The blendConstantList property works only when the blendSource property of the

corresponding texture layer is set to

#constant.

The range of this property is 0 to 100; the default is 50.

Example

In this example, the shader list of the model named MysteryBox contains six shaders. This

statement shows the

blendConstant property of each of the textures used by the second shader.

This property is affected by the settings of the

blendFunction, blendFunctionList,

blendSource, and blendSourceList properties.

put member("Level2").model("MysteryBox").shaderList[2].\

blendConstantList

-- [20.0000, 50.0000, 50.0000, 50.0000, 20.0000, 50.0000, \

50.0000, 50.0000]

Usage

member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).keyframePlayer.\

blendFactor

member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).bonesPlayer.blendFactor

Description

3D keyframePlayer and bonesPlayer modifier property; indicates the amount by which a

motion is combined with the motion that preceded it.

The range of this property is 0 to 100, and the default value is 0.

BlendFactor is used only when the autoblend property of the modifier is set to FALSE. If the

value of the

blendFactor property is 100, the current motion will have none of the

characteristics of the motion that preceded it. If the value of

blendFactor is 0, the current

motion will have all of the characteristics of the motion that preceded it and none of its own. If

the value of

blendFactor is 50, the current motion will be a synthesis equally composed of its

own characteristics and those of the motion that preceded it. The value blendFactor can be

varied over time to create transitions unlike the linear transition created when the modifier’s

autoblend property is set to TRUE.

Example

This statement sets the blendFactor property of model Alien3 to 50. If the modifier’s

autoblend property is FALSE, each motion in the playlist of the keyframePlayer for Alien3 will

be an even mixture of itself and the motion that preceded it.

member("newaliens").model("Alien3").keyframePlayer.blendFactor = 50
