depth (Bitmap) 729
depth (3D)
Usage
member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).sds.depth
Description
3D subdivision surfaces (sds) modifier property; specifies the maximum number of levels of
resolution that the model can display when using the
sds modifier.
If the
sds modifier’s error and tension settings are low, increasing the depth property will have
a more pronounced effect on the model’s geometry.
The
sds modifier cannot be used with the inker or toon modifiers, and you should be careful
when using the
sds modifier with the lod modifier.
Example
This statement sets the depth property of the sds modifier for the model named Baby to 3. If the
sds modifier’s error and tension settings are low, this will cause a very pronounced effect on
Baby’s geometry.
member("Scene").model("Baby").sds.depth = 3
