Description

3D modifier; once you have added the #inker modifier to a model resource (using

addModifier) you can get and set #inker modifier properties.

The

#inker modifier adds silhouettes, creases, and boundary edges to an existing model; the

#inker properties allow you to control the definition and emphasis of these properties.

When the

#inker modifier is used in conjunction with the #toon modifier, the rendered effect is

cumulative and varies depending on which modifier was first applied. The list of modifiers

returned by the

modifier property will list #inker or #toon (whichever was added first), but not

both. The

#inker modifier can not be used in conjunction with the #sds modifier.

The

#inker modifier has the following properties:

• lineColor allows you to get or set the color of lines drawn by the inker.

• silhouettes allows you to get or set whether lines are drawn to define the edges along the

border of a model, outlining its shape.

• creases allows you to get or set whether lines are drawn in creases.

• creaseAngle allows you to get or set the sensitivity of crease angle detection for the inker.

• boundary allows you to get or set whether lines are drawn around the boundary of the surface.

• lineOffset allows you to get or set where lines are drawn relative to the surface being shaded

and the camera.

• useLineOffset allows you to get or set whether lineOffset is on or off.

Note: For more detailed information about the following properties see the individual property

entries.
