blendConstantList

Syntax

member(whichCastmember).shader(whichShader).blendConstantList

member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shader.blendConstant\

List{[index]}

member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).shaderList{[index]}.\

blendConstantList{[index]}

Description

3D #standard shader property; indicates the ratio used for blending a texture layer of the shader

with the texture layer below it.

The shader’s texture list and the blend constant list both have eight index positions. Each index

position in the blend constant list controls blending for the texture at the corresponding index

position in the texture list. You can set all index positions of the list to the same value at one time

by not specifying the optional

index parameter. Use the index parameter to set the list one index

position at a time.

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.
