Surface Color VEX node

Generates a basic color with a choice of tinting with the point color and/or a color map.

This vop allows the user to choose between several different color combinations. There are options to use the point color or point alpha attributes as well as a color map or base color. With this vop the UI is already correctly setup.

Inputs

useBaseColor	If this toggle is off, the baseColor is ignored. Defaults to on. If useBaseColor, usePointColor and useColorMap are all off, the output color is white.
baseColor	This is the main output color for the material. Defaults to white.
usePointColor	If this toggle is on and a point color, (Cd), is defined, then that color is multiplied with the baseColor. Defaults to on. If useBaseColor, usePointColor and useColorMap are all off, the output color is white.
useColorMap	If this toggle is on, the specified texture map is multiplied by the baseColor. Defaults to off. If useBaseColor, _usePointColor and _useColorMap are all off, the output color is white.
baseColorMap	This the name of the image file to be used as the color texture. This parameter recognizes a map that has an alpha channel and will add the alpha values to the alpha output of the vop. If no alpha channel exists in the map, then a default alpha of 1 is used.
colorMapWrap	Determines what the texture looks like when the texture coordinates are larger or less than 0 to 1. The options are: Repeat means the texture will repeat (tile). Streak means the texture color at the edges is clamped and streaks outside the map. Decal sets the color outside the texture map to the Border Color. See texture for more information.
colorMapFilter	Type of anti-aliasing filter used. See texture for more information.
colorMapWidth	Filter Width is the number of pixels, in both u and v directions, to use in filtering. See texture for more information.
colorMapBorder	The color used outside the map if Decal Wrap is selected. See texture for more information.
scoord	U coordinate (or global s)
tcoord	V coordinate (or global t)
usePointAlpha	If this toggle is on and a point alpha, (Alpha), is defined, then that alpha is multiplied with the alpha of the texture map (if one is used). Defaults to on. If usePointAlpha and useColorMap are all off, the output alpha is white.
colorMapIntensity	This is a float parameter which can be used to scale the effect that the color map will have on the color output from this vop. A value of 0 will provide a similar result to not using a map at all.

Output

color	The resultant color from the Base Color, Color Map, and Point Color processing.
alpha	The resultant alpha from the Color Map and Point Alpha processing.
