Detailed Description

This is the Transparency Class.

Member Enumeration Documentation

Algorithm

enum HPS::Transparency::Algorithm : uint32_t

strong

Transparency Algorithm.

Enumerator
None	No sorting will be performed, but transparent objects will be deferred (drawn on top). If overlapping transparent objects are present the rendering will not be accurate.
Painters	Will produce a completely accurate rendering of transparent objects which are overlapping other transparent objects, but tends to be slow.
ZSortNicest	Sorts every transparent triangle in a shell by its mid-point. This algorithm can result in rendering artifacts at locations where transparent objects intersect with one another.
ZSortFastest	Sorts transparent tristrips in a shell by the mid-point of the entire tristrip. This algorithm can result in rendering artifacts at locations where transparent objects intersect with one another.
DepthPeeling	Non-sorting technique based on multi-pass drawing, and leverages hardware acceleration to quickly produce an accurate rendering. Will give varying accuracy and performance results based on the number of 'layers' that are specified by the user.
WeightedBlended	Non-sorting technique which blends and approximates transparent objects based on the distance from the camera.

AreaUnits

enum HPS::Transparency::AreaUnits : uint32_t

strong

Transparency Area Units.

Enumerator
Percent	Transparency Area Units.
Pixels	Transparency Area Units.

Method

enum HPS::Transparency::Method : uint32_t

strong

Transparency Method.

Enumerator
None	This will disable transparency, overriding all other transparency settings and forcing geometry to be opaque.
Blended	The transparent object will be blended with the color of the underlying object.
ScreenDoor	This is a pseudo-transparency algorithm that sacrifices visual quality to improve performance.

Preference

enum HPS::Transparency::Preference

strong

Transparency Preference.

Enumerator
Nicest	Quality should be favored at the possible cost of performance.
Fastest	Performance should be favored at the possible cost of some loss in image quality.
