SoPostEffectGlow¶

InventorModule¶

author	`MeVis Medical Solutions AG`
package	`MeVisLab/Standard`
dll	`SoRenderers`
definition	SoRenderers.def

Purpose¶

The SoPostEffectGlow module renders a glow effect for the SoPostEffectRenderer module.

By default, it uses the emissive color to render glows. It can also be configured to render glows for bright color buffer areas that are above a given luminance threshold.

Parameter Fields¶

Field Index¶

`Blend Mode`: `Enum`	`Resize Mode`: `Enum`
`Blur Iterations`: `Integer`	`Sample Distance`: `Float`
`Blur Kernel Size`: `Integer`	`Scene Glow`: `Bool`
`Emissive Glow`: `Bool`	`Scene Glow Threshold`: `Float`
`emissiveBufferName`: `String`	`sceneGlowBufferName`: `String`
`Enabled`: `Bool`
`Intensity`: `Float`
`outputBufferName`: `String`

Visible Fields¶

Enabled¶

name: enabled, type: Bool, default: TRUE¶: If checked, the effect is enabled.

Emissive Glow¶

name: emissiveGlow, type: Bool, default: TRUE¶: If checked, glowing via the emissive colors is enabled. See SoMaterial on how to specify an emissive color.

Scene Glow¶

name: sceneGlow, type: Bool, default: TRUE¶: If checked, glowing of bright color buffer areas (e.g., bright reflections) is enabled.

Scene Glow Threshold¶

name: sceneGlowThreshold, type: Float, default: 0.89999998¶: Sets the luminance threshold that causes glowing. Colors in the color buffer that are above this luminance threshold will glow.

Blur Kernel Size¶

name: blurKernelSize, type: Integer, default: 32, minimum: 3, maximum: 32¶: Sets the blur kernel size of the glow.

Sample Distance¶

name: sampleDistance, type: Float, default: 1, minimum: 1, maximum: 32¶: Sets the sample distance of the blur. Larger values give a larger blur but will cause lower quality.

Blur Iterations¶

name: blurIterations, type: Integer, default: 1, minimum: 1, maximum: 32¶: Sets the number of blur iterations, each with growing sample distance.

Intensity¶

name: intensity, type: Float, default: 1, minimum: 0, maximum: 5¶: Sets the intensity of the glow.

Resize Mode¶

name: resizeMode, type: Enum, default: Average2x2¶: Defines the downsampling mode for the glow buffer.

Values:

Title	Name
Average2x2	Average2x2
Average3x3	Average3x3
Average4x4	Average4x4

Blend Mode¶

name: blendMode, type: Enum, default: Screen¶: Defines the blend mode.
