Inputs/Outputs

  • cnclst.png Specular —

    Specular specifies the RGBA color value that represents the reflection of direct, specular light off of the object.

  • csgl.png Red —

    Red specifies the red value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Green —

    Green specifies the green value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Blue —

    Blue specifies the blue value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Alpha —

    Alpha specifies the level of opacity. The default value is 0.

  • cnclst.png Ambient —

    Ambient specifies the RGBA color value that indirect, ambient light affects.

  • csgl.png Red —

    Red specifies the red value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Green —

    Green specifies the green value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Blue —

    Blue specifies the blue value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Alpha —

    Alpha specifies the level of opacity. The default value is 0.

  • csobjref.png Scene Object In —

    Scene Object In specifies a reference to the scene you want to manipulate.

  • cenum.png Color Mode —

    Color Mode specifies how the 3D object reacts to light.

    0Inherit Material (default)—The object inherits the color mode of a parent object.
    1Use entire Material—The emissive color of the material and its ambient, diffuse, and specular reflectance values all affect the reaction of the material to a light source.
    2Ignore Ambient—LabVIEW ignores the ambient color and uses the base color of the object in its place.
    3Ignore Diffuse—LabVIEW ignores the diffuse color and uses the base color of the object in its place.
    4Ignore Specular—LabVIEW ignores the specular color and uses the base color of the object in its place.
    5Ignore Emission—LabVIEW ignores the emissive color and uses the base color of the object in its place.
    6Ignore Ambient and Diffuse—LabVIEW ignores the ambient and diffuse colors and uses the base color of the object in their place.
  • csgl.png Shininess —

    Shininess specifies the size of the highlight that appears on the object when light reflects specularly off the object. Shininess can be a value from 0-128. The default is 0.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • cnclst.png Emission —

    Emission specifies the RGBA color value of the emissive light of the object. Emissive light emanates from the object itself instead of an external light source.

  • csgl.png Red —

    Red specifies the red value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Green —

    Green specifies the green value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Blue —

    Blue specifies the blue value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Alpha —

    Alpha specifies the level of opacity. The default value is 0.

  • cnclst.png Diffuse —

    Diffuse specifies the RGBA color value of the lit object. LabVIEW determines the RBGA value based on the angle between the orientation of the object and the direction of the light source.

  • csgl.png Red —

    Red specifies the red value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Green —

    Green specifies the green value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Blue —

    Blue specifies the blue value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Alpha —

    Alpha specifies the level of opacity. The default value is 0.

  • isobjref.png Scene Object Out —

    Scene Object Out returns a reference to the scene object.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
