On surface
A node of the Scene graph.
Spreads objects of what it is handed over a thing's surface, by area and seeded — only on its tops, or everywhere.
Takes: objects (objects), of (text), count (number), seed (number), up (on-off), tilt (number) · Gives: objects
Settings
| Setting | What it does | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
Overof | Which thing's surface. | text | model |
How manycount | How many objects. | 1 to 4096 | 16 |
| Seed | Changes the pattern without changing anything else. | 0 to 99999 | 1 |
Tops onlyup | Only where the surface faces up. | on or off | true |
Leantilt | How far each copy leans with the ground it stands on. | 0 to 1 | 0 |
Every setting is also an input: wire a value into it to change it per copy. On the command line: pxr graph set game.pixor --which scene --node on-surface --set KEY=VALUE.
What it wires to
Its objects input takes objects, which these give: Attribute, Bevel, Chunks, Clouds, Difference, Displace, Drop to ground, Effect, Foliage, Grid, Height field, Import, and 32 more.
What it gives, objects, goes into: Attribute, Bevel, Chunks, Clouds, Difference, Displace, Drop to ground, Effect, Foliage, Grid, Height field, Item, and 30 more.
In the app, drag a wire from one of its dots: every dot the wire fits is ringed.
How it fits with the rest: the Scene graph in the manual.
