Reimplemented from UsdAPISchemaBase.

◆ Apply()

static USDLUX_API UsdLuxShapingAPI Apply ( const UsdPrim prim)
static

Applies this single-apply API schema to the given prim.

This information is stored by adding "ShapingAPI" to the token-valued, listOp metadata apiSchemas on the prim.

Returns
A valid UsdLuxShapingAPI object is returned upon success. An invalid (or empty) UsdLuxShapingAPI object is returned upon failure. See UsdPrim::ApplyAPI() for conditions resulting in failure.

◆ CanApply()

static USDLUX_API bool CanApply ( const UsdPrim prim,
std::string *  whyNot = nullptr 
)
static

Returns true if this single-apply API schema can be applied to the given prim.

If this schema can not be a applied to the prim, this returns false and, if provided, populates whyNot with the reason it can not be applied.

Note that if CanApply returns false, that does not necessarily imply that calling Apply will fail. Callers are expected to call CanApply before calling Apply if they want to ensure that it is valid to apply a schema.

◆ GetShapingConeAngleAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShapingConeAngleAttr ( ) const

Angular limit off the primary axis to restrict the light spread, in degrees.

Light emissions at angles off the primary axis greater than this are guaranteed to be zero, i.e.:

𝛳offAxis = acos(lightAxis • emissionDir)
𝛳cutoff = toRadians(coneAngle)
𝛳offAxis > 𝛳cutoff ⟹ LScalar = 0

For angles < coneAngle, see the documentation for shaping:cone:softness. However, at the default of coneSoftness = 0, the luminance is unaltered if emissionOffAxisAngle <= coneAngle, so the coneAngle functions as a hard binary "off" toggle for all angles > coneAngle.

Declaration float inputs:shaping:cone:angle = 90
C++ Type float
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Float

◆ GetShapingConeSoftnessAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShapingConeSoftnessAttr ( ) const

Controls the cutoff softness for cone angle.

At the default of coneSoftness = 0, the luminance is unaltered if emissionOffAxisAngle <= coneAngle, and 0 if emissionOffAxisAngle > coneAngle, so in this situation the coneAngle functions as a hard binary "off" toggle for all angles > coneAngle.

For coneSoftness in the range (0, 1], it defines the proportion of the non-cutoff angles over which the luminance is smoothly interpolated from 0 to 1. Mathematically:

𝛳offAxis = acos(lightAxis • emissionDir)
𝛳cutoff = toRadians(coneAngle)
𝛳smoothStart = lerp(coneSoftness, 𝛳cutoff, 0)
LScalar = LScalar ⋅ (1 - smoothStep(𝛳offAxis, 𝛳smoothStart, 𝛳cutoff)

Values outside of the [0, 1] range are clamped to the range.

Declaration float inputs:shaping:cone:softness = 0
C++ Type float
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Float

◆ GetShapingFocusAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShapingFocusAttr ( ) const

A control to shape the spread of light.

Higher focus values pull light towards the center and narrow the spread.

This is implemented as a multiplication with the absolute value of the dot product between the light's surface normal and the emission direction, raised to the power focus. See inputs:shaping:focusTint for the complete formula, but if we assume a default focusTint of pure black, then that formula simplifies to:

focusFactor = |emissionDirection • lightNormal|focus
LColor = focusFactor ⋅ LColor

Values < 0 are ignored.

Declaration float inputs:shaping:focus = 0
C++ Type float
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Float

◆ GetShapingFocusTintAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShapingFocusTintAttr ( ) const

Off-axis color tint.

This tints the emission in the falloff region. The default tint is black.

This is implemented as a linear interpolation between focusTint and white, by the factor computed from the focus attribute, in other words:

focusFactor = |emissionDirection • lightNormal|focus
focusColor = lerp(focusFactor, focusTint, [1, 1, 1])
LColor = componentwiseMultiply(focusColor, LColor)

Note that this implies that a focusTint of pure white will disable focus.

Declaration color3f inputs:shaping:focusTint = (0, 0, 0)
C++ Type GfVec3f
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Color3f

◆ GetShapingIesAngleScaleAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShapingIesAngleScaleAttr ( ) const

Rescales the angular distribution of the IES profile.

Applies a scaling factor to the latitudinal theta/vertical polar coordinate before sampling the IES profile, to shift the samples more toward the "top" or "bottom" of the profile. The scaling origin varies depending on whether angleScale is positive or negative. If it is positive, the scaling origin is theta = 0. If it is negative, the scaling origin is theta = pi (180 degrees). Values where |angleScale| < 1 will "shrink" the angular range in which the iesProfile is applied, while values where |angleScale| > 1 will "grow" the angular range to which the iesProfile is mapped.

If 𝛳light is the latitudinal theta polar coordinate of the emission direction in the light's local space, and 𝛳ies is the value that will be used when actually sampling the profile, then the exact formula is:

  • if angleScale > 0:
    𝛳ies = 𝛳light / angleScale
  • if angleScale = 0:
    𝛳ies = 𝛳light
  • if angleScale < 0:
    𝛳ies = (𝛳light - π) / -angleScale + π

Usage guidelines for artists / lighting TDs:

If you have an IES profile for a spotlight aimed "down":

  • You should use a positive angleScale (> 0).
  • Values where 0 < angleScale < 1 will narrow the spotlight beam.
  • Values where angleScale > 1 will broaden the spotlight beam.

For example, if the original IES profile is a downward spotlight with a total cone angle of 60°, then angleScale = .5 will narrow it to have a cone angle of 30°, and an angleScale of 1.5 will broaden it to have a cone angle of 90°.

If you have an IES profile for a spotlight aimed "up":

  • You should use a negative angleScale (< 0).
  • Values where -1 < angleScale < 0 will narrow the spotlight beam.
  • Values where angleScale < -1 will broaden the spotlight beam.

For example, if the original IES profile is an upward spotlight with a total cone angle of 60°, then angleScale = -.5 will narrow it to have a cone angle of 30°, and an angleScale of -1.5 will broaden it to have a cone angle of 90°.

If you have an IES profile that's isn't clearly "aimed" in a single direction, OR it's aimed in a direction other than straight up or down:

  • Applying angleScale will alter the vertical angle mapping for your IES light, but it may be difficult to have a clear intuitive sense of how varying the angleScale will affect the shape of your light

If you violate the above rules (i.e., use a negative angleScale for a spotlight aimed down), then angleScale will still alter the vertical- angle mapping, but in more non-intuitive ways (i.e., broadening / narrowing may seem inverted, and the IES profile may seem to "translate" through the vertical angles, rather than uniformly scale).

Declaration float inputs:shaping:ies:angleScale = 0
C++ Type float
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Float

◆ GetShapingIesFileAttr()

USDLUX_API UsdAttribute GetShapingIesFileAttr ( ) const

An IES (Illumination Engineering Society) light profile describing the angular distribution of light.

For full details on the .ies file format, see the full specification, ANSI/IES LM-63-19:

https://store.ies.org/product/lm-63-19-approved-method-ies-standard-file-format-for-the-electronic-transfer-of-photometric-data-and-related-information/

The luminous intensity values in the IES profile are sampled using the emission direction in the light's local space (after a possible transformation by a non-zero shaping:ies:angleScale, see below). The sampled value is then potentially normalized by the overall power of the profile if shaping:ies:normalize is enabled, and then used as a scaling factor on the returned luminance:

𝛳light, 𝜙 = toPolarCoordinates(emissionDirectionInLightSpace)
𝛳ies = applyAngleScale(𝛳light, angleScale)
iesSample = sampleIES(iesFile, 𝛳ies, 𝜙)
iesNormalize ⟹ iesSample = iesSample ⋅ iesProfilePower(iesFile)
LColor = iesSample ⋅ LColor

See inputs:shaping:ies:angleScale for a description of applyAngleScale, and inputs:shaping:ies:normalize for how iesProfilePower is calculated.

Declaration asset inputs:shaping:ies:file
