RayTK

v0.42

Translates coordinates of the input ROP.

Translate can be used in 2D or 3D.

It can either specify an offset for each axis, or a direction and a distance.

When specifying an offset for each axis, it can optionally use a vector field to apply variable amounts of translation based on coordinates. If a field is used, the field values are added to the Translate XYZ parameter.

When specifying a direction and distance, it can optionally use a field to add to the distance specified in the Distance parameter.

Parameters

Name	Description	Regular Handling	Read-Only Handling
Enable
Translate Mode	How to specify the amount of translation.
XYZ Distance: Direction and Distance:
Translate	Amount of translation along each axis. For 2D, only X and Y are used.	Runtime	Baked
Direction	Vector indicating which direction to move towards. A value of 1,0,0 would move to the right on the X axis, and 0,-1,0 would move down on the Y axis.	Runtime	Baked
Distance	How far to move in the specified direction.	Runtime	Baked

Inputs

• definition_in: (optional)
  • Coordinate Types: vec2 vec3
  • Context Types: MaterialContext
  • Return Types: float vec4 Sdf Volume Ray Light Particle
• Translate Field: (optional) If provided, this field is used to control the amount of translation at each point in space. If the field returns a float (or SDF), the `Translate` parameter is *multiplied* by that value. If it returns a vec4, the parts are *added* to the `Translate` parameter parts.
  • Coordinate Types: vec2 vec3
  • Context Types: MaterialContext
  • Return Types: vec4
• Distance Field: (optional) If provided, this field is used to add to the distance that space is moved.
  • Coordinate Types: vec2 vec3
  • Context Types: MaterialContext
  • Return Types: float
• Direction Field: (optional)
  • Coordinate Types: vec2 vec3
