Taper
In: Substance model graphs > Deformation
Description
The Taper node node applies a taper deformation on all items in the scene connected to the Geometry input.
This deformation is a non-uniform scaling which is applied on the X-axis and Y-axis from the bottom limit (no rotation) to the top limit (full rotation) along the Y-axis of the reference Basis.
Scaling is interpolated from the bottom limit to the top limit.
Parameters
- Begin scale Vector2
The amount of scaling to be applied at the top limit on the X-axis and Y-axis as a vector2. - End scale Vector2
The amount of scaling to be applied at the bottom limit on the X-axis and Y-axis as a vector2. - Smoothness Float
The magnitude by which a smoothstep curve should be applied to the taper. - Begin Float
The position on the Y-axis up to which the Begin scale value should be applied. - End Float
The position on the Y-axis from which the End scale value should be applied. - Deformation type Integer (selects an Enum index)
Controls whether the scaling is applied non-uniformly (Deform) or uniformly (Transform) on the scene items. - Geometry Scene
The scene holding the items which should be deformed. - Basis
- Basis Scene
The scene holding the reference Basis to be used. - Basis mode Integer (selects an Enum index)
The arrangement of the axis in the reference Basis.
