unreal.CalibrationPointComponent

class unreal.CalibrationPointComponent(outer: Object | None = None, name: Name | str = 'None')

Bases: ProceduralMeshComponent

One or more instances of this component can be added to an actor (e.g. a static mesh actor blueprint), and should be placed at geometrically and visually distinct landmarks of the object. These 3d points will then be optionally used by any given nodal offset tool implementation to make a 3d-2d correspondence with the 2d points detected in the live action media.

  • single_sample_shadow_from_stationary_lights (bool): [Read-Write] Whether the whole component should be shadowed as one from stationary lights, which makes shadow receiving much cheaper.

  • translucency_sort_distance_offset (float): [Read-Write] Modified sort distance offset for translucent objects in world units. A positive number will move the sort distance further and a negative number will move the distance closer.

    Ignored if the object is not translucent. Warning: Adjusting this value will prevent the renderer from correctly sorting based on distance. Only modify this value if you are certain it will not cause visual artifacts.

  • translucency_sort_priority (int32): [Read-Write] Translucent objects with a lower sort priority draw behind objects with a higher priority. Translucent objects with the same priority are rendered from back-to-front based on their bounds origin. This setting is also used to sort objects being drawn into a runtime virtual texture.

    Ignored if the object is not translucent. The default priority is zero. Warning: This should never be set to a non-default value unless you know what you are doing, as it will prevent the renderer from sorting correctly. It is especially problematic on dynamic gameplay effects.

  • treat_as_background_for_occlusion (bool): [Read-Write] Treat this primitive as part of the background for occlusion purposes. This can be used as an optimization to reduce the cost of rendering skyboxes, large ground planes that are part of the vista, etc.

  • use_as_occluder (bool): [Read-Write] Whether to render the primitive in the depth only pass. This should generally be true for all objects, and let the renderer make decisions about whether to render objects in the depth only pass. todo: if any rendering features rely on a complete depth only pass, this variable needs to go away.

  • use_async_cooking (bool): [Read-Write] Controls whether the physics cooking should be done off the game thread. This should be used when collision geometry doesn’t have to be immediately up to date (For example streaming in far away objects)

  • use_complex_as_simple_collision (bool): [Read-Write] Controls whether the complex (Per poly) geometry should be treated as ‘simple’ collision. Should be set to false if this component is going to be given simple collision and simulated.

  • virtual_texture_cull_mips (int8): [Read-Write] Number of lower mips in the runtime virtual texture to skip for rendering this primitive. Larger values reduce the effective draw distance in the runtime virtual texture. This culling method doesn’t take into account primitive size or virtual texture size.

  • virtual_texture_min_coverage (int8): [Read-Write] Set the minimum pixel coverage before culling from the runtime virtual texture. Larger values reduce the effective draw distance in the runtime virtual texture.
