10.1.9  Object Modifiers

Manipulate the appearance of an object

OBJECT_MODIFIERS:

[OBJECT_PHOTONS] & [CLIPPED_BY] & [BOUNDED_BY] & [MATERIAL] & [INTERIOR] & [INTERIOR_TEXTURE] & [TEXTURE] & [PIGMENT] & [NORMAL] & [FINISH] & [TRANSFORMATION...] & [no_shadow] & [no_image[BOOL]] & [no_reflection{BOOL]] & [inverse] & [double_illuminate[BOOL]] & [hollow [BOOL]]

Specify how an object should interact with photons:

OBJECT_PHOTONS:

Jump to SDL

photons { OBJECT_PHOTON_ITEMS }

OBJECT_PHOTON_ITEMS:

[target [F_SPACING_MULT]] & [refraction BOOL] & [reflection BOOL] & [collect BOOL] & [pass_through [BOOL]]

Slice a portion of a shape:

CLIPPED_BY:

clipped_by { UNTEXTURED_SOLID_OBJECT... } |
clipped_by { bounded_by }

UNTEXTURED_SOLID_OBJECT:

FINITE_SOLID_OBJECT | INFINITE_SOLID_OBJECT

Note, neither with a texture applied.

Specify a bounding shape for an object:

BOUNDED_BY:

bounded_by { UNTEXTURED_SOLID_OBJECT... } |
bounded_by { clipped_by }
