Description

Constant: integer PRIM_ALPHA_MODE = 38;

The integer constant PRIM_ALPHA_MODE has the value 38

Used to specify how the alpha channel of the diffuse texture should affect rendering of a prim’s face.

llSetPrimitiveParams

[ PRIM_ALPHA_MODE, integer face, integer alpha_mode, integer mask_cutoff ]
• integer face – a face number or ALL_SIDES
• integer alpha_mode – PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_* flag
• integer mask_cutoff – when the alpha rendering mode is PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_MASK, sets the alpha value above which a pixel renders as fully opaque, in the range 0 to 255

When used with llSetPrimitiveParams & llSetLinkPrimitiveParams

llGetPrimitiveParams

llGetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_ALPHA_MODE ]);integer face

Returns the list [ integer alpha_mode, integer mask_cutoff ]

• integer face – a face number or ALL_SIDES
• integer alpha_mode – PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_* flag
• integer mask_cutoff – when the alpha rendering mode is PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_MASK, sets the alpha value above which a pixel renders as fully opaque, in the range 0 to 255
alpha_mode Flags V Description Notes
PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_NONE 0 Render the diffuse texture as though the alpha channel were nonexistent The viewer’s build tool sets this by default when a face has a material and no alpha channel is present in the diffuse texture.
PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_BLEND 1 Render the diffuse texture with alpha-blending. This value is also used as the default to clear the materials settings from a prim face.
PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_MASK 2 Render the prim face in alpha-masked mode. Diffuse texture pixels which are more opaque than mask_cutoff will be rendered as fully opaque, while the other pixels will be fully transparent.
PRIM_ALPHA_MODE_EMISSIVE 3 Render the prim face in emissivity mode. Diffuse texture pixels opacity maps to their emissivity when rendered. Fully opaque pixels will effectively be rendered as ‘full bright’.
