This page provides information on the V-Ray Bitmap Texture Component in V-Ray for Grasshopper. 


Overview

V-Ray Bitmap component is used to load a bitmap image as a texture. 





Input Parameters

Mode (Integer) – Switches between a Bitmap Texture and Vertex Color mode.

File (Path) – File Path to the texture map.

Transfer Function (Integer) – Specifies the transfer function for the loaded image file.

None – No correction is applied.
sRGB – The loaded image is considered in sRGB transfer function. Inverse sRGB gamma curve is applied.

UVW (Generic Data) – Specifies the texture placement within the UVW space of the object.


 






Output Parameters

V Tex (Generic Data) – Output slot of the Bitmap texture. It can be connected only to the Diffuse, Reflection or Emission input slots of the V-Ray Material Simple.

Footnotes

1 – Vertex Color mode displays vertex colors computed in Rhino. When used, the Channels input value is ignored. Instead, V-Ray internally assigns and reads the vertex data in UV channel 0. Vertex colors of objects created in other platforms can be displayed by assigning their designated custom channel number.
