Curves Objects
The Redshift for Katana plugin supports the extraction of the curves type locations, including specific information like curve “ width” attribute at point level, arbitrary data at primitive level or multiple UV maps. The curves are translated to RSMeshHair objects, that can manage large amount of curve primitives efficiently. The curves objects support all the Redshift object level features, that can be configured using the RedshiftObjectSettings node.
Point Clouds
The pointcloud type locations are extracted by the plugin and translated to RSPointClouds objects, that can hold large amount of sphere particles or can be rendered instancing a master object. The point clouds supports the “width” attribute to set the particle scale, and any kind of arbitrary user data at point level.
The point clouds are going to be rendered as sphere primitives if the “Point Cloud Master Object” parameter is leave empty in the RedshiftObjectSettings node. Using this node it is possible also configure the point cloud visibility or matte settings. Redshift supports the rendering of large amounts of sphere particles, only limited by the available CPU RAM.
The Redshift point clouds can also work instancing a master mesh object. The parameters related to the object to be instanced are also included in the RedshiftObjectSettings node.
