Appearance properties

Appearance properties control how the screen appears in the visualiser.

Alpha

This controls the opacity of the screen. When Alpha is set to full (255), the screen is completely opaque; when Alpha is set to 0, the screen is completely transparent.

Note

Please note: The Alpha value only takes effect when the blendModeis set to alpha.

BlendMode

This controls how the screen contents are composited with the rest of the objects in the stage. Use over for nontransparent screens, add for screens that are totally invisible when there is no content on them, and alpha for screens that are partially transparent.

Note

Please note: setting the mode to over when either mask contains transparent pixels will still make those pixels see through.

Content

This controls how the screen displays its content in the Stage Visualiser. If you set it to front, only the front surfaces of the mesh will show content. If you use back, only the back surface will show content. If you select both, both surfaces will display content.

Brightness (NITS)

Sets the brightness in NITS. This value affects visualisation only.

Viewing angle

Angle in degrees where luminance is at 50%. Visualisation in Lux only. Setting a value of 0 will disable the visualisation.

Reflectivity

Proportion of incident light returned by the screen surface.
