setImage(image)

 

Set the Image of this texture.

Parameters:
  • image (Blender Image or None.) - The new Image.

Warning: This sets the texture's type to 'Image' if it is not already.

setImageFlags(f1=None, f2=None, f3=None, etc=None)

setSType(stype)

 

Set the SType.

Parameters:
  • stype (string) - The new stype. This can be any of the values listed in STypes or 'Default' which sets the stype to the default value.

Note: the set of valid parameters is dependent on the current texture type. Be sure to always set the texture type before setting the texture's stype; otherwise an exception might occur.

setType(type)

Parameters:
  • type (string) - The new type. Possible options are: 'None', 'Clouds', 'Wood', 'Marble', 'Magic', 'Blend', 'Stucci', 'Noise', 'Image', 'Plugin', 'EnvMap', 'Musgrave', 'Voronoi' and 'DistNoise'

evaluate(coord)

 

Evaluates the texture at this location and returns the result.

The return value is a 4D vector where (x,y,z,w) are (red, green, blue, intensity) For greyscale textures, often intensity only will be used.

Parameters:
  • coord (vector or tuple of 3 numbers)
