EnvironmentMap(bpy_struct)

base class — bpy_struct

class bpy.types.EnvironmentMap(bpy_struct)

Environment map created by the renderer and cached for subsequent renders

clip_end

Objects further than this are not visible to map

Type :float in [0.01, inf], default 0.0

clip_start

Objects nearer than this are not visible to map

Type :float in [0.001, inf], default 0.0

depth

Number of times a map will be rendered recursively (mirror effects.)

Type :int in [0, 5], default 0

is_valid

True if this map is ready for use, False if it needs rendering

Type :boolean, default False, (readonly)

layers_ignore

Hide objects on these layers when generating the Environment Map

Type :boolean array of 20 items, default (False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False, False)

mapping

• CUBE Cube, Use environment map with six cube sides.
• PLANE Plane, Only one side is rendered, with Z axis pointing in direction of image.

Type :enum in [‘CUBE’, ‘PLANE’], default ‘CUBE’

resolution

Pixel resolution of the rendered environment map

Type :int in [50, 4096], default 0

source

• STATIC Static, Calculates environment map only once.
• ANIMATED Animated, Calculates environment map at each rendering.
• IMAGE_FILE Image File, Loads a saved environment map image from disk.

Type :enum in [‘STATIC’, ‘ANIMATED’, ‘IMAGE_FILE’], default ‘STATIC’

viewpoint_object

Object to use as the environment map’s viewpoint location

Type :Object

zoom

Type :float in [0.1, 5], default 0.0

clear()

Discard the environment map and free it from memory

save(filepath, scene=None, layout=(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 1.0))

Save the environment map to disc using the scene render settings

Parameters:

• filepath (string) – File path, Location of the output file
• scene (Scene, (optional)) – Overrides the scene from which image parameters are taken
• layout (float array of 12 items in [-inf, inf], (optional)) – File layout, Flat array describing the X,Y position of each cube face in the output image, where 1 is the size of a face - order is [+Z -Z +Y -X -Y +X] (use -1 to skip a face)
