Node Effect 2D

Node Effect 2D available properties

Name	Description	Inherited	Exported to Kanzi Engine
Blur Quality	Sets the visual quality of the blur. Lower quality uses less computing and memory resources.	No	Yes
Blur Radius	Sets the amount of blur by defining the radius of the circular area of pixels that blend into each other. The blur radius also determines the distance in pixels that the blur expands the render area by extending outward from an edge, unless you enable the Masked Blur property. To disable the blur effect, set this property to 0. The default value is 8.	No	Yes
Description	Add a description of the purpose of this item. To export descriptions to a plain text file, select File > Export > Export Descriptions. When you export the kzb file, this description is not included in the exported file.	No	No
Effect Factory Name	The factory name for the effect. Use this name to instantiate an effect from a plugin.	No	No
Invert Mask	Whether to invert the mask so that transparent areas become opaque and opaque areas become transparent.	No	Yes
Mask Channel	Sets the texture channel to use as the input for the mask: - Alpha uses the alpha channel from the texture. This is the default. - Red uses the red color channel from the texture. - Green uses the green color channel from the texture. - Blue uses the blue color channel from the texture. - Luminance uses the luminance calculated from the red, green, and blue channels.	No	Yes
Mask Height	Sets the height of the mask to use in a layout. This value overrides the height of the texture that you use as the mask.	No	Yes
Mask Horizontal Alignment	Sets the horizontal alignment of the mask effect: Left aligns the left edge of the mask with the left edge of the node. This is the default. Right aligns the right edge of the mask with the right edge of the node. Center aligns the mask horizontally to the center of the node. Stretch stretches the mask horizontally to fit the node from the left edge to the right edge.	No	Yes
Mask Offset	Sets the mask offset along the X and Y axes in pixels. Kanzi applies the mask offset after stretch, alignment, and scale.	No	Yes
Mask Scale	Sets the factor by which to scale the mask. Kanzi applies the scale after stretch and alignment.	No	Yes
Mask Strength	Sets the strength of the mask effect in the range from 0 to 1: 0 disables the mask effect. 1 applies the mask at full strength. This is the default. Any value between 0 and 1 partially applies the mask as if the non-masked result was blended with the fully masked version.	No	Yes
Mask Stretch	Sets the stretch mode of the mask effect: None disables stretching. This is the default. Fill stretches the mask to fill the node. Uniform stretches the mask using uniform scaling to fill the node in either vertical or horizontal direction, whichever requires smaller scale. Uniform To Fill stretches the mask using uniform scaling to fill the node in either vertical or horizontal direction, whichever requires larger scale. Repeat does not stretch the mask, and allows the mask to repeat outside of its area based on the mask texture wrap mode.	No	Yes
Mask Texture	Sets the mask texture. The default is no texture.	No	Yes
Mask Vertical Alignment	Sets the vertical alignment of the mask effect: Bottom aligns the bottom edge of the mask with the bottom edge of the node. Top aligns the top edge of the mask with the top edge of the node. This is the default. Center aligns the mask vertically to the center of the node. Stretch stretches the mask vertically to fit the node from the top edge to the bottom edge.	No	Yes
Mask Width	Sets the width of the mask to use in a layout. This value overrides the width of the texture that you use as the mask.	No	Yes
Masked Blur	Sets whether to blur only the pixels whose alpha channel value is not zero. When you enable this property, the blur does not spread to fully transparent pixels and the edges of the content stay sharp. The default value is false.	No	Yes
Shadow Angle	Sets the direction of the shadow as an angle relative to the positive x axis. The default is 45 degrees.	No	Yes
Shadow Blur Radius	Sets the softness of the shadow by defining the distance in pixels the shadow blur extends outward from an edge. For a shadow with sharp edges, set to 0. The default is 8 pixels.	No	Yes
Shadow Color	Sets the color and alpha of the shadow.	No	Yes
Shadow Distance	Sets how far to move the shadow from the object in the direction set by the Shadow Angle property. The default is 10 pixels.	No	Yes
Shadow Only	Whether to render only the shadow without the node contents.	No	Yes
Shadow Quality	Sets the visual quality of the shadow. Lower quality uses less computing and memory resources.	No	Yes
Shadow Type	Sets the type of the shadow: - Drop Shadow appears behind or below objects. - Inner Shadow appears inside objects.	No	Yes
Use Screen Space	Whether to layout the mask relative to the screen instead of the node.	No	Yes
