blenderproc.python.material.MaterialLoaderUtility module¶

blenderproc.python.material.MaterialLoaderUtility.add_alpha(nodes, links, alpha_image_path, principled_bsdf)[source]¶

Adds alpha to the principled bsdf node.

Parameters:	nodes (`Nodes`) – Nodes from the current material links (`NodeLinks`) – Links from the current material alpha_image_path (`str`) – Path to the metal image principled_bsdf (`Node`) – Principled BSDF node of the current material
Returns:	bpy.types.Node: The newly constructed texture node

blenderproc.python.material.MaterialLoaderUtility.add_alpha_channel_to_textures(blurry_edges)[source]¶

Adds transparency to all textures, which contain an .png image as an image input

Parameters:	blurry_edges – If True, the edges of the alpha channel might be blurry, this causes errors if the alpha channel should only be 0 or 1

Be careful, when you replace the original texture with something else (Segmentation, …), the necessary texture node gets lost. By copying it into a new material as done in the SegMapRenderer, you can keep the transparency even for those nodes.

blenderproc.python.material.MaterialLoaderUtility.add_alpha_texture_node(used_material, new_material)[source]¶

Adds to a predefined new_material a texture node from an existing material (used_material) This is necessary to connect it later on in the add_alpha_channel_to_textures

Parameters:	used_material – existing material, which might contain a texture node with a .png texture new_material – a new material, which will get a copy of this texture node
Returns:	the modified new_material, if no texture node was found, the original new_material
