Accepts color, opacity, and Alpha. Applied by camera as drawn to bucket but before drawn to screen. Imager cameras can be used to perform special effects processing, to compensate for nonlinearities in the display media, and to convert to device dependent color spaces (such as CMYK or pseudocolor). Imagers can also be used to specify the type of output generated, e.g. to a file rather than the screen. </p> </div> <h2 id="snapshot">Snapshot</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> <a href="/_media/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/bricks/dzsimpleimagerbrick/rootimager.png" class="media" target="_blank" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:panes:shader_mixer:bricks:dzsimpleimagerbrick:rootimager.png" rel="noopener"><img src="/_media/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/bricks/dzsimpleimagerbrick/rootimager.png" class="media" title="Root Imager Brick" alt="Root Imager Brick" /></a> </p> </div> <h2 id="parameters">Parameters</h2> <div class="level2"> </div> <h3 id="inputs">Inputs</h3> <div class="level3"> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <strong>Color :</strong> <a href="/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/shader_workspace/brick_anatomy/start#type" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:panes:shader_mixer:shader_workspace:brick_anatomy:start">Color</a> - Description…</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <strong>Opacity :</strong> <a href="/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/shader_workspace/brick_anatomy/start#type" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:panes:shader_mixer:shader_workspace:brick_anatomy:start">Color</a> - Description…</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <strong>Alpha :</strong> <a href="/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/shader_workspace/brick_anatomy/start#type" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:panes:shader_mixer:shader_workspace:brick_anatomy:start">Float</a> - Description…</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> <strong>Root Settings^{<a href="#fn__1" id="fnt__1" class="fn_top">1)</a>} :</strong> <a href="/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/shader_workspace/brick_anatomy/start#type" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:panes:shader_mixer:shader_workspace:brick_anatomy:start">Float</a> - Description…</div> </li> </ul> </div> <h2 id="examples">Examples</h2> <div class="level2"> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> One example of the use of the Imager brick is to provide a custom backdrop.<br/> <a href="/_media/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/bricks/dzsimpleimagerbrick/imagerbackdroptest.jpg" class="media" target="_blank" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:panes:shader_mixer:bricks:dzsimpleimagerbrick:imagerbackdroptest.jpg" rel="noopener"><img src="/_media/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/bricks/dzsimpleimagerbrick/imagerbackdroptest.jpg" class="media" title="Example 1" alt="Example 1" /></a></div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="footnotes"> <div class="fn">^{<a href="#fnt__1" id="fn__1" class="fn_bot">1)</a>} <div class="content">Available when <strong>Show Advanced</strong> is checked in the <a href="/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/interface/panes/shader_mixer/shader_workspace/brick_anatomy/start#title_bar" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:interface:panes:shader_mixer:shader_workspace:brick_anatomy:start">Brick Option Menu</a>.</div></div> </div>
