SOTEXTURE2TRANSFORM(3iv)

💖 SoTexture2Transform — 2D texture transformation node ✨

Okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 because this is the SoTexture2Transform node from the Open Inventor crew — this one lives in the 3IV manual and it's lowkey the glow-up artist for your textures. No cap. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION

So picture this: this node defines a 2D transformation that gets applied to your texture coordinates. 🦋 It changes the way textures land on the surfaces of every shape that comes after it — so it's giving "I set the vibe for everyone downstream," fr fr.

The transformation is made of three things, in this order:

1. a non-uniform scale about an arbitrary center point
2. a rotation about that same point
3. a translation

⚠️ Bestie, listen — while the transformations can be thought of as being applied in that order, the GL matrices are actually premultiplied in the opposite order. That's why the operations are listed in the reverse order throughout this reference page. Don't let it jump you. 💀

The whole point of all this? It lets a user change the size and position of the textures on objects. Slay. 💅

🎀 FIELDS

• SoSFVec2f translation — Translation in S and T. Where the texture's at, basically. 📍
• SoSFFloat rotation — Counter-clockwise rotation of the coordinate space, in radians. Heads up though: this results in a clockwise rotation of the texture on the object. So the coordinate space spins one way and your texture spins the other — it's giving opposite day. 🙈
• SoSFVec2f scaleFactor — Scaling factors in S and T. Bigger, smaller, whatever, she contains multitudes. ✨
• SoSFVec2f center — Center point used for scaling and rotation. The literal center of the whole situation. 🎯

---

🦋 METHODS

• SoTexture2Transform() — Creates a texture transformation node with default settings. Brand new, fresh out the box, defaults intact. 🎁
• static SoType getClassTypeId() — Returns type identifier for this class. It's the "who am I" of the class, and she knows exactly who she is. 👑

---

🔥 ACTION BEHAVIOR

• SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction — Concatenates transformation with the current texture transformation. She just stacks onto whatever's already there — teamwork makes the dream work, periodt. 🫶

---

🌸 FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

Texture2Transform {
    translation  0 0
    rotation     0
    scaleFactor  1 1
    center       0 0
}

Look at those defaults being all chill and neutral. So demure. So mindful. 🧚

Bye bestie!! 🎀 This was the SoTexture2Transform page from the 3IV manual — no version stamp or date came with it, so we're just vibing with the name and the manual number. Take care of your texture coordinates out there. 🦋✨💅
