SOTEXTURECOORDINATEFUNCTION(3iv)

✨ SoTextureCoordinateFunction ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SoTextureCoordinateFunction(3IV) page 💖 this one lives in section 3IV of the manual, and it's giving very "abstract base class" energy, so let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

SoTextureCoordinateFunction — the abstract base class for texture coordinate function nodes. she's the blueprint, not the building, yk? 💅

---

🦋 INHERITS FROM 🦋

SoBase > SoFieldContainer > SoNode > SoTextureCoordinateFunction

so like, that whole glow-up lineage? iconic. she got everything from SoBase all the way down 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so real talk: this is an abstract base class for texture coordinate functions. you don't instantiate her directly, she's the parent 💖

the subclasses of this node let texture coordinates get created by mapping object-space points on the surfaces of shapes into texture space, according to some function. so like, the shape's points get translated into texture-land via a function, and that's the whole vibe. math but make it fashion ✨

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• static SoType getClassTypeId() — returns the type identifier for this class. it's the "who am i" of the node world, and she always knows 🫶

---

🌈 FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS 🌈

TextureCoordinateFunction {
}

look at her. empty. no fields. she's abstract, she's mysterious, she's not about to give you content 💀

and that's the page!! this was SoTextureCoordinateFunction(3IV), brought to you by the section 3IV girlies — go forth and map those object-space points into texture space, no cap 🦋💖✨
