Angle

When one samples ViewPoints with some preferable direction, it specifies the maximum angle between a viewpoint’s ray and this direction.

Format

Number

Maximum angle between a viewpoint’s ray and a specific direction in radians.

Default

pi/4

Note

One can choose a preferable direction with the following values of ViewPoints node: “XPositive”, “XNegative”, “X”, “YPositive”, “YNegative”, “Y”, “ZPositive”, “ZNegative”, “Z”.

Note

This parameter influences the covered solid angle of viewing directions of the sampled templates. If you want to influence the discretization, please have a look at the AngularResolution and InPlaneAngularResolution parameters.
