| 4 | | == General == |
| 5 | | |
| 6 | | Nodemaks can be seen as classification-tags in !OpenSceneGraph. Every Node in a file has a Nodemask. Usually this is the default mask, specified in the OSG Exporter-options dialog, but special ones can be used as well, using the Nodemask Helper. |
| 7 | | |
| 8 | | == Possible uses: == |
| 9 | | * You can use the Helper to specifically designate parts of your scene as blocked, using a Collision Mask |
| 10 | | * Or explicitly let an object be walked through (using a no-collision mask). |
| 11 | | |
| 12 | | == To create a Nodemask Helper in 3d Studio Max == |
| 13 | | * Create some geometry; |
| 14 | | * Add an OSG Nodemask Helper object to your scene; |
| 15 | | * Using the 'Add' of 'Add multiple'-butons add the geometry to the Helper; |
| 16 | | * Specify the type of Mask you want to assign; |
| 17 | | * Export using the OSG Exporter. |
