CloseThe reflection probe is used to capture the surroundings into a texture which is passed to the shaders and used for reflections.
The properties are an exact match for the values shown in the Inspector.
This class is a script interface for a reflection probe component.
Reflection probes are usually just created in the Editor, but sometimes you might want to create a reflection probe from a script:
using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor;
public class ProbeCreator { [MenuItem("ReflectionProbe/CreateRealtimeProbe")] public static void RealtimeProbe() { // Add a GameObject with a ReflectionProbe component GameObject probeGameObject = new GameObject("Realtime Reflection Probe"); ReflectionProbe probeComponent = probeGameObject.AddComponent<ReflectionProbe>(); // The probe will contribute to reflections inside a box of size 10x10x10 centered on the position of the probe probeComponent.size = new Vector3(10, 10, 10);
// Set the type to realtime and refresh the probe every frame probeComponent.mode = UnityEngine.Rendering.ReflectionProbeMode.Realtime; probeComponent.refreshMode = UnityEngine.Rendering.ReflectionProbeRefreshMode.EveryFrame; } }
defaultTexture | The surface texture of the default reflection probe that captures the environment contribution. Read only. |
defaultTextureHDRDecodeValues | HDR decode values of the default reflection probe texture. |
backgroundColor | The color with which the texture of reflection probe will be cleared. |
bakedTexture | Reference to the baked texture of the reflection probe's surrounding. |
blendDistance | Distance around probe used for blending (used in deferred probes). |
bounds | The probe's world space axis-aligned bounding box in which the probe can contribute to reflections (Read Only). |
boxProjection | Should this reflection probe use box projection? |
center | The center of the probe's bounding box in which the probe can contribute to reflections. The center is relative to the position of the probe. |
clearFlags | How the reflection probe clears the background. |
cullingMask | This is used to render parts of the reflecion probe's surrounding selectively. |
customBakedTexture | Reference to the baked texture of the reflection probe's surrounding. Use this to assign custom reflection texture. |
farClipPlane | The far clipping plane distance when rendering the probe. |
hdr | Should this reflection probe use HDR rendering? |
importance | Reflection probe importance. |
intensity | The intensity modifier that is applied to the texture of reflection probe in the shader. |
mode | Should reflection probe texture be generated in the Editor (ReflectionProbeMode.Baked) or should probe use custom specified texure (ReflectionProbeMode.Custom)? |
nearClipPlane | The near clipping plane distance when rendering the probe. |
realtimeTexture | Reference to the real-time texture of the reflection probe's surroundings. Use this to assign a RenderTexture to use for real-time reflection. |
refreshMode | Sets the way the probe will refresh.Additional resources: ReflectionProbeRefreshMode. |
renderDynamicObjects | Specifies whether Unity should render non-static GameObjects into the Reflection Probe. If you set this to true, Unity renders non-static GameObjects into the Reflection Probe. If you set this to false, Unity does not render non-static GameObjects into the Reflection Probe. Unity only takes this property into account if the Reflection Probe's Type is Custom. |
resolution | Resolution of the underlying reflection texture in pixels. |
shadowDistance | Shadow drawing distance when rendering the probe. |
size | The size of the probe's bounding box in which the probe can contribute to reflections. The size is in world space. |
texture | Texture which is passed to the shader of the objects in the vicinity of the reflection probe (Read Only). |
textureHDRDecodeValues | HDR decode values of the reflection probe texture. |
timeSlicingMode | Sets this probe time-slicing modeAdditional resources: ReflectionProbeTimeSlicingMode. |
IsFinishedRendering | Checks if a probe has finished a time-sliced render. |
RenderProbe | Refreshes the probe's cubemap. |
Reset | Revert all ReflectionProbe parameters to default. |
BlendCubemap | Utility method to blend 2 cubemaps into a target render texture. |
UpdateCachedState | Updates the culling system with the ReflectionProbe's current state. This ensures that Unity correctly culls the ReflectionProbe during rendering if you implement your own runtime reflection system. |
defaultReflectionSet | Adds a delegate to get notifications when the default specular Cubemap is changed. |
defaultReflectionTexture | Adds a delegate to get notifications when the default specular Cubemap is changed. |
reflectionProbeChanged | Adds a delegate to get notifications when a Reflection Probe is added to a Scene or removed from a Scene. |
enabled | Enabled Behaviours are Updated, disabled Behaviours are not. |
isActiveAndEnabled | Reports whether a GameObject and its associated Behaviour is active and enabled. |
gameObject | The game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object. |
tag | The tag of this game object. |
transform | The Transform attached to this GameObject. |
hideFlags | Should the object be hidden, saved with the Scene or modifiable by the user? |
name | The name of the object. |
BroadcastMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children. |
CompareTag | Checks the GameObject's tag against the defined tag. |
GetComponent | Gets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified. |
GetComponentInChildren | Gets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, or any child of the GameObject. |
GetComponentIndex | Gets the index of the component on its parent GameObject. |
GetComponentInParent | Gets a reference to a component of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, or any parent of the GameObject. |
GetComponents | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified. |
GetComponentsInChildren | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, and any child of the GameObject. |
GetComponentsInParent | Gets references to all components of type T on the same GameObject as the component specified, and any parent of the GameObject. |
SendMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object. |
SendMessageUpwards | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour. |
TryGetComponent | Gets the component of the specified type, if it exists. |
GetInstanceID | Gets the instance ID of the object. |
ToString | Returns the name of the object. |
Destroy | Removes a GameObject, component or asset. |
DestroyImmediate | Destroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead. |
DontDestroyOnLoad | Do not destroy the target Object when loading a new Scene. |
FindAnyObjectByType | Retrieves any active loaded object of Type type. |
FindFirstObjectByType | Retrieves the first active loaded object of Type type. |
FindObjectsByType | Retrieves a list of all loaded objects of Type type. |
Instantiate | Clones the object original and returns the clone. |
InstantiateAsync | Captures a snapshot of the original object (that must be related to some GameObject) and returns the AsyncInstantiateOperation. |
bool | Does the object exist? |
operator != | Compares if two objects refer to a different object. |
operator == | Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object. |
