The root path for the prims) created (e.g. \"/Scene/ Objects/Table"). If empty, the node name is used with a leading \"/\".

The following may be used in the path to substitute text: {parent} - the default parent (if set). This may be set by an upstream node such as GeoScope.

{nodename} - the name of this node

When turned on, this will create the missing ancestor prims which don’t already exist in the path. When off, missing ancestors will be pure overs (i.e. overrides), which will cause the prim to not appear in the scene graph or render unless the parent prim ‘overs’ are turned into ‘concrete’ prims.

Sets the type of prim to create if there are missing ancestors in the path.

Specifies the mask pattern to match the prim names to affect.

You can use standard glob-style wildcards, such as '*', '?', to create masks or use individual prim names separated by spaces.

Default - Injected/All Lights - selects the default prim(s) for the node. The default will be the injected mask prim paths if there is an upstream node with this. Otherwise the default mask for this node type is evaluated.

All roots - select the top level Xform(s) in your scene.

Last modified - selects whatever the last node modified was.

All Cameras - selects all Cameras in your scene graph.

All Lights - select all lights in your scene graph.

All Meshes - selects all meshes in your scene graph.

Custom - sets a custom selection of prims that exist in your scene graph.

Scales the power of the light linearly.

Scales the power of the light exponentially as a power of 2, similar to an Fstop control. The result is multiplied against the intensity.

Sets the color of the emitted light.

A multiplier for the effect this light has on the diffuse response of materials.

A multiplier for the effect this light has on the specular response of materials.

Choose what a selection in the Viewer or pivot point is snapped to in the Viewer:

• Geo to Set your geometry to a vertex selection within the scene.

• Geo to Set your geometry to a vertex selection within the scene in a frame range.

• Geo to Snaps your geometry by using a custom script.

• Pivot Point to Set your pivot point to a vertex selection within the scene in a frame range.

• Pivot Point to Set your geometry to a vertex selection within the scene in a frame range.

• Pivot Point to Set your geometry to the selected prim’s bounding box within the scene. Click knob to select which part of the bounding box to snap to.

• Pivot Point to Snaps your pivot point by using a custom script.

Select to import or export a channel file:

• Import chan file - import a channel file and transform the object according to the transformation data in the channel file. Channel files contain a set of Cartesian coordinates for every frame of animation in a given shot. You can create and export them using Nuke or 3D tracking software, such as 3D-Equalizer, Maya, or Boujou.

• Export chan file - export the translation parameters that you’ve applied to the object as a channel file. This is a useful method of sharing setups between artists.

Sets the operation order for scale (S), rotation (R), and translation (T). The possible operation combinations are SRT, STR, RST, RTS, TSR, TRS.

Sets the order of rotation. The possible axial combinations are ZXY, XYZ, XZY, YXZ, YZX, ZXY, ZYX.

Lets you translate the object along the x, y, and z axes. You can also adjust translate values by clicking and dragging the object in the 3D Viewer.

Lets you rotate the object around the x, y, and z axes. You can adjust rotate values by holding down Ctrl/Cmd and dragging in the 3D Viewer.

Lets you scale the object on the x, y, and z axes.

Lets you scale the object simultaneously on the x, y, and z axes.

Lets you skew the object on the x, y, and z axes.

When you make changes to a 3D object’s position, scaling, skewing, and rotation, these occur from the location of the object’s origin point or pivot. The pivot translate and rotate x, y, and z controls allow you to move and rotate the pivot point as required - you can even move it outside of the object. Subsequent transformations applied then occur relative to the new pivot point location and rotation.

You can hold down Ctrl/Cmd and drag the pivot point to a new location in the 3D Viewer.

Local Matrix

Specifies the point at which this transform is applied to the prims (selected by the mask). USD prims support multiple transforms. This setting determines whether the transform should be applied before (Prepend) or after (Append) the upstream transforms, it replaces the existing transform (Replace) or does not change the current transform at all (No Change).

Adjust the display characteristics of the 3D object. These settings don’t affect the render output of the scene; these are for display purposes only in the 3D Viewer.

• off - hides the 3D geometry object.

• wireframe - displays only the outlines of the object’s geometry.

• solid - displays all geometry with a solid color.

• solid + wireframe - displays the geometry as solid color with the object’s geometry outlines.

• textured - displays only the surface texture.

• textured + wireframe - displays the wireframe plus the surface texture.

Note:  The Viewer node 3D > display setting overrides this control.
