List Of Intrinsic Functions - Using intrinsics defined by OctaneRender® requires including <octane-oslintrin.h>.
_evaluateDelayed() - Evaluates an input, and makes texU and texV available during that evaluation. inputVar must be a color input variable for the OSL shader. See "Using delayed input textures" below.
color _evaluateDelayed(color inputVar,float texU,float texV)
_gaussian() - Returns a Gaussian spectrum, normalized so that the maximal value is 1.0. The useful ranges for the inputs are:
mean: 380 nm - 720 nm
sigma: 0 - 250 nm
The returned color is represented as a spectrum.
color _gaussian(float mean,float sigma)
_squareSpectrum() - Returns a spectrum that is 1.0 between begin and end, and 0.0 otherwise.
color _squareSpectrum(float begin,float end)
_triangularSpectrum() - Returns a triangular spectrum that is 1.0 at mean, and reaches 0 at mean +/- spread.
color _triangularSpectrum(float mean,float spread)
_spectrum() - Makes a spectral color. The four inputs correspond to the intensities at the wavelengths returned by getattribute("color:wavelengths", wl).
color _spectrum(float a,float b,float c,float d)
wavelength_color() - wavelength_color(float wavelength) returns a spectrum consisting of a narrow band around wavelength. Colors returned for wavelengths outside (390, 700) will be close to black. OctaneRender® converts this call to _triangularSpectrum(wavelength, 30.0).
blackbody() - blackbody(kelvins) has the same meaning as in standard OSL, but returns a spectral color.
_hueshift() - Shifts the hue of the given color. This is a circular shift. When shift = 6, this represents a full circle. The returned color is represented in the same way as the c argument. For RGB colors, 1 shifts red to yellow, while 2 shifts red to green. For spectral colors, colors shift to lower or higher wavelengths. OctaneRender® samples a limited number of wavelengths, so color fidelity will be rather low.
color _hueshift(color c,float shift)
