config.js

Glossary

• Layer - Layer of the scene. Layers parametrization can be found here: config.json.
• Drawing area - Effect drawing framebuffer (usual aspect ratio: 3x4 or 9x16).
• Visible area - Final frame framebuffer. The size is the same or less than drawing area. Equals to the screen size in pixels. Visible and drawing area centers are considered to be the same.

Api.getNamedState(name)

Boolean getter names:

• mouth_open,
• brows_up,
• brows_down,
• has_glasses,
• eyes_state.

The name of the parametre should be passed as "string" type. For example, Api.getNamedState("smile") returns true if the smile is detected, otherwise - returns false. Api.getNamedState("eyes_state") returns array obj consists of 2 boolean values, the 1st for left and the 2nd for the right eye opening state.

Sound

Sound files configured in Sounds section in config.json. Sounds are identified by their names.

Current methods don't affect sounds in video files.

Method	Description
Api.playSound(fileName, isLooped, speedFactor)	Play sound fileName.
Api.playSoundRange(fileName, startTime, stopTime, isLooped, speedFactor)	Play sound fileName in range from startTime to stopTime.
Api.stopSound(fileName)	Stop sound.
Api.pauseSound(fileName)	Pause sound.
Api.setSoundVolume(fileName, volume)	Set volume of sound fileName. Volume value should be from 0 to 1.

Video

Video and GIF files configured in Media section in config.json. It's identified by layer names. Only one video/GIF can be attached to one layer.

Method	Description
Api.setVideoFile(layerId, fileName)	Attach given video/GIF file to specified layer. Existing video/GIF is replaced.
Api.playVideoRange(layerId, startTime, stopTime, isLooped, speedFactor)	Play video/GIF range. Doesn't restart currently played media. Times in seconds.
Api.pauseVideo(layerId)	Pause the video/GIF. Next playVideo resumes from last position.
Api.stopVideo(layerId)	Stop the video/GIF. Next playVideo start from the very beginning.

Recognizer

Method	Description
Api.setRecognizerFeatures(features)	Set recognizer features to be enabled. Available values: "background", "hair", "skin_segmentation", "occlusion", "lips_segmentation", "eyes_segmentation", "lips_shine", "face_acne", "eye_bags", "hair_strand", "glasses", "eyes_correction", "lips_correction"

Example:

Api.setRecognizerFeatures(["background", "hair"]);

Api.setRecognizerFeatures([]); // All features disabled

GLFX

There are 2 methods:

Method	Description
Api.meshfxMsg(command, instanceId, index, stringParam)	Send message to meshfx
Api.meshfxReset()	Reset effect to initial state
Api.isMirrored()	true if mirrored rendering was requested

Argument	Type
command	string
instanceId	int
index	int
stringParam	string

spawn

Instantiates 3d mesh for specific instanceId by file name.

Mesh creating with for the 3rd instanceId loaded from SnakeAnimation03.bsm2:

Api.meshfxMsg("spawn", 3, 0, "SnakeAnimation03.bsm2");

!glfx_FACE can be used instead of file name. It is face mesh from FRX.

del

Deletes 3d mesh with specified instanceId

Api.meshfxMsg("del", 3);

tex

Sets the file as a texture with index for specified instanceId.

Random selection from 2 variants:

Api.meshfxMsg("tex", 3, 0, Math.random() < 0.5 ? "diffuse1.png" : "diffuse2.png");

In most cases textures are set in materials. This method can be used to change textures during animation playback for example. Index of texture to be changed should match the shader selectable texture index had been set in cfg.toml Samplers param of the required material.(For particular example tex_diffuse = 0 could be used)

animOnce, animOnceRev, animLoop

This set of methods can be used to control animations queue.

Play "Start" animation once:

Api.meshfxMsg("animOnce", 3, 0, "Start");

Then play "attack" animation once in reverted way:

Api.meshfxMsg("animOnceRev", 3, 1, "attack");

Then play "Idle" in a loop:

Api.meshfxMsg("animLoop", 3, 2, "Idle");

• animOnce plays animation once and switches to the next one.
• animOnceRev plays animation in a reverted way.
• animLoop plays animation in a loop without switching to the next one.

Commands with index = 0 replace active animation. index >= 1 replace animations in queue. Maximum queue size is 4.

dynImass

Sets inverted bone weight. Because of invertion, the maximum weight is 0, and the minimal is 100.

Api.meshfxMsg("dynImass", 0, 0, "bone1"); // ( "dynImass", mesh id, weight, bone name)

dynGravity

Creates imitation of Gravity power for particular mesh id.

Api.meshfxMsg("dynGravity", 0, 0, "0 -1000 0"); // ("dynGravity", mesh id, 0, "x y z")

dynSphere

Creates collider sphere. It helps to add a limitation to bones movements. For example, you can use it if you need to prevent skinned hair from colliding with the face.

Api.meshfxMsg("dynSphere", 0, 0, "0 0 0 100"); // ("dynGravity", mesh id, 0, "x y z radius"), where xyz is coordinates of Sphere's center

dynDamping

Sets mesh friction. A higher value causes a lower effect. In most cases the range is from 95 to 100.

Api.meshfxMsg("dynDamping", 0, 95); // ("dynDamping", mesh id, coefficient)

dynConstraint

Binds 2 bones.

Api.meshfxMsg("dynConstraint", 0, 100, "bone_3 bone_5"); // ("dynConstraint", mesh id, binding length, "bone1 bone2")

shaderVec4

Allows setting vec4 variable in shader. Additional variable must exist in shader glfx_GLOBAL.

Api.meshfxMsg("shaderVec4", 0, 0, "0.5 1.0 123.0 4.56"); // (0 - always 0, 0 - shader variable id, "" - variables string. Maximum 4)

Shader variables declaration example:

glfx_GLOBAL

{

// The first four are default

mat4 glfx_MVP;

mat4 glfx_PROJ;

mat4 glfx_MV;

vec4 glfx_QUAT;

// Next added, id 0

vec4 js_morph_params;

// id 1 and so on

};

warp

Use added mesh for morphing. Several meshes with different weight can be used - resulting morphing is a mix of all the meshes with their weights. Mesh weight should be set to 0 to exclude it.

Api.meshfxMsg("warp", 0, 100); // (0 - morph object id in the scene, 100 - weight percentage)

Usually, mesh for morphing is set in cfg.toml as warp_mesh parametre value. To apply/edit morphing from JavaScript in runtime warp_mesh value should be set to "!script".
