Model (Legacy)
warning
The Model Component is deprecated. It has been replaced by the Render Component.
The Model Component enables an entity to render a primitive shape or a model asset.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | The type of the model to be rendered. Can be: Asset, Box, Capsule, Cone, Cylinder, Plane, Sphere. |
| Model | Asset type only. The model asset rendered by this model component. Only a single model can be rendered per model component. |
| Material | Primitive types only. The material asset used to render the primitive shape. |
| Cast Shadows | If enabled, the model rendered by this component will cast shadows onto other models in the scene. |
| Cast Lightmap Shadows | If enabled, the model rendered by this component will cast shadows into lightmaps. |
| Receive Shadows | If enabled, the model rendered by this component will receive shadows cast by other models in the scene. |
| Static | If the model never moves, check this box as a hint to the engine to make certain optimizations. |
| Lightmapped | If enabled, this model does not receive lighting from dynamic lights. Instead it receives lighting generated by lightmap lights. |
| Lightmap Size Multiplier | A multiplier applied to the calculated lightmap size for this model. Increase for higher resolution lightmaps. Only shown when Lightmapped is enabled. |
| Custom AABB | If enabled, allows specifying a custom axis-aligned bounding box for visibility culling instead of using the automatically calculated one. |
| AABB Center | The center position of the custom bounding box. Only shown when Custom AABB is enabled. |
| AABB Half Extents | The half-extents (half width, height, depth) of the custom bounding box. Only shown when Custom AABB is enabled. |
| Batch Group | The Batch Group that this model belongs to. More on Batching here. |
| Layers | The layers to render this model into. |
