mask

The node mask

mode = viz.MASK_SET

Mask modes
viz.MASK_SET	Set the mask to the new value.
viz.MASK_ADD	Add the value to the existing mask.
viz.MASK_REMOVE	Remove the value from the existing mask.
viz.MASK_TOGGLE	Toggle the value with the existing mask.

The cull mask is used to control which nodes will be rendered by the node. When creating a custom cull mask, use the <viz>.addNodeMask command to ensure that your cull mask does not conflict with any masks used internally by Vizard.

Return Value

Example

#Create a cull mask that won't conflict with any internal masks used by Vizard
CULL_MASK = viz.addNodeMask()

rn = viz.addRenderNode()

#Set the cull mask for the render node
rn.setCullMask(CULL_MASK)

ball = viz.add('ball.wrl')

#Remove cull mask from the balls node mask
#The ball will not be rendered by the render node
ball.setMask(CULL_MASK,mode=viz.MASK_REMOVE)
