StandardFrameAsset

Remarks

Expands at build time into the same node graph a hand-authored document would contain — sample 13's Frame.vxcompositor at full knobs, the bare sky/opaque/tonemap chain at none. The knobs are few and semantic on purpose: they say what the game wants, never how the frame is wired, and everything the expansion emits (resource extents, load actions, seat/publisher pairs, pass order) is the invariant the 2026-08-04 audit paid for, encoded once here instead of transcribed per project.

The type lives in the effect set rather than beside the compositor schema, and not by accident: the expansion emits SkyAsset, TonemapAsset and their siblings, which Vixen.Rendering must not reference — the builder reaches node kinds it does not know through ISceneRendererFactory, and this node reaches the builder the same way, through PostEffectFactory implementing ICompositorAssetTransformer. Registering the factory a host already registers is therefore the whole installation.

⚠ Two facts stay the host's, exactly as they are for a hand-authored frame. The caster stages are extraction's: a host whose objects should cast adds "Shadow" (and "Motion" for TAA) to GraphicsOptions.CasterStages, because a frame document cannot decide what an object is extracted as. And the ambient split is the material's: gi above Off emits the split targets and the combine, which pay off when the shading pass runs with ForwardPlus.SplitOutputs on. Driving both from the expansion is owed to a later increment; until then they are stated here rather than discovered.

Artistic values are deliberately neutral — the shipped node defaults, untouched — because look belongs to the .vxlook profile (Look), not to pipeline structure: it lands on the emitted nodes through the volume fold at run time, so editing it relights the same expanded document with nothing rebuilt. What is not neutral is structure: depth read-only on the velocity and particle passes, back-face culling and zero raster bias on the caster stage, the per-target load lists, the TAA-before-fog ordering. Those are correctness, and they are this type's whole point.

Fields and properties (13)
