Struct VoxColor 

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct VoxColor(pub u32);

A voxel colour in voxlap’s packing: RGB in the low 24 bits, the baked brightness/AO byte on top — 0x80 is neutral (“unlit”), and lighting bakes rewrite it per voxel. NOT alpha: translucency is a material property (see the material palette), never a colour channel.

Tuple Fields

0: u32

Implementations

impl VoxColor

pub const fn rgb(r: u8, g: u8, b: u8) -> VoxColor

A voxel colour at the neutral 0x80 brightness.

pub const fn with_brightness(self, brightness: u8) -> VoxColor

Replace the brightness byte (bakes do this per voxel; hand-set it only for pre-shaded art).

pub const fn rgb_part(self) -> Rgb

The colour part as an Rgb (brightness stripped) — e.g. to tint debris particles with the voxel colour they were carved from.
