Slice Geometry - Notch Reference Manual

Method

This node creates a new mesh by slicing polygons from the original input mesh into a series of cuts. The source mesh must be connected to the Object Node input. The polygons of the mesh are sliced along a planar axis which may be transformed by a Null connected to the Slice Transform input.

Example

Nodegraph Example

Transform

Name	Description
Position X	Move its position along the x-axis in local space.
Position Y	Move its position along the y-axis in local space.
Position Z	Move its position along the z-axis in local space.
Rotation Heading	Rotate the object about the y-axis.
Rotation Pitch	Rotate the object about the x-axis.
Rotation Bank	Rotate the object about the z-axis.
Scale X	Scale along the x-axis.
Scale Y	Scale along the y-axis.
Scale Z	Scale along the z-axis.

Inherit Transform Channels

Toggle which transform channels should be inherited. By default, all are on.

Rendering

Name	Description
Visible	Control whether the node is visible or not to the scene.

Displacement

Name	Description
Displacement Shader	Ability to over-ride internal shader. See writing custom shaders.
Extrude Amount	Control how much the face of a mesh is extruded away from the object.
Slice Thickness	How thick each slice in the displacement is.
Slice Scale	Number of slices in the displacement.
Cuts Visible	Toggle whether the cuts in the geometry are visible.

Inputs

Name	Description	Typical Node Input
Object Node	The object used as the source of the slice geometry.	3D Object
Material	Override the material in the node with an material input.	Materials
Slice Transform	Transform the slices that cut into the geometry.	Null
Displacement Image	Use an image to displace parts of the displacement.	Video Loader
Mapping	Controls the mapping transform used to determine the location of the slices.	Mapping
Transform Modifier	Links all transform properties to the input node.	Null
Target Node	Always faces the x-axis towards the inputs anchor point.	Null
Local Transform Override	Override the transformation values of the node, relative to its parent.	Null
