Method
Allows a custom piece of HLSL code to be written to produce a distance value from which a procedural shape will be created. For best results with this node you should have a working knowledge of the HLSL shading language, and signed distance fields.

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 x-axis. |
| Rotation Pitch |
Rotate the object about the y-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.

| CSG Mode |
These options change how a this node combines with the rest of the procedural system. To find out more, see CSG Operation.
- Replace, Replaces the previous procedural system.
- Union, Adds the new procedural to the old procedural system.
- Intersection, Interesects the new procedural with the old procedural.
- Subtract, Subtracts the new procedural from the previous procedural system.
- Blend, Blends between both procedurals – driven by the CSG Blend Weight.
- Union Blend, A combination of Union and Blend – driven by the CSG Blend Weight.
- Smooth Union, The new procedural is added to the old, and smoothing is applied to the outcome. Driven by the CSG Blend Weight.
- Smooth Subtract, The new procedural is subtracted from the old, and smoothing is applied to the outcome. Driven by the CSG Blend Weight.
- Offset, Adds one procedural ontop of the other another.
- Custom Code, allows you to enter your own expression code.
|
| CSG Blend Weight |
How much the new procedural blends with the old procedurals, depending on the CSG Blend Mode. |
| Affect Colour |
Affect the colour of the generated procedural system. only functions with “Generate Colours” enabled in some Procedural Render nodes. |
| Always Enabled |
When enabled, this node will run regardless of time bar enable/disable. Due to how Notch handles shader generation with procedurals, with this enabled the node runs more efficiently. |
| Material Colour |
Modify the colour for the procedural material. |
| Custom CSG Code |
