Method #
These nodes generate different greyscale texture which can be overlaid, used as a source for an effect, or used to modify other nodes. These nodes use the bit depth and frame rate set by the scene, so if you want a 16bit gradient, you’ll need to enable HDR in the Root node.
Generators are generally treated as video sources, but if applied to these nodes it will affect the parent node a little differently.
- Field Root, the generator is generated in a 3D volume.
- Render To Texture, renders directly to the 2D texture.
