Method
This node applies grid pattern to the shading of a material node. This can be used to deform, recolour and change the lighting on a mesh.

Mapping Type |
What kind of mapping is to be applied.
- World Position, the position of each vertex relative to the scene world space (most commonly used with Spherical, Planar, Perspective mappings).
- Object Local Position, the position of each vertex relative to the objects local space.
- View-Space Position, the position of each vertex relative to the cameras view.
- Texture Coordinate, the position of each vertex relative to the objects texture coordinates.
- World Normal, the world normals after transformations are applied.
|
Output Channel |
Which channel will be affected by the fractal noise.
- Colour RGBA
- Colour RGB
- Colour Alpha
- Normal
- Texture Coordinate
- Position
|
Blend Mode |
How the new texture or deformation will blend with the current object. See Blend Modes for more details. |
Shader Pass |
How the final modified shading is applied to the shape.
- Vertex, The shading is only changed from vertex to vertex.
- Tessellation, The shading is applied as the model is tessellated. only functions with Tessellation Enabled in connected objects.
- Pixel, The shading is applied per pixel in screen space, so it will always be applied optimally.

Blend Amount |
The amount the generator is blended with the output. |
