Shading

Introduction #

Shading Nodes are designed to allow flexible control over material texture inputs.

You can apply shading nodes to any material input, and chains of shading nodes can be combined to create a variety of effects.

Nodes

Cells	This shading node generates a cell pattern in 2D or 3D.
Channel Boolean	Mix the colour channels in a shading system.
Channel Sampler	This shading node outputs one of the input values from given pixel.
Colour Correction	This shading node applies colour correction to its parent shading node.
Combine	This shading node combines the results of two other shading nodes, with the option to use a third shading node to modulate the blend.
Distance	This shading node generates a pattern using the distance from the given pixel to the node's position.
Environment Image Sampler	This shading node enables you to apply an Environment Image to a material.
Facing	This shading node generates a pattern using the angle between the given pixel normal and a direction either generated from the node's rotation, or the vector between the pixel's position and the node's position.
Fractal Noise	Apply fractal noise shading to a material.
Generate Normals	This shading node generates normals using the height values from the input shading node.
Generate UVs	Generates shading data based on UV Coordinates.
Gradient	Apply gradient shading to a material.
Gradient Recolour	This shading node applies a colour gradient to its parent shading node.
Grid	Apply a grid pattern shading to a material.
Noise	Apply simple noise shading to a material.
Procedural	Uses a procedural system to shade a material.
Randomise RGB	Transforms input greyscale values into random RGB colours.
Shading Null	Creates a copy of the upstream shading node.
Texture Sampler	Use a texture to apply shading to a material.
Tiles	This shading node generates a brick / tile pattern.
Tint	This shading node applies a colour tint to its parent shading node.
Uniform Colour	This shading node generates a uniform colour.
Warp	This shading node distorts an existing shading node
