Combine
Method #
This shading node combines the results of two other shading nodes, with the option to use a third shading node to modulate the blend. Shading nodes are applied to material texture channels to generate textures procedurally while rendering.
Parameters
Parameter Details Combine Mode The combine blend mode.
- Blend : Blends the two inputs linearly using the blend amount.
- Add : Adds the two inputs, modulating the second with the blend amount.
- Subtract : Subtracts the second input from the first, modulating the second with the blend amount.
- Multiply : Multiplies the two inputs.
- Max : Returns the max of the two inputs.
- Min : Returns the min of the two inputs.
Blend Amount The blend amount.
Normalise Output Rescale the values of the combined shader to fit the min and max values within a 0-1 scale.
A Channels Control which of the RGBA channels from the first shader input are used.
B Channels Control which of the RGBA channels from the second shader input are used.
Preview In Viewport Passes this node’s output to the destination material as a colour channel, so it can be previewed more easily.
