Vector Provider
Defines a 3D decimal vector {x, y, z}.
Constant
Generates the provided vector.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Vector | 3D decimal vector |
DensityGradient
Generates the gradient of the provided Density field. The resulting gradient vector shows which direction the Density field increases and how quickly it changes.
For more information about gradient vectors, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SampleDistance | positive decimal value | How far apart the Density field value samples are taken. The optimal value for performance is 1.0. Greater values could be useful for smoothing out results for specific applications. |
| Density | Density slot |
Cache
Caches the input vector for each position.
Use this only if the downstream (child) VectorProvider is expensive and the same coordinate is queried more than once.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SampleDistance | positive decimal value | How far apart the Density field value samples are taken. The optimal value for performance is 1.0. Greater values could be useful for smoothing out results for specific applications. |
| Density | Density slot |
Exported
Allows exporting a VectorProvider as a single instance. Enabling SingleInstance on this node ensures all importers share the same logic.
By default, a completely different instance is created for every Imported node. When multiple Imported nodes import the same exported key, a new instance of that exported VectorProvider tree is created for each Imported node. SingleInstance ensures all importers share the same underlying instance of the node tree.
This node can be used to optimize caching when an exported VectorProvider is imported multiple times in the same context and contains caches. The caches would be shared between the different imported instances.
Important: This is still an experimental feature and could cause unexpected behaviors if misused.
Expected Inputs: 1
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SingleInstance | boolean | Enable this to share the export across all Imported nodes that reference this key. |
| VectorProvider | VectorProvider slot |
Imported
Imports an exported VectorProvider.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | string | The exported VectorProvider. |
