Surface Shader

 
 
 

Is a material (shader) that is a wrapper node, which means that you can connect any keyable attribute to this shading group, and then connect the shading group to an object. For example, you can connect an object’s translate position to a Surface Shader’s Out Color attribute to determine the object’s color by the object’s position.

Find this material in the Create bar.
