Vector - Scalar

Category: Processing > Math

Shader Family: Texture

Output: Scalar

Performs a mathematical vector operation resulting in a scalar parameter.

Name	The shader's name. Enter any name you like, or leave the default.
Operation	Defines the mathematical operation: Length of V1: Defines the length of the vector. Dot Product of V1 and V2: Defines the angle between two vectors. Distance between V1 and V2: Defines the distance between the V1 end point and the V2 end point.
Vector input 1	Defines the vector (1) used in all of the mathematical operations.
Vector input 2	Defines the vector (2) used in all of the mathematical operations.

Render Tree Usage

Connect one or two vector-output shaders (bumpmap generator, Texture Space Controllers) to the Input parameters. Once an operation is selected, the output can be used on any shader that accepts a scalar input.
