Applied to a texture in the background of a scene. It can stretch or pan a background texture as needed.

As an environment shader, this tool can make a background infinite. It can also reveal the 2D background when the surface reflects nothing.
As a lens shader, it can place the texture in front of the entire scene, acting as a slide projector.
