A network of connected nodes that control specific aspects of the shading effect.
Shading networks define how various color and texture nodes work with associated lights and surfaces. The placement of textures on surfaces is also controlled by nodes within the network.
You can connect nodes in a shading network in a non-linear way to create the effects you want. You can also share nodes to create visual relationships or make rendering more efficient.
To fine-tune the shading network, use the Connection Editor.
