Quad Shading Switch is a utility node that enables you to switch between different values based on which surface is being shaded.

The usage of this node is very samilar to TripleShadingSwitch. The only different is this works on quadruple-valued attributes, like rgb and alpha. Note: If you need to switch single attributes (such as Intensity of Translucence), use a Single Shading Switch. If you need to switch double attributes, such as UV coordinates, use a Double Shading switch. And if you need to switch triple attributes, such as xyz, use a Triple Shading switch.

In the table below, important attributes have their names listed in bold in the description column.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
default (def)	compound	n/a
aDefault is the value used by this node when it is not rendering one of the nodes on the aInput list..
defTriple (dtr) float3 0.8, 0.8, 0.8 aDefTriple is the triple value of the aDefault component. defComp1 (dc1) float 0.0 The first component of aDefTriple defComp2 (dc2) float 0.0 The second component of aDefTriple defComp3 (dc3) float 0.0 The third component of aDefTriple
defSingle (dsi) float 0.0 aDefSingle is the single value of aDefault component.
input (i)	compound	n/a
aInput is a combination of two attributes, a quad value and the name of a shape. This is also a multiple attribute, so you can specify any number of these pairs. During rendering, the Output attribute is set depending on which object is being rendered. When one of the objects in in this list is being rendered, then Output is set to its corresponding value.
inQuad (iq) compound n/a aInQuad is the value component of aInput (see above). inTriple (itr) float3 aInTriple is the triple "Value" component of aInQuad inComp1 (ic1) float 0.0 The first component of aInTriple inComp2 (ic2) float 0.0 The second component of aInTriple inComp3 (ic3) float 0.0 The third component of aInTriple inSingle (isi) float 0.0 aInSingle is the single "Value" component of aInQuad
inShape (is) Message n/a aInShape is the "Shape" component of aInput (see above).
output (out)	compound	n/a
aOutput is the output value of the switch. This value depends on what shape is being rendered. When one of the objects in the Input list is being rendered, then output is set to its corresponding value. When none of the objects in the list is being rendered, Output is set to equal to Default.
outTriple (otr) float3 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 outTriple is the triple value of the output component. outComp1 (oc1) float 0.0 The first component of aOutTriple. outComp2 (oc2) float 0.0 The second component of aOutTriple outComp3 (oc3) float 0.0 The third component of aOutTriple
outSingle (osi) float 0.0 aOutSingle is the single value of the output component.
