This utilitly multiplies or divides input attributes. This utility is divided into three parts—two input attributes, an operator you apply to the two input attributes, and an output attribute to hold the result of the operation. The input and output attributes represent X, Y and Z. Use this node to multiply colors or triple-value attributes.

For a description of the Multiply Divide utility attributes, see Multiply Divide.
