Vertex Inputs category

Description

The nodes in this category retrieve information about the surface being shaded from the vertices of the mesh.

Sub-categories

Texcoord The nodes in this category get texture coordinates from a UV set attached to the mesh being shaded.

Nodes

Binormal Returns the binormal (also called the bitangent) vector of the surface being shaded: i.e. the basis vector of tangent space that is orthogonal to both the tangent and the normal of the surface.

Outputs
		Out		auto	The output value or values produced by this node.

Node definition in file: core/shader_nodes/vertex_binormal.shader_node

Color0 Returns the vertex colors in color channel 0 of the mesh being shaded, if any.

Outputs
		Out		auto	The RGBA color value for the pixel being shaded.
Pre-requisites
Output nodes					This node can only be used in a shader graph that contains one of the following output nodes: Output > Standard Base Output > Unlit Base Output > Decal Base Output > Particle Base

Position Returns the 3D position of the pixel being shaded, expressed in object space.

Outputs
		Out		auto	The output value or values produced by this node.
