Overview

This node is used to blend or interpolate between the two input values. Unlike the normal Mix vector node, the Component mix vector node takes a vector as its Mix controller and allows you to individually mix the components of the input vectors. That means you can have different mix values for the X, Y and Z components:

Output.x = Input.x and Input 2.x mixed by Mix controller.x
Output.y = Input.y and Input 2.y mixed by Mix controller.y
Output.x = Input.z and Input 2.z mixed by Mix controller.z

The inputs are mixed using linear interpolation. If the mix value is 0 then the Input value will be output. If the mix value is 1 then the Input 2 value will be output. If the mix value is between 0 and 1 then the output will be a blended combination of the two input values.

Settings:

  • Input 2: This is where you specify the node for the Input 2 value.
  • Mix controller: This is where you specify the node that is used to control the mixing between the Input and Input 2 values. If you do not specify a mix controller a value of 0.5 is used to mix each component of the input vectors.


Error conditions

  • It is an error for there to be no Input value. In this the output vector will have all its components set to 0.
  • It is an error for there to be no Input 2 value. In this case the Input value is output.
  • If there is no Mix controller node attached then a value of 0.5 is used to mix each component of the input vectors.



A single object or device in the node network which generates or modifies data and may accept input data or create output data or both, depending on its function. Nodes usually have their own settings which control the data they create or how they modify data passing through them. Nodes are connected together in a network to perform work in a network-based user interface. In Terragen 2 nodes are connected together to describe a scene.

A vector is a set of three scalars, normally representing X, Y and Z coordinates. It also commonly represents rotation, where the values are pitch, heading and bank.
