Colour Adjust Shader

Colour Adjust Shader

Overview

The Colour Adjust Shader allows you to adjust the colour of the input shader using the Black and White points, and Gamma.

Settings:

• Name: This setting allows you to apply a descriptive name to the node, which can be helpful when using multiple Colour adjust nodes in a project.
• Clamp below black:
• Clamp above white:

A shader is a program or set of instructions used in 3D computer graphics to determine the final surface properties of an object or image. This can include arbitrarily complex descriptions of light absorption and diffusion, texture mapping, reflection and refraction, shadowing, surface displacement and post-processing effects. In Terragen 2 shaders are used to construct and modify almost every element of a scene.

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.
