Component mix vector

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.
