Map Constant
Single-purpose mapping node that emits a fixed value into a Map chain. The 'base value' step at the head of a typical chain.
Marked experimental in the Houdini node title. Behaviour and parameters may shift.
Map Constant emits a fixed value into a Mapping chain. Used as the base step at the head of a typical chain, before attribute reads and random jitter modify it. Simpler than Map (the general mapping node, where the same behaviour is reached via the Promote mode), and useful when the chain step is unambiguously a constant.
