Map Blend
Blends two mapping chains together based on a weight.
The Map Blend node mixes two mapping chains.
- Weighted Blend: Interpolates between Chain A and Chain B.
- Masking: The blend weight itself can be driven by a Map, allowing for attribute-driven masking of effects.
Concept
Layering
Use Map Blend to layer complex behaviors. For example, blend between a "Straight" growth pattern and a "Curly" growth pattern based on the height of the plant.
Inputs
- Input 0 — Map A The first map chain.
- Input 1 — Map B The second map chain.
- Input 2 — Weight Map (Optional) A map chain that drives the blend weight (0-1).
- Output — Resulting Map The blended value.
Parameters
Blend
- Weight: Global blend factor (0 = Map A, 1 = Map B). Multiplied by the Weight Map input if present.
Attributes
Does not directly consume attributes unless a Map is connected to the Weight input.
Workflow
- Create two different map chains (e.g., one for "Order" and one for "Chaos").
- Connect them to Map Blend.
- Connect a third Map (mapped to
u) to the Weight input. - The result transitions from Order to Chaos along the branch.
