A fast alternative to displacement that only modifies normals to give the appearance of surface height variations. The surface offset is defined by the value input. The position isn’t modified.

Sets the normal to the vector value, after converting from the set Normal Space and applying any flipping as defined by Flip X and Flip Y. The normal is applied relative to the chosen Space.

Offsets P by a component of value in the direction of N. Updates N to fit the new surface positions.

Offsets P by the value vector. The value is applied in the chosen Space.

Use the space defined by the Surface Normal and the UV-tangents. Using this space allows normal textures to be applied to deforming objects, since the vector applied relative to the surface’s orientation, rather than simply in object space.

Use the object’s transform.

(string value repeat). The image map repeats outside the range 0 to 1. Basically, the integer component of the texture coordinate is ignored.

(string value streak). Texture coordinates are clamped to the 0 to 1 range.

(string value decal). Coordinates outside the range 0 to 1 will evaluate to the border color rather than an image color.

(string value box)

(string value gauss)

(string value bartlett)

(string value sinc)

(string value hanning)

(string value blackman)

(string value catrom)

(string value mitchell)

(string value point)

The components of the normal are in the 0-1 range. This is typically done in textures in order to store values in the positive and visible range.

The components of the normal are in their natural, normalized state.
