v0.40

Field that applies values based on a band/slice of an axis.

For example, this can be used to have one color within Z = 0.3 to 0.5, and another color for all other coordinates.

See also the slice operator, which behaves similarly for SDF results.

Center

The center position along the axis of the “inside” part of the band.

 Runtime Baked
Width

The width of the “inside” part of the band, along the axis.

 Runtime Baked
Enable Blending

Whether to smooth the transition between “inside” and “outside” vs a hard cutoff.

 Semi-Baked Semi-Baked
Blending

The blending distance between “inside” and “outside”. This applies to both borders of the “inside” area.

 Runtime Baked
Return Type

Whether to produce a single float value or a vector with 4 parts.
  • Float:
  • Vector:
Inside Value

The value used for the “inside” part. If Return Type is Float, only the first parameter will be used.

 Runtime Baked
Outside Value

The value used for the “outside” part. If Return Type is Float, only the first parameter will be used.
