fieldExpr

beta

Modifies field values using a custom expression.

The Expression parameter’s menu contains common examples.

Writing expressions:

  • To access a value from input 1, use a function call like inputOp1(p, ctx)
    • The p part is the spatial coordinate, so you can modify it with something like inputOp1(p + vec3(1, 0, 0), ctx), which would move that field to the left.
    • The ctx part is required as the second argument to the function.
  • Other inputs are available as inputOp2(...) etc
  • The two slider parameters are available as THIS_Param1 and THIS_Param2
  • The two vector parameters are available as THIS_Vecparam1 and THIS_Vecparam2
    • To get at an individual part of one of the vector params, you can use THIS_Vecparam1.y
