Layer Weight Node¶
TheLayer Weight node outputs a weight typically used for layering shaders with theMix Shader node.
Inputs¶
- Blend
Bias the output towards all 0 or all 1. Useful for uneven mixing of shaders.
- Normal
Input meant for plugging in bump or normal maps which will affect the output.
Properties¶
This node has no properties.
Outputs¶
- Fresnel
Dielectric Fresnel weight, useful for example for layering diffuse andglossy shaders to create a plastic material. This is like the Fresnel node,except that the input of this node is in the often more convenient 0.0 to 1.0 range.
- Facing
Weight that blends from the first to the second shaderas the surface goes from facing the viewer to viewing it at a grazing angle.
