• Normal Map
• Transform Tab
• Projection Axis Rotation

Axis Mask lets you easily mask an object based on directions.

• Axis Rotation (XYZ)

When mapped the red channel of the attached connection is used to drive the Rotate X Attribute,

the green channel the Rotate Y Attribute and the blue channel the Rotate Z Attribute

• Jitter Noise

By default the Edge Blending Jitter uses a node internal noise to perform its jittering/randomization of edges.

By attaching a noise of your choosing to the Jitter Noise Connection in the Nodegraph you can overwrite this

internal noise.

• Tangent Space Normal

The 'Tangent Space Normal' Handle allows you to have the Axis Mask evaluated against the effects of a

normal map as well

MAIN TAB

• X / -X

Masks the object from the positive and/or negative world X Axis

• Y / -Y

Masks the object from the positive and/or negative world Y Axis

• Z / -Z

Masks the object from the positive and/or negative world Z Axis

• Falloff

The  Falloff Curve determines the general Falloff of each mask axis to its sides.

• Jitter Intensity

Jitter will make the edges of the axis mask less uniform/straight.

The Jitter Intensity determines the amplitude of the the Jitter.

You can overwrite the Noise used for jittering the edges by mapping the Jitter Noise Port in the Nodegraph

• Jitter Scale

Determines the Frequency of the internal Noise used for jittering.

• Color A/B

The two colors that make up the mask.

Both colors support transparency so for example if you want to make the black part transparent, set the alpha value

of Color B to 0.

• Invert

Swaps Color A+B

• Flip Red/Green

Flips the Red/Green Channel of any normal map attached to the 'Tangent Space Normal' Handle in the Nodegraph

TRANSFORM TAB

• Rotate X / Y / Z

Allows you to rotate the global X, Y and Z axis separately to best suite your models need.
