  • Where to find it: (This Node is available in the Nodegraph only)


    • NodeGraph / Right Mouse Click / Add Nodes / Layer / Extension Pack /




The MultiMixer Nodes mimics Anders Langlands Arnold alLayerFloat and alLayerColor Nodes and allows you to layer multiple node streams.


The MultiMixer Nodes come in two variations. One with 4 Input slots (X4) and one with 8 Input Slots (X8).

Apart from the available Inputs they work the same way.



Node Overview


Node Ports


  • Map BG / 2 / 3 /4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

When mapped the corresponding Color field in the Node is no longer used and the Node Connection is used

instead.


MultiMixer (X8) has 8 map slots, while the MultiMixer (X4) only has 4.


  • Alpha BG / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Supplies an Alpha/Mask to each Map slot.


MultiMixer (X8) has 8 alpha slots, while the MultiMixer (X4) only has 4.


Node Properties


MAIN TAB

Layer Slots ( BG / Layer 1 / Layer 2 etc.)


  • Enabled

The slot will only be evaluated if it is enabled


  • Label

Allows the user to add a description to the layer slot


  • Map

Allows you to choose a color for the slot.

If the corresponding node connection is mapped the color field will no longer be evaluated.


  • Alpha Multiplier

Acts as the Opacity value for the Layer Slot.

If a node connection for an alpha is mapped the Alpha Multiplier will multiply against that input


  • Blend Mode

The Blend Mode how to overlay the Layer over the previous one


Clamping


  • Clamp Output

When checked, the result of the Node will be clamped to the values below


  • Min

The lowest value the node is allowed to output when Clamp Output is checked


  • Max

The highest value the node is allowed to output when Clamp Output is checked
