Node Overview




Node Ports


  • Normal Map

  • Rotation Map (0-1,optional)

A black to white (0-1) map defining the values to rotate the Normal Map.

The Rotational Map is evaluated in addition to the Angle slider in the Node Properties


  • Position

Defines the Midpoint on the histogram from which to contrast from. This replaces the value in the Position Slider in the Node Properties


  • Contrast

Defines the Bracket around the 'Position' for Black & White Point. This replaces the value in the Contrast Slider in the Node Properties
