Triplanar Normalmap Texture#

MDL Identifier: core_definitions::triplanar_normalmap_texture

Description: Node used to apply normalmap /textures to 3D objects with complex geometry, minimizing distortions by projecting textures from three different directions. Allows texturing using image files of various file formats

Defines the size of the transition area. 0 means hard transition, 1 means blending happens very softly

Strength

float

strength
