Image

Renders a Texture in 3D Space without taking lighting into account

The Image Node renders any kind of Texture in the 3D Scene without the user having to care about the lighting.

Texture Loader will directly load an Image File and Render it. Texture Property provides an Input property that can be bound to any Texture Output, e.g. those of a Movie Clip or Gradient Texture. 1D Gradient will provide a Gradient property that can be edited with the help of the Gradient Editor.

The Node has several Options that change the rendering of the Texture.

• Left aligned, Centered and Right aligned change the horizontal alignment.
• Top aligned, Centered and Bottom aligned change the vertical alignment.
• When Normalizing the Image will be scaled uniformly so that the length of the longer side is 1. Otherwise the Image uses the width and height of the Texture without scaling.
• Lighting disabled will disable the currently used Lighting Model. When wanting to use the Lighting Model of a parent Material Node you should disable this option.
• Two-Sided enables the backface of the image. If disabled the image is not rendered when seen from the back.
