Pixel Processor
Pixel Processor
In: Atomic Nodes
Complex
Since SD5.0+
Description
The Pixel Processor allows you to execute a custom function for every pixel that is returned as output, on an optional input.It is by far the most versatile node in Substance Designer, as it allows any mathematical operation to be run and return results inside your graph.
Similar to FX-Map, it requires the user to set up the internal functionality themselves. Where the Pixel Processor differs from FX-Map is that it is not focused on placing patterns, with multiple functions controlling pattern shape and placement. Instead, a single function is run in parallell for every pixel, where each pixel is unaware of the calculation results of other pixels. The Pixel Processor is similar to the Value Processor, which runs on only single values and can provide a nice optimization compared to the Pixel Processor.
For users familar with creating Shader functions in Node-based editors, the Pixel Processor should be a familiar environment.
