Sample Cubemap Node

Description

Samples a Cubemap and returns a Vector 4 color value for use in the shader. Requires a Direction (Dir) input in world space to sample the Cubemap. You can achieve a blurring effect by using the LOD input to sample at a different Level of Detail. You can also use the Sampler input to define a custom Sampler State.

Ports

Name	Direction	Type	Binding	Description
Cube	Input	Cubemap	None	Cubemap to sample
Dir	Input	Vector 3	Normal (world space)	Direction or Mesh's normal vector
Sampler	Input	Sampler State	Default sampler state	Sampler for the Cubemap
LOD	Input	Float	None	Level of detail for sampling
Out	Output	Vector 4	None	Output value

Generated Code Example

The following example code represents one possible outcome of this node.

float4 _SampleCubemap_Out = SAMPLE_TEXTURECUBE_LOD(Cubemap, Sampler, Dir, LOD);
