Swizzle Node

Swizzling allows you to create a new vector based on rearranging or combining the channels from an existing vector.

Description

The Swizzle node creates a new Output vector as a Vector 4, based on the channels the node receives from an Input vector. You can use the dropdowns on the node to specify which channel from the Input vector should go to a specific channel on the Output vector.

The length of the Input vector's dimension determines the channel dropdown parameters on the Swizzle node. The Swizzle node can only output a Vector 4, and won't display any channels that aren't present on the Input vector as options in its dropdowns.

Ports

Name	Direction	Type	Binding	Description
In	Input	Dynamic Vector	None	Input value
Out	Output	Vector4	None	Output value

Controls

Name	Type	Options	Description
Red Out	Dropdown	Red, Green, Blue, Alpha (depending on input vector dimension)	Choose which channel from the Input vector you want to use for the Red channel of the Output vector.
Green Out	Dropdown	Red, Green, Blue, Alpha (depending on input vector dimension)	Choose which channel from the Input vector you want to use for the Green channel of the Output vector.
Blue Out	Dropdown	Red, Green, Blue, Alpha (depending on input vector dimension)	Choose which channel from the Input vector you want to use for the Blue channel of the Output vector.
Alpha Out	Dropdown	Red, Green, Blue, Alpha (depending on input vector dimension)	Choose which channel from the Input vector you want to use for the Alpha channel of the Output vector.
