Sampler State Node

Description

Defines a Sampler State for sampling textures. It should be used in conjunction with sampling Nodes such as the Sample Texture 2D Node. You can set a filter mode with the dropdown parameter Filter and a wrap mode with the dropdown parameter Wrap.

When using a separate Sample State Node you can sample a Texture 2D twice, with different sampler parameters, without defining the Texture 2D itself twice.

Not all filtering, wrap, and Anisotropic filtering modes are available on all platforms.
