Append Node

Description

Creates a new vector Out by combining the channels of input A followed by the channels of input B. Inputs A and B can have up to three channels.

Out can have two to four channels, depending on the combination of channels of the inputs.

Input A channels take priority over input B to combine up to a maximum of four in the output.

Name Direction Type Binding Description
A Input Dynamic None First input value
B Input Dynamic None Second input value
Out Output Dynamic None Combined vector from A and B

Example graph usage

In the following example, an Append node combines a Vector 2 and a Float. The resulting output vector has the following 3 channels:

  • The first channel is the X from the Vector 2.
  • The second channel is the Y from the Vector 2.
  • The third channel is the X from the Float.

Notice that with an Append node, you don't need to use a Split node to break up the Vector 2 into individual channels, then a Combine node to combine the 3 separate channels.

An image of the Graph window that shows a Vector 2 node and a Float node with their outputs connected to the inputs of an Append node.

Generated Code Example

The following example code represents one possible outcome of this node for different inputs combinations.

Vector2 and Float

float3 Append_Out = float3( A.xy, B.x);

Float and Vector3

float4 Append_Out = float4( A.x, B.xyz);

Vector3 and Vector2

float4 Append_Out = float4( A.xyz, B.x);
