Color Layer Variations node — Material Maker documentation

# Color Layer Variations node

The Color Layer Variations node can be used to layer several variations of its input. Variations differ by the value of a variable (defined in the Variable parameter), that can is modified automatically according to the From, To and Step parameters.

## Inputs

The Color Layer Variations node has a grayscale input whose variations will be generated and stacked, and a mask input that is applied to each layer.

## Outputs

The Color Layer Variations node has a single grayscale output that shows the layered variations.

## Parameters

The Color Layer Variations node accepts the following parameters:

- From, the initial value of the variable

- To, the maximum value of the variable

- the Step used to loop through all values

- the Variable that is controlled by the node ($?1, $?2, $?3 or $?4)

- the Randomize option, that sets different seeds for different variations

## Note

To generate variations, the Color Layer Variations node sets different values of the variations variable.

The whole incoming branch is affected, until a buffer, text or image node is reached.
