Texture

Texture This node maps a texture from images, movies or live video on geometries.
Live Video This node provides video input from SDI/DVI input cards, webcams, TV tuners, DV device, etc. as a texture.
Snapshot This node makes a snapshot of the current render output and provides it as a texture.
Snapshot Framebuffer Copies the current color buffer of the rendering.
Texture Loader Loads an image or a DDS textures from the specified file directly and provides it as texture.
SVG Loader Rasterizes Scalable Vector Graphics coming in as File or XML Text.
Movie Frame This node provides single frames of a movie clip.
Movie Clip This node loads movies of many file formats and provides their content as a texture.
Movie Stream This node provides single frames of a movie stream.
Texture Saver This node saves a texture to file.
Gradient Texure Generates a 1D Gradient Texture.
Hatch Texture Creates non-realistic rendering. 3D Elements look like they are sketched or hatched.
Background Renders a Texture that always fills the render window.
Image Renders a Texture in 3D Space without taking lighting into account.
Video Source Selector Allows to change the source of a Live Video input device.
VIO Input Renders a Texture that composites the VIO Input into a 3D Layer
Spout Receiver Receives a RGBA texture via ​SPOUT
NDI Receiver Receives an NDI video input and provides it as a texture.
NDI Source List Lists all available NDI sources.
Flipbook Loads and applies a sequence of images to an object.
Substance Loader The Texture Substances Loader node loads sbsar files created with the ​Substance Designer, it provides properties to change the appearance of the resulting Textures.
