Derive Node Reference

Grayscale Node

Description

The Grayscale node converts the input texture to a grayscale texture. When working with photography, depending on the composition of the photographed texture, converting it to a grayscale texture might already be a good approximation of the underlying heightfield, allowing an easy extraction of both ambient occlusion and normal data.
