Step Node - Derive

Derive Node Reference

Step Node

Description

The Step node takes two inputs and outputs either 0 or 1, depending on which of the inputs is greater. The rule of operation is as follows:

if (A>B) Output = 0;

if (A<=B) Output = 1;

Properties

Property Name	Property Type	Description
A	Float	Uniform float to be used as the first input of the step operation (only available if the Base-input is not connected).
B	Float	Uniform float to be used as the second input of the step operation (only available if the Base-input is not connected).

Inputs

Input Name	Allowed Data Types	Description
A	Float, RGBA	Input that takes the texture containing the first values for the step operation.
B	Float, RGBA	Input that takes the texture containing the second values for the step operation.

Outputs

Output Name	Data Type	Description
Result	Float	Outputs either 0 or 1, depending on whether A is greater than B or not, following the rule of operation: if (A>B) Result= 0; if (A<=B) Result= 1; This operation is performed for each pixl, the output data type is always Float, meaning all color channels hold the same value.
