Class: MakeVectorNode

Defined in: libs/scene/src/utility/blueprint/common/math.ts:34

Vector constructor node

Remarks

Constructs a vector (vec2, vec3, or vec4) from individual components or smaller vectors. Accepts 1-4 inputs which can be scalars (float) or vectors (vec2, vec3). The output vector size is determined by the total number of components from all inputs.

Valid combinations:

• vec2: float + float, or vec2
• vec3: float + float + float, vec2 + float, float + vec2, or vec3
• vec4: float + float + float + float, vec2 + vec2, vec3 + float, etc.

Example

// Create vec3 from three floats
const makeVec3 = new MakeVectorNode();
makeVec3.connectInput(1, xNode, 1);
makeVec3.connectInput(2, yNode, 1);
makeVec3.connectInput(3, zNode, 1);

// Create vec4 from vec3 and float
const makeVec4 = new MakeVectorNode();
makeVec4.connectInput(1, rgbNode, 1);
makeVec4.connectInput(2, alphaNode, 1);
