Documentation / scene / VertexUVNode

Class: VertexUVNode ​

Defined in: libs/scene/src/utility/blueprint/material/inputs.ts:303

Vertex UV coordinate input node

Remarks ​

Provides access to per-vertex texture coordinates (UV coordinates) from the mesh. UV coordinates map 3D mesh vertices to 2D texture space, typically in the range [0, 1].

Used for:

  • Texture sampling (most common use)
  • Procedural pattern generation
  • Gradient effects based on position in UV space
  • Decal placement

Outputs:

  • Output 1: Full UV coordinates (vec2)
  • Output 2: U coordinate (horizontal, float)
  • Output 3: V coordinate (vertical, float)

Example ​

typescript
const uv = new VertexUVNode();

// Sample texture using UV coordinates
textureSample.connectInput(1, uv, 1);

// Use U coordinate for horizontal gradient
mixNode.connectInput(3, uv, 2);
