Convert

Parameter Types

Discussion

The Convert node takes data of one type and outputs it in another form. The supported type conversions are shown above with the various convert node types. The Convert node handles data types in the following ways:

• When converting a float to a color or vector, the Convert node copies the float to all channels of the color or vector.

• When converting a color3 to a color4, the Convert node sets the output alpha to 1.0

• When converting a color4 to a color3, the Convert node drops the alpha channel.

• When converting a boolean or integer to a float, the output is either 1.0 or 0.0.

• When converting a vector2 to vector3 or a vector3 to a vector4, the Convert nodes populates the additional channel with a value of 1.0

• When converting a vector4 to a vector3, or a vector3 to a vector2, drop the last channel.
