Re: scalar state still working?
Thanks for all the input guys! Got it working in the end with just a simple incidence. On 18/03/2015 20:28, Matt Lind wrote: Scalar state should be working just fine. I assume you're trying to compute incidence using a dot product? Make sure your input vectors are unit vectors and described in the same coordinate space. Also make sure your vector orientations are described correctly as well. Remember, the viewing vector is opposite what you need it to be as it points towards the subject. If you don't meet those criteria, all bets are off. If all is correct, the output will be the cosine of the angle between the two vectors which you may or may not want to linearize for use in the gradient.

try an incidence node connected to the input of a gradient mixer.
