Capture Attribute Node

Capture Attribute node.

The Capture Attribute node stores the result of a field on a geometry, and outputs the data as a node socket so it can be used by other nodes.

The result is stored on the geometry just like a regular attribute with a name, but instead of referencing it with a name, it is retrieved whenever the socket is connected to the input of a node. Later on when evaluating the node tree, the attribute will be removed automatically if it is no longer used.

This node is essential because field input nodes like the 半径节点 work in the context of the node they are connected to. Meaning that in order to pass data like to a geometry that doesn’t have radius, an explicit node link with the output of this node must be used.

Note

几何数据(Geometry)

Standard geometry input.

明度

Float or Vector input to evaluate.

这个节点没有属性。

Standard geometry output.

属性

The result of the evaluated field, stored on the geometry.

Here, a noise texture is evaluated in along the path of the curve in one dimension and rendered with a shader. The capture node is required because the output of the does not have a “curve parameter”, since it is a mesh and not a curve. So, the Spline Parameter Node must be evaluated while the geometry is still a curve.
