 ====== Projection Ex ====== ====== Projection Ex ======
  
 +Projection Ex is a system to work around the limits of the native projection nodes system in LightWave 3D.
 +
 +Some speciality projections such as Triplanar require more than one texture sample in places, which implies that they also require more than one UV coordinate per surface spot.
 +The native projections don't allow for that, which is why Projection Ex has been created. 
 +
 +This allows for cleaner node graphs with nodes dedicated to a specific function. One example would be creating a [[tools:projection_ex:triplanar]], adding [[tools:projection_ex:repetition]] to it and using the resulting projection to drive all images used by a single [[tools:pbr_texture_set|]].
