 +==== Triplanar Mapping ====
 +{{ :tools:pasted:20210208-121923.png}}
 +
 +Triplanar mapping is a type of cubic texture mapping with edge blending.
 +
 +Please have a look at the [[tools:triplanar_mapper|]] for a more elaborate explanation.
 +
 +=== Use Triplanar Mapping ===
 +
 +Activating this toggle enables Triplanar mapping, overring the Projection input and the use of the default UVs. It also enables the controls below used to control the mapping.
 +
 +Controls not described here work identically to those used by the native 2D Image node.
 +
 +=== Triplanar Blend ===
 +This controls how hard/soft the blend of the planar projections is as the normals point away from the major axes.
 +
 +|{{:tools:triplanar_blending0.png?nolink&200|0% Blend}}|{{:tools:triplanar_blending20.png?nolink&200|20% Blend}}|{{:tools:triplanar_blending50.png?nolink&200|20% Blend}}| {{:tools:triplanar_blending100.png?nolink%200|100% Blend}}|
 +|0% Blend|20% Blend|50% Blend|100% Blend|
 +
 +We recommend a value between 5% and 20% for most uses.
 +
 +=== World/Deformed Coords ===
 +This controls if the blending is computed in local or in world space. Please note, this only affects how the blending is computed, not how the images are projected.
 +
 +=== UV Tiles ===
 +== Flip Reverse Side ==
 +
 +If this option is enabled, the projected image will be flipped on the U texture coordinate axis on the negative side of the projection. This can be used to make images containing text be readable on the back side of a mesh as well.
 +
 +=== UV Offset ===
 +
 +Adds an offset to the computed UV coordinates. This can even be used to animate a texture across a surface.
