To make compositing easier, we've added a series of nodes to serve some of the most common compositing operations. Here, we briefly highlight each one, and explain its purpose.

The compositing material nodes expect a float4 input, so make sure you're passing in RGBA and not just RGB .

Over

This node layers one image (A) over another (B), using the alpha from input A.

image7.png

This node expects that the input color channels are pre-multiplied with the image's alpha.

In

This node returns the portion of A that is inside the shape of B.

Out

This node returns the portion of A that is outside the shape of B.

PreMult

This node multiplies the input's RGBA channel by its alpha.

UnPreMult

This node divides the input's RGBA channel by its alpha.
