Multiplying 3 maps query

[thor98_]

Hi,

It's my first day trying out the slate material editor. I need to multiply 3 vertex color channels on top of my diffuse map.

To my surprise the result looks correct, but the node setup looks really odd.

My question is if there's anything I can change to keep it more simple. Perhaps I can somehow add an additional input to the multiply map?

Try Layer RGBA.

Thank you. I'm very sure this is exactly what I need.

I'll reply back if I get stuck!

If you want to multiply 3 points.

Here is a shader that does so.
You can also integrate the UV channel directly into this shader so that your UV maps and multiply maps gets sweeped up into 1 single map.

shader MultiMap
(
	point a = 0,
	point b = 0,
	point c = 0,
	output point Out = 0,
)
{
	Out = a*b*c;
}
