FieldConstant

The FieldConstant node creates a 3D field with a constant value over all 3D space.

Inputs and Controls

Connection Type	Connection Name	Function
No inputs.

Control (UI)	Knob (Scripting)	Default Value	Function
FieldConstant Tab
Type	type	Vector	Choose between various types of field: Scalar, Vector, Point and Color. The difference is that you get different types of knob for the value (e.g. a color knob for colors), and the type also affects the preview - e.g. colors are drawn as a color volume, while vectors draw as arrows.
Value	value	x = 0, y = 0, z = 0	Specifies the x, y, and z values of the Field constant. (Vector)
Value	scalar_value	0	Specifies the value. (Scalar)
Point	point_value	x = 0, y = 0, z = 0	Specifies the x, y, and z values of the Field constant. (Point)
Color	scalar_value	0	Specifies the value. (Color)
Display Tab
Draw Bounding Box	preview_bounds	Unchanged	Draw the bounding box of the field if it has one. Select between On, Off, and Unchanged. Unchanged means that this option is inherited from nodes above it in the node graph. By inheriting On or Off from above, this means this setting only needs to be edited in one node to affect the display across all Field nodes in the node graph.
Draw Preview	preview_on	Unchanged	Draw a rough preview of the field. Select between On, Off, and Unchanged. Unchanged means that this option is inherited from nodes above it in the node graph. By inheriting On or Off from above, this means this setting only needs to be edited in one node to affect the display across all Field nodes in the node graph.
Opacity	preview_opacity	1	The opacity at which to draw the preview.
Scale	preview_scale	1	A value by which the field is multiplied before drawing. You may need to increase this to display faint volumes for example.
Offset	preview_offset	0	A value added to the field before drawing (after scaling).
Detail	preview_detail	1	The detail level at which the preview is drawn. Large values are more accurate but slower to draw.
