Triplanar Projection
A high-performance triplanar projection node utilizing Nuke's BlinkScript engine. This tool projects textures onto 3D geometry using Position and Normal passes. Created in Nuke 15.2 but should probably work in older versions.
Features
Texture Projections: Projects up to 3 different textures based on the X, Y, and Z axes.
High-Quality Sampling: Includes Linear, Bilinear, and Anisotropic filtering to reduce blur at oblique angles.
Flexible Controls:
Global and per-axis Translate, Rotate, and Scale.
Normal channel rotation and scale.
Output controls to view the merged result or isolate specific axes.
Blend Exponentto control the sharpness of the transition between projections.Apply X Texture on All Axistoggle for quick single-texture mapping.Apply Texture Alphatoggle to apply the alpha from the texture inputs.
BlinkScript Acceleration: Fully vectorized for CPU and supports GPU acceleration.
Open Source: I've included the full source of the kernel (with comments) and gizmo if you want to learn from it or modify it yourself.
