Merge LW is an enhanced merge node that incorporates a lightwarp system based on Fibonacci scaled blur radius. Instead of relying on a single or uniform blur, the node applies multiple blur passes following the Fibonacci sequence, resulting in a smoother, more natural light wrapping around edges.
In addition to the Fibonacci lightwarp, the node extends the functionality of a standard Merge node by offering extra controls such as falloff shaping, luminance-driven warp influence, and adjustable bias for more precise blending. This makes it a more flexible and visually refined alternative to traditional merge and lightwarp setups.
