What is COLOR COMBINE ?

COLOR COMBINE can combine three different maps into one map where each map represents one color channel (RGB). This way it´s possible to create colored procedural maps (e.g. colored noise) where the color set of a procedural map is limited.

What is it good for ?

When procedural maps are limited color-wise, Color Combine can create new colored maps based on using different maps for each color channel (R G B). This is useful for many areas, from natural to entirely artificial elements.


COLOR COMBINE – User Interface and general parameters

The usage of this map is quite simple. It contains three map layers, one for each color channel (R)ed (G)reen (B)lue (A)lpha.

You can, and actually should load different maps into each channel in order to get a colored result. Color Combine is useful for colored procedural maps where the included colors won´t allow RGB multicolored maps, because only 1 or 2 colors can be set.
