Krakatoa MY Copy Channel Modifier Node
- The Copy Channel node exposes the following controls:
- Checked by default.
- When checked, the node will be evaluated by the Krakatoa renderer.
- When unchecked, the node will be skipped completely by the Krakatoa renderer as if it was not connected to the Particle Source at all.
- This attribute can be used to temporarily toggle a node on and off without removing it completely from the scene.
- Its state can also be toggled by double-clicking the modifier’s entry on the Modifier Editor’s list.
- This text field provides a user-defined name for the modifier.
- The name is used only for reference/user notes and does not affect the modifier’s functionality.
- This name will also be displayed in the Modifiers Editor, so it should be set to a helpful text reflecting the function of the modifier.
- This read-only text field shows the type for the modifier.
- It cannot be changed by the user.
