is there a curve utility!?!

it's the second node over from the left. i know you can get a similar effect using ramps, but the nice thing about using a curve is you can get values higher than one.


You can type in values higher than 1 for luminace in the color picker and therefore go as high as you need with a ramp

well, ok... cool. but if it's possible i'd still like the flexibility of having a curve tool. i tend to think in splines, i guess :p .

so if anyone knows if this tool still exists/where to find it, please tell me! thanks again.

that curve node is a keyframe node not a material utility and judging by the graph editor it looks as though there is some kind of setDrivenKey between the sampler info node and the blinn shader

awesome! thanks for the info.:bounce: i'm excited to try that method out.

i've found that setting driven keys is easier for me. thanks, though.
